This is the kind of access an interviewer can get when they're asking genuine questions, in good faith and with genuine interest - not like the majority of the scoop-hunting or 'gotcha' press, mining for clickbait. Brilliant job Tim, one of the best and most enlightening pieces of SpaceX media to date.
I like that he asked a question that started Elon thinking about changing the design.
@@rifz42 do you have a timestamp for me? I can remember that there was something about a Design change but i just wanna listen once more and cant find it
stop it , this was an illusion
@@johnwhorfin5150 bruh what 😂
Business Insider will NEVER get this sort of access….for example.
I really like the straightforward, non-nonsense conversation. Elon not trying to gloss over mistakes, Tim not doing slick editing, just honest questions and answers. Walking around the site makes everything that much more real. Well done.
It's not that Elon wasn't trying to not gloss over mistakes. Buddy said something that just made more sense. If you have some humility you don't even think about the mistake part or being wrong you just focus on the next progression.
And it's hard to call them mistakes when it's the first time for some of these things ever being used. I guess a mistake in the sense it didn't do what they intended.
Kids of the next generation are going to have a shock when they realise that Mine Craft doesn’t actually build stuff in real life?...haha I bet NONE of the workers doing the heavy lifting and actual building of that giant mechano set ever even touched an iPad in their early years!!
Like Elon said over and over - the design process is the easy part.
Hope he’s paying his engineers enough bitcoins! Haha
Amazing times!! 👏🏻🙏🏻🤓🚀
The one thing I liked was how comfortable his employees are around him because he actually works on the line. They almost don't even notice he's there.
@@Jayess-c or they just for the memo about filming and were asked to try and ignore it/look as if nothing was happening :)
You gotta love it when the interviewer is actually knowledgeable on the topic so you can have awesome moments like this: 45:00
and then during his next interview Elon claimed it was his idea
@@steinanderson9849 Because it was his idea
@@azhwanhaghiri6336 haha stan loser
@@azhwanhaghiri6336
I mean... I guess?
Wonderful video. For me personally, the best learning moment was at 17:30 when Elon said “Possibly the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist.” That is truly wonderful advice, if you chose to take it as such and not a simple statement.
What does it even mean practically? I didn’t quite get that and what does that have to do with school/college?
@@tanushbanerjee6774It's because some times the best part is no part.
Meaning, complexity leaves more points of possible failure.
I'd come up with some basic examples, however, that's your job, now. 🤠
@@williamtsmith966847:52

@@tanushbanerjee6774this is relevant to most aspects of life.
I love how Elon references things from Tim's videos, the fact that he's a fan is so cool.
Not just his vids, but is up on the up and coming ones.
Pretty sure his wardrobe is half everyday astronaut merch.
Amazing video
you can tell he is far more comfortable talking to Tim than almost everybody else, I was used to hear him stutter in every sentence!
Elon said at the end that Tim had given him an idea for less complexity .
And Tim was asking lots of good questions .
Elon mentioned on Twitter that he didn’t shower for five days prior to the interview for lack of time, the whole team being in surge mode for the first orbital launch. The fact that he granted you (and us) a 2 hours interview speaks volume to the esteem he holds you in. Congratulation to you and your team Tim!
Or it's simply good PR for SpaceX?
@@Peter-bg1ku Do they need pr? And why with such a small media outlet?
@@caspermartijn well they are getting free publicity though he knows it
It also speaks to the fact that Tim wont ask silly or repeat questions. Considering Elon is perpetually short on time, doing one interview with someone incredibly competent in the field means a better use of time for both parties.
@@caspermartijn Elon seems to enjoy being interviewed by Tim much more then mainstream journalists, where he tends to get repetitively asked simple questions in order to get soundbytes.
He doesn't need PR to sell more product but does interviews and presentations to attract talented engineers to work for him and to inspire younger generations into becoming more interested in the field and perhaps pursuing engineering careers.
47:49 Elon thinks and concurs on Tims improvement suggestion.
Incredible moment, credit to Tim for such in depth knowledge of these rockets.
I love how comfortable his employees seem to be around Elon. A lot of places there is tension anytime the big boss is walking around.
There probably sub contractors
It's because he is usually on the ground and hands on with them. He spent 3 years in Tesla factory, would be out on floor all day. His employees are used to him seeing so hands on and that is rare to see these days.
@@watchingwatches2785 The guy who he is talking to most is literally talking about getting some subcontractors on a permanent basis, so he himself for sure is Tesla Employed.
He’s a cool guy
You couldn't be more wrong.. You can hear one of his employees killing his favourite dog @ 29:49.
But it clearly doesn't affect Elon because he's superhuman of course
My father was an engineer and designer who specialized in developing manufacturing facilities and I grew up with an appreciation of how critical the optimization of manufacture is.
Scott Manley ❤️ lov from india
Vastly Underrated. Also underrated is the design of the pad.
Hullo!!!!!
I've always admired the machines that make the machines in production, fascinating.
My job is to design and then make wooden jewelry and I´m saying for years, that i can make "anything" from wood, but its hard to design a make something, which make sense for me to make and then sell:) Funny that you can compare something so basic, that I make, with something so complex like making reusable rocket system and assambly line:)
The whole conversation about the folly of “Optimizing something that should not exist” is absolute genius.
I just went to a random part of the video and Elon says the phrase you quoted.
I swear I could hear Bezo frantically scribbling notes.
Brilliant
@@jackdaniell5258 I sure hope so
47:27 The moment that Elon refers to in the new tour video. Great job Tim, love your work and thanks for actively improving the starship. :)
Whats the name of the new tour video ?
Interviewer rocket guy should be getting a consulting fee paid by Elon
What I find fascinating as I rewatch this interview is the workers don’t seem Aw-struck or surprised to see Elon out on the tarmac. He obviously is out there working with his team every day and seeing him is a normal day-to-day thing. Leading by example.
"You must have a name not a department" One of the wisest statements I have ever heard.
How many processes exist solely because "It's always been done that way?"
That's almost life in a nutshell.
So true. I´m going to quote this at work whenever we are chasing some POR feature that is adding risk or complications for little apparent reason.
If you look at the SpaceX job board online, most positions include the phrase "you will own [job description]". Not "your responsibilities will include", but "you will OWN". This is not only hugely empowering to the employee - who is essentially empowered to act as if they were a sole proprietor entrepreneur, with all the motivational impetus such unlimited risk/reward endeavours offer/impose - but, it's also hugely value added for the organization; no one gets to pass the buck to the department head and claim that they can only, or only have to perform as well as they are managed. Because the buck doesn't just stop at the department head; it stops with every single person in the department. You OWN your work. With all the potential up and down side that that implies.
Its like Ford Production line 2.0
That literally describes my job. People follow these rules simply because they're a rule or have always existed. They're more concerned with the rules than the product itself. We design per our rules and not per the product. Blows my mind.
I'm 10 min in and I have the thought, "This is the best interview I've ever seen in my entire life.".
Yeah, definitely. I love how Tim adapted and corrected his approach when he started interrupting Elon multiple times. Most people don't get that. Well, correction: NOBODY EVER gets that before ruining a great interview. It's a difficult thing to master, particularly with someone like Elon, because his speech is always punctuated with long, awkward pauses where he's busy formulating the next words out of his mouth - and interviewers just LOVE to jump in right there in interrupt the process. Elon always tends to roll right over top of them, anyway, when they do that. But he only had to do it 2 or 3 times with Tim, and then Tim started shutting up until it was clear Elon was totally done speaking. Great job!
Absolutely phenomenal video! I was expecting it to be really good to go on the tour but I love the conversations you guys had so much better than seeing every little thing. Is there a part two or three video yet? Never mind I see it. I just looked into description and didn't see them
Incredible video - unforgetable as I am coming back to see it again after a year.
"It's particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements...". So good to see Elon Musk so relaxed and engaged. He clearly relished the opportunity to get so much of his design philosophy and principles across. Just the best SpaceX video to date.
Yes, its the kind of sage knowledge/advice that makes you laugh because it really resonates. (Laughter is nothing more than us resonating when we encounter a truth)
Tim is a really good interviewer for him, he's extremely knowledgeable and knows the right questions to ask, and also knows how to steer the conversation (I have autism like Elon and tangents are always flaring off in my mind too). I cringe at some of the questions other interviewers have asked him because they are usually so clueless. Anyway, I know there are more parts to this coming up, but I hope Tim gets to have many interviews with Elon as SpaceX continues to evolve; this will be an important part of history to record.
Just amazing to get a real insight into manufacturing and engineering. Makes me think differently about software engineering things
@@KatharineOsborne Tim is very good isn’t he. Think they genuinely get on so Elon open ups to him.
Best video to date… part 1/3 😵
“Possibly, the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize something that should not exist “ Gotta love this man.
you mean when Elon insisted on writing his own clumsy code for Xpay, then tried to fire actual software engineers to design software with 10x efficiency and 1/4 the code?
@@ct1762 how long ago was this?
A variation of that is "there's no bigger waste of time than doing perfectly that which shouldn't be done at all." 😊
@@ct1762 his insights are based on a lifetime of experience. That’s how progress is made. Most of his mistakes would have been made early in his career. Then he learned, improved, and moved on. It’s an iterative process. Now he’s a few years away from building the first fully reusable rocket and putting humans on Mars.
tshirt qoute
45:07 Seeing Elon consider the addition of thrusters to starship was a testament to his earlier statements about everyone being chief engineer; ideas come from everywhere!
Watch the new one he actually did it ...like nothing about this guy is fake but everything he does is so insane how can it be real but it is what a god
A few hundred years from now , kids in school will be learning in their history classes about Elon Musk like we learned about the Wright Brothers. We are going through a special time right now with this brilliant man.
this is probably the longest interview/tour that elon has ever done. you can tell that he likes tim.
I think only the third row interview at his house was longer (3h+).
Tim is so on to it. He knows what he talking about, isn't just asking some else's prescribed questions, is intelligent enough to keep up with Elons brain spewing numbers left right and centre. There are very few people who could not only keep up but functionally contribute in a meaningful, seriously meaningful way.
@@bradclifton5248 yeah, gotta love Tim! He’s awesome. 😎
The bromance is strong! :)
@@redvintro like what?
Can we just appreciate how absolutely insane it is that Tim pulled this off?? Hats off to you & the entire team - seeing you tour Starbase with its creator is seriously inspirational.
well he also finally has the one million subscribers he deserves!
I remember few months ago, he said that this was going to happen, it was just a matter of getting the timing right
good seeing Soyan here!
We couldnt be more blessed to be a part of this adventure...
- - - > Yes, thank you Tim (his team) and Elon for sharing this!
- - - - - - - > I especially enjoyed Elon's 5 step process and the explanation breakdown of that process!
(For anyone interested, check out Booster 3 Static Fire with no sound delay over on my channel)
It’s funny because for as long as I can remember, visiting factories or seeing them on tv, I’ve always been in awe of the manufacturing systems that make it all happen. Under appreciated to say the least
It’s amazing to watch Elon‘s mind at work after the 45:06 mark, coming up with new ideas after an initial spark.
His silence is so uncanny. And the subsequent conversation is so bizarre that even if I don't get what they were saying I can literally see him say, "I'm thinking but keep talking this is revolutionary."
The fact that footage like this will tell the story of how humanity reached Mars in the future.... and we are here to live it, amazing!
@Train 2noplace He has never said "buy dogecoin". The rest are true but get that outta there.
@Train 2noplace Haha, appreciate it, thanks. I also agree with you.
This is why you need a technical ceo for a tech heavy company. He is clearly deeply knowledgeable about the subject and the trade-offs of the decisions being made. Very impressive.
despite all the people who try to rag on Musk for not being a "real engineer", he sure seems to have learned a lot about engineering. A CEO who actually listens to his engineers and understands his product is pretty rare these days.
Definitely, another one I know is the CEO of 'United Launch Alliance' - 'Smarter Every Day' Destin (accidentally wrote Justin, corrected now) made a video touring their factory. Highly recommended video.
@@cyrilio Tory Bruno is a wildly cool guy... That raw footage factory tour video Destin has is fantastic
I think most people would like their boss to listen to this man.
@@willyolio9590 real engineers call Elon the engineers engineer.
Anyone who says Elon is not an engineer doesn't know what engineering is.
I expected an hour of interview to be a slog. I am positively surprised. there's literally no boring filler, no bullshit. This man knows what he's talking about. the time just flies.
Those Grid Fins are absolutely huge :O I did not think they were that big :D They look so small on the rocket.. Love this channel!! Thank you Tim and team
It’s crazy how Tim went from asking only one question to Elon at a conference and tweeting him along with many other journalists to actually touring all of Starbase with Elon. Tim has gone very far in his career and will go even farther!
I think the key is that unlike most of the reporters Tim was asking questions that were technically in depth
He's gonna be one of the first 5000 people on Mars.
I'm pretty certain he will be picked for dear moon.
I bet raw space is jealous
Elon really only interviews with impartial followers. Like Jay Leno, picks his interviews
1. Make requirements less dumb 2. Delete part or process 3. Simplify or optimize 4. Accelerate cycle time 5. Automate
Thanks for saving me writing this down myself. I love #2 and when said if there isn’t some “Re adding of dropped requirements” the your not deleting aggressively enough. I also loved that every requirement needs a person by name attached to it.
This list is the key insight to why SpaceX, Tesla, Boring, Neuralink, Dojo and everything else are so effective. Imagine if every manufacturer followed these principles.
@@EdKaine What is Dojo?
6. Profit ??? lol
6 profit
You're doing a great job documenting this part
of history, Tim.
Thanks.
The magic is back!
What I like best about this is it is NOT the canned sound bite bits of the big networks. There is even a point when Elon says oh wait we need to apply this to ...., That's awesome as we feel the connection to a person and their thinking behind this huge project. Thanks' for your efforts and devotion to bringing this to the world. Awesome input and information about the engineering behind Starbase and insight to Elon.
I can’t imagine any mainstream media personality having this level of knowledge to engage Elon in such conversation. Great job Tim.
Lame stream media are over paid lazy communists.
@@mbukukanyau you realize most of, if not all, mainstream media are large corporations with pro capitalist bias right?
And the trust is there because they know each other for some time.
That's because they cover a variety of topics not just space travel...
I could the same thing on TESLA stuff but on this stuff I am a dummy.
Love how he can just talk to Elon like a friend and not some corporate billionaire. Amazing interview!
You won't see Jeff whatshisname or Branson doing tours like this, and explaining things to this level.

@@Noam-Bahar yeah who knows maybe Jeff will let Tim film too
@@Noam-Bahar yeah Tory and Elon are both engineers and true rocket guys. Bezos is just a fame/money hungry guy who mocks his slave laborers

New sub over here, you are really smart.
Here a few hours after the First Orbital Test Flight Launch Attempt.
41:05
Now I understand what he meant by ROTATE THE WHOLE STACK.
Imagine if RUclips had been around in years gone by and there were interviews like this with people like Brunel, Edinson, Tesla, Watt etc.
Tim this is epic.
Hey don’t forget Einstein and Bohr :-)
Delete n
Imagine Akash
One would hope, that those hypothetical interviews, would have been as open and educational as this it.
they wouldnt have npc's
I get the feeling Elon really likes and values having these conversations with Tim. He is actively making considerations in possible changes throughout the talk. I really enjoy getting to see the way Elon thinks about problems, and isn't afraid to point out his failures and how he learned from them.
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him spend so much time with a RUclipsr! MKBHD and others have talked with him, but it’s usually like they’re graced with 30 minutes at most. You can just tell Elon lives and breathes this stuff and Starbase is probably his favorite place to be
I agree with you.
He's glad to have a break from all the news reporters who know absolutely nothing about space. Like that women who asked him (in full seriousness) if they could find pink aliens on mars.
He seems tired or preoccupied to but hes really putting in the effort to not make Tim feel uncomfortable. I cant stand ppl who bad mouth Elon.
Elon just wants to go to Mars..zero f*cks given till he makes that happen. Or he will do anything or take any idea that can make that happen.
It’s amazing to she Elon working through problems in his head as he speaks. I love watching interviews of him.
Love your audacity keep on pushing brother God bless the higher power of this universe
“The most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist” - Elon
Wow scary, I read this as he said it.
18:00
This is the main joke for our Bachelor of Engineering school xD
Love these conversational videos with Elon. Some real gold nuggets of engineering are in here (for a non-engineer). Great work Tim!
This sentence will make history in Universities all around the world from now on to eternity.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the humility and humor of Elon's shirt? It's literally an image of the smashed Cybertruck window! hahahahahaha
Came looking for this.
Yeah it’s official Tesla merch you can buy.
You should see what he did with all the rockets that blew up…
@@bertilhatt Actually, some of them are likely part of BN4 at this point, as everything's been recycled.

Love that look Elon gives at 16:50 when he's compared to kerbel
Tim, this interview will go down in history. Imagine, in 200 years people will be watching this in history class to study the beginnings of interplanetary human exploration.
You could say, he’s essentially balls deep in this topic for the memories.
40 seconds in and I already know this is the pinnacle of Space based RUclips content. You really are the man, Tim!
Very energizing to see the passion and enthusiasm for the subject matter. Deeply interesting.

Elon’s candor is a most welcome breath of fresh air in comparison to the folks I have worked with, and for, over my last four decades.
I love how Elon is walking around and none of the employees are looking at him like "wow - the boss is out here" because the boss is ALWAYS out there. Good on you Elon! Running this huge company like a small startup.
They probably don't even know who he is or what he looks like. It's just a job tbh.
@@Galactis1 i think they know who he is, like giga texas when all employees meet cybertruck
@@Galactis1 Considering how well known he is, I really doubt that.
@@Galactis1 how can you not know the richest person in the world if you work for his biggest project
They like "omg! That's Tim Dodd! I love that guy!"
This content is supreme. I can’t imagine ever seeing a piece like this produced by a mainstream media outlet, nor would they know how to talk the talk. Exquisite viewing for the interested!
Great point, and based on your existing knowledge... It's like your comment is kinda like the kind of insight that it is itself in reference to.
Ouch I think I just half pretzel-paradoxed myself
Yea common media are not designed for this kind content, they need to sell ads and create mood nodes over tv in heads of a viewers. But youtube platform is excelent place for a content creators, i pray it will stay open like this for everyone.
Interviewers who know and understand the topic in question are the way to go these days. Normal old school journalism is on its way out and has been for a while. There's nothing worse than listen to or reading an article from a person who is completely ignorant on the subject matter. It's fine for general news. >
Have to admit these kind of interviews make him more relatable and human. I really enjoy listening to him ramble on about everything. Amazing guy.👍
You are wrong the mainstream media have way better expert in science and 10 time more viewers.
great insight on process nva and va mapping development and project stage gates
Kudos, kudos, kudos.
This is pure brilliance.
A world class interview by an independent filmmaker that hands down beats anything I've by a large media outlet for a very long time. The interview itself with a guy who I think is a genuine outlier among the super-successful entrepreneur group and who (for better or worse only history will tell) is pioneering the technology of the future on multiple fronts.
The tips you can glean from Elon as to his true nature could spur on any mere mortal to do that bit more with their lives.
"A dino trap." says the guy with a room full of Raptors.
Underrated 😂
He had to catch them somehow.
Touche
The namesake of "Raptor" is actually not dinosaurs but another term for birds of prey. Still a good joke though :P
Lol
This is also an amazing business lesson. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the in-depth question and answer here. there are very intelligent questions and the answers are explained in the most simplified way that even person like me understand. am not trying to learn this work area but i certainly learned from many of Mr Musk quotes. “ make requirements less dumb, it’s very damaging when a smart person give the requirements because they are not question enough ,“ could not be more truthful.
Musk's algorithm for optimal design:
1 - Make the requirements less dumb.
2 - Delete the part or process
3 - Simplify or Optimize the part or process
4 - Accelerate cycle time
5 - Automate
thanks, i was going to battle to remember it that well.
I was searching exactly for you and your my dear friend, thank you very much for this recap! I'm your 100th thumb up and I wish you the best!
I wrote down 3a. the requirement must come from a person not a department, because that seemed rather crucial 🙂
There's an unspoken 6th step: Do it in that order. His example of the Tesla battery mount was where they did it backward.
@@WouterSimonsPlus Wasn't that 1a
I love how Elon is wearing a shirt with the broken cybertruck window on it XD
I first thought it was an arc reactor shirt, cause he kinda is real life iron man
I know right! When I noticed I just lost it.
Lol is that what that is??
I was trying to make out what it was.
Cheers
i hope it comes with every cyber truck preorder 🤣
Great interview 👍
Informative, inspiring, and interesting
Elon very relaxed, a normal likeable genuine down to earth guy, not boring, draws you in as you follow him around explaining everything exceptionally well.
Loves what he does with drive, enthusiasm and passion ♥️💯
Talk about doing what you love for a living. Elon is living his dream, one reason he is so successful and motivated.
Congratulations Tim on reaching this level of access - literally! 😀
I think elon has always appreciated tim's enthusiasm during interviews and on twitter. kinda cool that tim's able to get this kind of engagement from elon now

Lol. As I was watching this section, came across this comment. This cracked me up.
I love how you can see Elon pit forth a ton of effort to simplify his explanations.
45:05 is the moment you´re looking for, if you came to this video for the booster correction thing.
Elon is so HAPPY when he gets to talk about Space X and the engineering about it.
Pure engineering and manufacturing talk as an interview. This is gold.
Disagree that this is about engineering and manufacturing. It’s about what Elon said in the TED interview - BE USEFUL for the good of humanity. It does not matter what work you do…
45:03 Elon gets help, just incase your looking for the time stamp
You are probably here for this part 45:06 when Elon shows how he isn't arrogant, and notices he could do an improvement because of the conversation. Most people would just not accept improvements, just because it came from someone they deem beneath them. Elon isn't like that. Respect!
sometimes it's easy to forget the scale of what this man has made. Seeing them walking through a small part of Starbase, with huge rockets, parts, engines, machinery, and people reminds us of the magnitude of work he and his team are doing. And that he knows and understands every detail of the whole rocket and its manufacturing system is truly astonishing
When he started out he didn’t know anything. He went to Russia for help from their rocket engineers. They weren’t really interested so he bought some books about rocket design and taught himself.
And this is just the beginning. Even at the scale to support Starlink launches, Artemis, and tourist flights around the Moon you're looking at a couple more highbays, the Phobos and Deimos rigs out at sea and all the oceangoing infrastructure to support all that.
And also the number of regular folks who are getting paid and whose families and communities are being supported because of SpaceX. I often get very annoyed at people who say he ought to be spending his wealth on eliminating poverty... well here is a man creating jobs for crane drivers, riggers, welders, metal works, administrators, engineers, plumbers, electricians etc etc etc
@@viceice He hasn't spent his money on yachts and mansion and private islands, has he? He's plowing it right back into the working economy while returning America to a leadership role. Too bad we had to turn to a South African man to do it.
@@viceice so many people say. 'why is he spendning on space instead of earth?' like as if he going to space and throwing money there. Going to space means paying hard working smart people here on Earth.
But no, they want to 'distribute' money to people who don't want to work hard and learn a skill.
When Elon stares off into space, he is actually staring off into space
Hes looking of home...
"Oh mars, i miss u"
Are you saying he's spacey ?
Brilliant one-liner.
He gets spaced out.

3. Simplify or optimize
4. Accelerate cycle time
5. Automate
such good points!
Can we simplify and optimize these points? 5 must be stupid, we should get them down to 3.
@@Mosern1977 true!
@@Mosern1977 well when you Simplify then you remove parts or processes most of the time and to "Accelerate cycle time" you often automate stuff. so we can just combine 2+3 and 4+5 :)

At 45 mins in Elon is like, “now that you mention it, we probably need to do that” this was the day “everyday astronaut” changed space technology for the better 😃
Everyday Rocket Scientist
Yes, since Ship is using cold gas thrusters right?
Time stamp? I’d like to watch that part again but can’t remember where it was

For Elon to take on board a suggestion from a random guy and to say he's going to implement it WOW what an honour 😉👍
Loving this. Revolutionary.
One of the BEST interactions with Elon I’ve ever seen!! Excellent content 🙌🏻
❤️Hi..
glad to hear from you.
I appreciate your support
Where are you watching from
This is where you see Elon's passion, Not in an interview room but out on the field in his element. I truly admire this man and Dam glad I am alive during this epic movement.
The fact that Elon Musk himself is giving you a tour around his facility that will literally alter the course of humanity is truly awe-inspiring, great work Tim.
Come on bro you’re acting like its such a special opportunity that Tim should find the first quiet corner and immediately do a dive maneuver to suck him off right then and there. Obviously Elon is generous with his time, but lets remember SpaceX needs to fundraise and he already has a wide, sophisticated and differently structured investors in his capital stack; he needs to recruit, at a new location that is relative rural I(if you’ve ever been), and he has a very careful relationship with government he might need to sell to and/or be regulated by, and Elon is defacto writing his own biography by de-empowering his author (hi...s last biographer made fun of how he ate, stirred stuff up with old marriage, had a section that seemed to re-trudge terminating an assistant..ot that the biographer was incorrect, but this “direct to consumer” approach he’s taking eliminates some of the potential attack the next biographer could yield) So what I’m saying is that if its a suck off like you’re panning it out to be maybe it’s closer to a 69, and you should give Tim some credits. We know who’s the big dog, but like, there’s win-win value being created here.
@@zxsw85 Come on bro, you're acting like it's such a special opportunity that you have a voice
@@zxsw85 you have no idea what you’re talking about and it shows. Spouting random gibberish isn’t convincing anyone buddy.
Fantastic Vid Ty.
Kudos - they made some rocket design upgrade realizations as they were looking at the rocket - about 50 minutes.
I liked the discussion about using residual hot gas to vent as maneuvering thrusters. Did anyone notice the moment Everyday Astronaut is asking leading questions and Elon realizes they are going to make big design changes to use the hot gases in more situations???
You can see the gears turning in Elon's head when he takes time to answer Tims questions. A sign of great wisdom
I felt like neurons firing at crazy speed
That ending: "omg I'm pretty sure ITAR won't want ..." *video cuts* XD
after watching 29 of them drive by on live streams all day. :)
Wow, this is great!
I feel like I'm listening to a lecture. This is awesome :)

Brilliant.
Ironic

I’m honestly really impressed by how humble Elon is in this vid. He doesn’t seem like the narcissist the media makes him out to me, he’s very aware of his shortcomings and he will tell you when he was wrong
There is no why to get to were he is at without admitting your wrong in the past
You can’t be right. Only less wrong. -Elon Musk
This is the kind of video all the haters need to watch. It might change their perspective on the man.
@@goingballisticmotion5455 the only problem is they are not intrested about the truth
He is a narcissist but in the best way possible. A little narcissism is healthy
Excellent interview.
Say what you want to about Elon, this man is a mental powerhouse the amount of information that he processes each one of the things he talked about from robotics to engineering to rocketry to production lines is all its own field, and he’s not a master of all of those necessarily, but he has more than a working knowledge of all of them, and can weave them together. And it also shows how hard it is to have groups of people working together that’s what most of the CEOs job is is getting the kings out of people, not communicating, etc..
I genuinely feel like I, personally, just spent almost an hour walking and talking to Elon ...... can't describe how awesome this video is!! A heartfelt THANK YOU to the whole team!
This interview makes me incredibly happy. The fact that there is a billionaire this interested in geeking out on space and simplifying manufacturing for humans.
I think some of that is due to the fact that he is a billionaire BECAUSE he loves geeking out on things. This is Elon at his core. Tim has given us pure RUclips gold with this video.
You can clearly see he’s down to earth.
His understanding of what he’s talking about is outshined by most of us
I have issues with all the billionaires, but Elon is by far the least painful to society. He made his original fortune selling Paypal, cool. He makes his billions flipping the table on the Big car and Aerospace manufactures that have been stuck in 1960's living fat, I have no problem. He funnels it into a actual cheap rocket launch system. Which is one of the coolest things ever done. I just have a problem with some of his... eccentrics, and that his companies treat many of it's employees as disposable. I will add again the caveat this all pales in comparison to that hoarding dragon, Jeff Bezos flying a junk pleasure cruise rocket suborbital.
Yeah now let him nerd out and explain how that absolute UNIT of a starship will make a safe re-entry from the Moon let alone Mars.....
@@j78513 That's because most of them are actually disposable, I don't understand why you think it's a billionaire thing, that's how the world works on any scale. I also don't understand why you care what Bezos does with his money. All your rhetoric reeks of resentment.
We always read about great people in history but it's amazing to be alive during the Elon era who is going to be written about and read by people for hundreds of years in the future
felt like i was actually at starbase in this video. throwback to when starship was using raptor version 1 engines and cold staging. Rapter version 2 and hot staging were good upgrades seems.
At this point, Elon just feels like a celebrity friend that frequently comes on the show.
Right?!
Same goes to Rocket Lab's CEO
@@HeidenLam Yes. Peter Beck must have been cast from the same mold. Should have given him the billions instead of Boing and Bezos.

❤️Hi..
glad to hear from you.
I appreciate your support
Where are you watching from
Thee ICONIC interview 😍
45:06 that moment when you get to see Elon's gears turning is great, love that you had some influence with the design through an offhanded comment!
This!!
It's good to make tours like this for him sometimes.
