Note to all interviewers, dont jump in during "awkward silences" while
interviewing Elon. Hes going to answer you, just let him think first.
Very good advice.
Exactly !
He likes to consider the question and give the best response he can, which is good.
@UCmEVwRi6514jDQW6dvfh6pA Yep, you can see Elon biocomputer going full power... wait a bit more for the answer... it will blow you mind !
Have you interviewed Elon Musk kind sir? Are you speaking that from experience?
I just love how Elon ignores the prestige of mainstream outlets and instead gives this kind of access to a youtuber, because he recognizes the enthusiasm and interest in the subject matter as well as the audience following it
I think he just knows that it would be totally pointless with any kind of news outlet because they wouldnt understand anything they are seeing. They wouldn't know what questions to ask and wouldn't know how to followup any answers even if they were fed questions. And worse, most interviewers would be standing in the middle of rocket parts trying to ask "gotcha" questions about Grimes and Bitcoin and Tesla stock. Because gossip is all they understand.
Tim had earned this with the quality of his questions and his videos, over several years.
@@patreekotime4578 well said man . you are right on .
and he can also be himself without thinking or stress about it. He texted his head of the shield department when they were talking ... it may look rude sometimes but is not those prestige boring interviews.. is more like talking to a friend while happens to record a video of their walk.
hell yeah!
“Take this with a grain of salt because I often am wrong” -Elon Musk
A refreshing dose of humility from a brilliant person.
What amazes me is how unfiltered Elon is. There's no hype, he takes every question on its merits and actually thinks about it, often coming up with new insights, and never falling back on marketing-speak.
true all signs what kind of brilliant genius he really is
yes that is the spectrum
XO. Fr do it 5. Tree
Can’t wait
U it wt Frf Fr f Fr Fr Fr Ted as okay ttytttittetiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii get t
because he isnt trying to sell you anything, hes trying to accomplish a goal
Yes Elon Musk is genuine hands on Albert Einstein of our time,,,, he explains every question plainly and clear,,,, good works Elon keep it up 👍👍👍🌞🌞🌞
As a welder who’s traveled all over the country welding. To hear someone like Elon musk say things like “I’m often wrong” and “if it doesn’t make sense we need to change it”…. It’s just mind blowing. He’s the definition of what an engineer should be. Sadly he’s one of very few who will admit things like this
114k views an hour in?
Do better man😆🇺🇸💪🏻
Easier to admit when you have enough money to be immune to the major ramifications of failure though. Having F-You money lets people think differently
Maybe the humility is the key of the success.
@@JOlivier2011 Well, I'd say his thinking differently led to the wealth.
@@JOlivier2011 yet at the same time. Most people with f-you money don’t play such a key part in the design and improvement of the whole program. Not only in the product but the process and support systems are all a major part of Elon’s everyday life
The fact that the workers don't even turn their heads when the boss walks by proves that he's not lying when he says he spends all of his time at work. They're use to seeing him.
He actually lives there. Amazing
His actual house is in L.A
@@nerd20fromdiscord Not anymore he sold all his properties there.
I had a neighbor who worked as a composite specialist for Elon. I asked him "Have you ever talked with Elon". He said "All the time."
Dude is a workaholic, he will camp out at the office if he has to, to get something working.
The fact that I don’t understand most of what he’s saying but I still watch the entire interview that’s how fascinating Elon is.
How can a human being handle, organize, understand und finance so many hyper-complicated projects? This man is a genious! He is and his team are making history as we speak!
forsure, he will be a historical figure for as long as human history is around. pretty amazing to witness, millions or possibly billions will wish they had
"starship doesn't have people on board; so we can blow things up. that's very helpful" - what a legend
what about climate change?
@@MiriamW9 AAAAAAaaaaaaaaa.....UUUUUUuuuuuuuuuu
@@MiriamW9 too small scale to be factored in (starship in climate change, not the other way around) . One dirty rocket wont make as much damage as 50 semi clean cargo ships doo.
That explains why NASA chose Starship HLS for the Artemis moon missions. Nasa is considering scraping SLS. Instead SpaceX would launch astronauts into LEO on Crew Dragon, dock with Starship HLS lunar lander, go to the moon, come back to LEO ... That would involve lot's of unmanned starship tanker launches & recoveries to refuel the HLS. Even Starship HLS would be launched unmanned into LEO. No problem if a few unmanned Starships blow up/burn up in the process.
That eliminates endangering the crew because they would be flying safely on Crew Dragon.
@@MiriamW9 the world's worst carbon emissions come from manufacturing. SpaceX does have plans to reduce carbon emissions without giving up the goal of making life multi planetary.
You gotta admire the fact that SpaceX stacked B4 and S20 before Tim could finish editing these videos 🤣
Bahaha true!
I want to give you a thumbs up... but it is at 69 :p
@@iamjadedhobo you're safe now to go for thumbs up!
lmao
To be fair in contrast to Tim's usual very elaborate and long documentaries with animation, diagrams, schematics this one was rather easy to edit.
I just love how Tim asked Elon a super relevant question about something he hasn't thought about and then he goes into a deep thought phase. Excellent job Tim
And Elons got another feedback..
The amount of specific engineering knowledge presented here is insane. Engine specs, maneuvering using lift force, heat transfer specifics and fluid dynamics relative to thermal management. Not to mention manufacturing process description and design iteration philosophy. The same goes for part one and three.
Thanks for both of you (Elon and Tim). 😁👍
Elon is there now
To think he has that for spacex....then Tesla ...then neuarlink...boring....and now twitter 😮
mainstream media would never have an interviewer or host with this much knowledge on the thing they're covering. this is why youtubers are the future. Tim, you're doing a great job.
They would have some young attractive wanna-be with sparse knowledge of spaceflight ofc... 'but a burning desire to be seen'.
Mainstream media can't be trusted to not edit later out of context comments, or just put their own spin on it all like they know better.
Elon knows he can do a candid interview with Tim, its funny to see in his eyes "should I have revealed that"
@@Dug6666666 to them, it’s all about making money
Agree. To even understand what they are talking about in this video you need to have quite a lot of knowledge on SpaceX and rockets in general. Pretty much all my knowledge is from watching Tim's videos.
Mainstream media already frames all their failures lol. They have a thing against Elon and SpaceX. When SN8 crashed the headlines were “SpaceX Rocket Comes Crashing into the Ground in Wild Failure” or something along those lines, when it literally was just a test in part of the development process.
One thing I really appreciate about Elon is that he's not afraid to say "I don't know".
Deez nuts
This is key to his success.
You can't learn without admitting you don't know.
You mean like @6:35 when he completely doesn’t even answer the question and then moves on hahaha
That’s like, THE thing.
Fantastic interview.
Man, you see the pictures about the size of this rocket, but nothing really brings it home like watching a human walking next to the parts. Absolutely incredible
I have watched this several times through and 2 things stand out…. #1 it’s unbelievable how much more I glean from one time as opposed to another #2 Tim’s style so works with Elon like nobody else…. Tim gives Elon time to think, time to let his mind wander but also has a feel when it is time to help him move through his thought. So very good.
I had a moment right in the middle of this where I was hanging off every word: This sort of content could never have existed in the traditional world of broadcast TV. I feel I'm living the future in so many ways.
Some of the best content anywhere on the internet... superb Tim and EA! Thank you to Elon Musk and SpaceX for being so open with things.
word
Haha, real Journalist would see straight though elons bs.
@@Leoappeared There is always a hater.
it is gripping how raw and honest it is, imo!
This comment is for all the people who will watch this video in 20+ years. Yes, we are truly privileged to witness Elon Musk during his prime.
Like watching Michael Jordan or Tom Brady in sports.
Yes
Salute from South Africa 🇿🇦
Lol. No, we're witnessing a rich spokesman relay the intelligence of a huge team of engineers and scientists.
@@Studio23Media Snarky and inaccurate.
what a unique mind and character elon has.and sometimes it seems like his mind is chaotic.noone can posiibly imagine whats goin on in there.when tim asked about what keeps him up at night,literaly silence for 11 seconds and then im sorry?. wow he must be processing stuff nonstop.what a legend
It's like listening to people have a conversation in Japanese. I have no idea what they're talking about but it sounds pretty neat
This is one of those days when TH-cam still makes complete sense. What a wonderful way to spend an hour - roll on part 3.
Agreed. Videos like these make me love TH-cam 😄
Eell said, Mike. Couldn't agree more.
Elon tweets, - happy to do another factory tour in a month or two...
I'm thinking - please be a regular thing, please be a regular thing, please be a regular thing!! :))
TH-cam is great it’s Google and regulators that’s the problem
As long as they stop the Censorship!
Elon loves talking to people who understand what he's talking about and because of that he'll give you way more than what you asked for. This is freaking awesome
He's the only person who can rescue america from this service nightmare slavery
And create a new economy in jobs that matter.
space travel exploration science medicine manufacturing space rockets etc moon jobs ...
in fact i remember his first interrview with everyday astronaut, and he was so surprised at the questions and remarks from him. i guess we will see many more interviews in future
this is exactly it. Good observation. He extends his talk-time when he's with someone who understands what he is talking about, and doesn't ask formulaic "reporter" type of questions.
You mean who don’t critically think and believe everything he says?
@@XxvoleistulxX Tim's question about full flow staged engine and comment about sunk cost fallacy were what got him this interview.
Super interesting to see and hear him in his element. He’s got a brilliant sense of humor. Kudos to interviewer for asking the right Qs and pushing through the Aspergie overwhelm to keep him talking.
Watching parts 1 & 2 a second time. There is something very special in this series. Wish I could express it better, but that will have to do.
Its so refreshing to have a competent interviewer asking Elon questions. Most of them ask the same worn out boring questions and you can just see him trying to dumb down the answer to normie speak. Its very pleasant to see his thoughts flowing freely and dopping knowledge nuggest at like 5 a minute.
If tim would lay off the uh hu's and yah's and let the man speak it would be great
Elon really seemed to enjoy talking shop with someone who could understand him technically and ask intelligent questions...this was Elon out for a beer with Tim...
Yeah, often when trying to make it simpler he stutters. Now he can just talk to Tim without having to worry about Tim not understanding him.
This is so true ... I was so annoyed that JoeRogan didn’t have a clue about all the mind blowing spaceX/Tesla stuff he was working on and had him on his podcast 3 times ...
Tim is giving Elon feedback that he is being understood. By encouraging him to consider this as a simple conversation with a friend rather than a pronouncement to millions of fans and thousands of detractors he encourages a more candid response. And it's easy to misstime a response while walking and filming in a unique high noise environment.
This is a historical document, and I don't think that's hyperbole. Imagine if we had an interview like this with Thomas Edison, or Henry Ford. And they were completely open and honest. It's freaking amazing. I learned so much. Thank you Tim.
I hope I don’t ruin anything but I just wanted to say Thomas Edison stole inventions
History will look back on Elon Musk as one of the most important people to have ever lived. And he's just getting warmed up. I predict that one day, far, far into the future, his Roadster will be recovered from space and brought back to Earth (or if Earth is gone by then, to humanity's new home) for display as a historical artefact of great significance to humanity.
Dont get carried away here. Its mostly his dog running around and elon trying to keep from Aspergering out too hard
@@kirkc9643 earth wont be gone by then, terraforming a new world is a million times harder than solving even the worst case climate change
Elon will go down in history books for colonizing a planet. We have come a long way!
Probably one of the best "interviews" being made to Elon that I've watched. Asking real things and not stupid questions. Thank you for that.
Probably only series of videos on YT, where majority ( like me) have no knowledge of space and rocketry but still watch them for no other reason then the insane effort put by one men for the betterment of human and humanity 👏
I like how elon choose tim for this Interview over everyone else that would pay any price to be there. It was the right choice. Tim for dear moon, I hope yall agree with me
Exactly. Tim actually let's Elon think and respond, shows Elon at his best. Let's the silence happen
Actually, Elon did interviews with multiple media outlets with guided tours of the facility during this same period. I believe NBC was one of the big networks that did one. Of course, their reports suck compared to Tim's, because they're just stupid, lying Media™ "journalists" who haven't a clue what they're looking at or being told.
@@SteveKasian Reporters are expensive. Having one on payroll who is doing nothing is a waste of money. That means that almost all journalists are generalists who go from story to story, without an in-depth subject knowledge. That means that for technical subjects, they fail. Tim has spent a lot of time and money to become knowledgeable on the subject, so his interview obviously goes places the generalist can't.
Woah, hang on. I applied as well 🤣🤣🤣
@@jeffreypierson2064 If that were only the extent of it. Whilst I agree with everything you stated, I believe the actual reason Media™ "journalists" fail is because they are biased scumbags with agendas and narratives that are incongruent with truth, facts, or reality. This has been unequivocally proven to be the case, time & time again.
"Take what I am saying with a grain a salt. I am often wrong." - Elon Musk
With passion and curiosity brings humility.
THAT should be on a T-shirt!
@@Animalwon totally
Well he is wrong about nearly everything he tweets about Tesla
Super humble, especially coming from the guy who´s company´s president (Gwen Shotewell) says that Elon is always right
He may be wrong about details, from time to time, but he has the vision thing going on. Besides, that's why he hires engineers. I don't see that as humility, per se, heaven forbit false humility. I think that's the way a leader has to see things.
Love the improvisation and "casual" just another day on the job attitude of this set of videos.
This is such a great TH-cam video. Amazing!!! Keep up the good work!
“If it doesn’t blow up, you have to find a spot to store it.”
“Dry weight with or without air?”
“The one thing you can’t replace is time.”
Tim, this series is so valuable to the entire internet because we get to see what kind of man can change the world with such passion. Elon just thinks so differently. The majority of us think stuff he says is insane, but then after he explains it, it becomes the only logical way.
Its mentally soothing
well explained. i could not agree more
Those were comments that caught my ear as well, I love the way he thinks! All of these comments come from lessons learned, in life and during Starship development. "If it doesn't blow up, you have to find a place to store it", was probably not something Musk thought of before Starship.
For want of a better word without the negative connotations: ruthlessly logical.
100% Correct
"It worked before."
"Well, Russian roulette worked before." 😂
This is an amazing history log for the future Tim. Well Done Mate.
I really appreciate the high quality subtitles! Thank you!
One of the things I like most about Elon Musk is that when someone asks him a question he stops and thinks. And he takes whatever time he needs to answer.
I think that is a very good observation for all of us to take note of. If you just come out with your answer it indicates you didn't think, or must be insanely clever to think that fast. Useful interview technique perhaps. LIke, think before providing a stock answer?
I watched this in real time at the 2019 Tesla Shareholder event. Towards the end one shareholder asked about wether Tesla would be making a car that could convert to a submarine. The audience and board members noticeably chuckled and passed this off as an odd question. Elon paused, thought, then gave a detailed response in which he indicated his love for the idea, as indicated by his purchase of the James Bond Lotus “submarine” and how fun a project it would be to make that real. He then went on to answer that no, Tesla would not likely pursue that Avenue. I was amazed that he took the time to answer what was obviously an uncomfortable question for most in the room.
It really showed his humanity.
EXACTLY!

BEYOND!!!
Pew-Pew-Pew!!! 🙌🥳🎩🤟
@@pilot8766 I think i read in the Ashley Vance book about Elon he is known to be sometimes asked a question and just sit and stare for a few minutes, then suddenly answer it.
It can be hard to deal with because it would probably feel awkward, but in the end, why not?
This is amazing. the CEO takes the time to guide you around and personally explains you the most complex system ever conceived. I cannot imagine anyone except Elon Musk would ever do that. That's why we love him.
You should check out the smarter every Day one with Tory Bruno. That one is extremely impressive.
@@gyasisiaw3584 no,Hannu said he cannot imagine other than Elon Musk doing interview like this and Kevin is just breaking the good news that other space CEO has also done that before
@@gyasisiaw3584 it isn't about it being competition... It's literally just making him aware that there is another really great interview on site with a ceo about rockets.
My understanding of the reason why this was done was Elon has not had the time to do a Spacex day update in two years and Tim talked him into doing this interview as an alternate to that. So great of Elon and Tim for doing this format...
@@korona277 The Tony Bruno interview was great, but a lot more things were labeled as ITAR protected or "secret sauce" so we got less details about the design process and considerations (other than the honeycomb milling on the faring which was beautifully explained). The level of detail and explanation in this interview is amazing! It is also really neat to see the stark contrast between an established production line and a prototyping facility.
Tim, you did a great job asking questions and letting Elon work through his process. Your questions even prompted some ideas/changes. The mark of a good interviewer.
Anyone who doubts Musk and the direction he goes should see this video. It's great how natural you are with him, Tim. Awesome work. I never imagined it could be better to have a RUD instead of having to retrieve and store the ship or booster. Never before has the public had such access as something new is created.
I love how the dog marvin just randomly walks around the starbase like its his house
Every workshop needs a shop dog.
Such a good boy!
He's is three inches tall, kinda has no choice.
"It is relatively easy to go to space, but it's very hard to go to orbit" 42:45 That's a big flex on Bezos and Branson 😂
And a very fundamental truth that anyone who knows anything at all about rocketry knows.
Lol
He's correct, however.
Elon and Sir Richard get on well, it's Bezos he doesn't like but then again neither do I.
He's been saying this well before Branson and Bezos flew, I don't think it's an intentional flex
@@SteveKasian I agree
Viewing part 1 and 2 for the second time with hard jetlag, and not falling a sleep. So exiting information. Thanks for the great insights.
It is amazing that the world's wealthiest individual is so child-like in his excitement about leading edge space flight and going to Mars, not to mention a polymath. Great time to be alive and witness space history. Thanks, Tim...well done!
The way Elon pauses for a moment and shifts his eyes all over the place before an answer, you know the man deconstructs everything before replying. He admits that he's way too optimistic with his timelines but he followed that up with a good reason behind it. I have not seen a Billionaire at his status be this involved with everything that's going down.. I got so much admiration for Elon. Man is fighting hard for humanity. Nothing but Respect!
Deconstructing but also thinking about the stuff he can and can't reveal to the public.
Thinking about the best fabrication.
Or looking and thunkjng how to improve it
Fight for humanity is when with this amount of money you try to keep your own planet clean and green , not when trying to fly to dead planets.
@@mikos1986 He is already making earth a more sustainable place but that doesn't mean you can't work on space exploration at the same time.
One thing doesn't exclude the other
I’m a retired tool maker and worked with engineers for 45 years, Elon reminds me of the best ones who had the schooling but learned the most important things from the people who had to build what they designed. I also like that he has a every day Joe persona about him you would never know he is one of the richest men in the world.
He doesn’t act like the richest man in the world because it doesn’t matter to him. It’s just a byproduct of what he actually aspires to. He’s not keeping score by how much money he has. He’s keeping score by if he gets the world to use electric vehicles, or solar energy, or reusable rockets off Earth.
@@Bill_N_ATX He considers money as a tool to realize his life dreams.
@@Bill_N_ATX Unlike a certain someone who blew $500 million on a luxury yacht rather than to invest it into his own space company, and then whine about not getting contracts.
ikr. he's so involved with the nitty-gritty stuff, just wearing a tshirt, getting things done. you can tell he's really about making stuff, not about asset retention, wealth, fame, etc.
@@user-vc5rp7nf8f ya..more of an engineer than a business guy..let alone enjoying a billionaire-style luxury life..
great video! thank you for bringing this to us! I was intrigued by the conversation about escape system and by the end of it, I thought about the fact that air planes don't have an escape system in the air ( that I know of ) so he makes a good point. I really appreciate the quality content that you bring. thank you
you're interview questions are insane. He has to think about some alot which is quite impressive. I subbed
Elon: "One thing you can't recover is time." Yet Elon gave us 2.5 hours. THANK-YOU, MR. MUSK.
Elon regarding first orbital test goal: "If it takes off without blowing up the stand (and the launch site), that will be a victory. Please don't blow up on the stand." Just love his plain talk.
Tim brings Elon the best ideas and questions from millions of people on TH-cam. It's like a filtered worldwide brainstorming session I'm sure he sees the value in it.
Nah, that's not how time works. You gave 2.5 hours to TH-cam.
Elon might be an optimist when it comes to time scales, but luckilly he is a pessimist when it comes to odds of success, and hist worst case scenarios almost never plays out.
This is Elon's normal work routine. He just allowed Tim to tag along and ask questions. It probably added 30 minutes to the inspection of work progress, but Elon got to talk to someone about his passion.
Love this! He's obviously suffering from lack of sleep and a bad back, as he mentioned on Twitter, but every time he gets hooked by a question from Tim it seems like there is nothing he would like more than to answer them 😊
Man I love Tim’s passion ❤️
Elon is a tall man, deceptively so. Many tall people suffer bad backs as the world is not designed for tall people unfortunately. You can definitely tell by his movements he is suffering.
@A D I don't know. If I had a Starbase like this, it would be difficult for me to be away from it simply because all of it is so badass.
No, these are anxiety ticks. Poor Elon, he knows he had these tiks, but the video is out in internet anyway. Hard to watch.
He should slow down n take care of himself
It's so refreshing to see an "interview" with Elon that isn't asking stupid questions or attacking him. He is brilliant.
Man so impressive to see the sheer size of the operation and all parts involved. Hard to imagine all this is going to get launched into the sky.
For a man that is worth over $100 Billion, I am happy to see that he gives some of his time to explain these things to Tim and the YT community for what is essentially free. Can't get a politician to talk to anyone for less than $10k per minute.
This is customer service gold level. He knows we are like a kpop fandom for him.
@@d4rktranquility This level of transparency from him just makes me want to fanboy harder. This is one of the coolest YT vids I've seen.
@@SvSGaming I hope it'll be preserved for future generations.
Yeah fuk politicians for real
He’s only worth that much if he sells his shares and I highly doubt he’d ever do that. Success is more important to him than money.
I love how Elon is wearing a smashed cybertruck window shirt. Amazing
Ultimate boss moment there. Embracing the failure to do better
@Steve Acho
Well, that failure got so much free marketing for then Cybertruck that many people think he did it on purpose.
Brilliant interview series Tim. Truly historic. You guys are like two NBA guys playing one on one. I love the analogy about two coffee cups banging together when you asked him about the tiles. This guy is a natural treasure and his entire team. He is Nikola Tesla reincarnated
Amazing footage & interview. Elon is so open and willing to engage his rocket & space enthusiasts … so much educational info 🙏🏻
Tim Dodd, a regular Iowa guy, will one day be the "Go To" commentator when Elon lands on the Moon and again when he lands on Mars. Who else in the media has earned a personal tour of "The Garage" by the man himself? Bravo Tim. Can't wait to see where your passion brings you - and us - down the road. Well done!
I just tried to imagine Don Lemon in place of Tim… first of all, as hard as I think, I just couldn’t imagine it. And secondly, I just know it would become a total shitshow… (but what if it gets swallowed by a black hole Elon!?)
He worked hard, he deserve to be the choosen one.
Actually, Elon had multiple Media™ outlets there around that time, and he did a walk-around of the plant, answering questions. Of course, their interviews sucked compared to Tim's, but they did get invites.
Tim's access to Elon could very well get him into lunar orbit.
I think Tim has a real passion for educating, which has led to his self education. Truly admirable quality to have.
i'm always impressed that even though he's the top 3 richest person in the U.S., he's still so chill, accessible and so involved with his companies. almost every other millionaire at his level would be wearing a thousand-dollar suit, surrounded by 50 bodyguards, and granting interviews only to exclusive tv stations.
Because Tim,
a) knows his stuff, can talk the talk;
b) isn't in "attack dog" journalism mode.
In the world*
*billionaire
Elon is not particularly "Liquid".
His stock options are worth multi billions, but he is not liquidating that stock to party on.
And he is not in it for money.
autism helps :P
Hats off to you for asking some great questions. You really had him thinking, and even had him thinking of monitoring systems to monitor failures were he hadn't previously thought of.
"If I wasn't optimistic, I wouldn't be doing the crazy stuff I've been doing..."
Elon Musk, the man who won't die till he's on another planet. Hell of a time to be alive
Elon’s the most impactful person of our time. He will be in the history books.
Well said, Grace. Couldn't agree more.
I agree hope I can someday meet this amazing person
@@austinskylines Likewise. I would love to meet him, if even for just a couple of minutes.
Agree, most impactful narcissistic conman of our time.
@@dant4071 hahah you mad?
Elon is so humble and simple. A great inspiration. He spent over 5 hrs to explain to a youtuber. My local politician cant even have 10 mins for an interview with a youtuber
So true.
If you think Elon musk is ”humble” you need to do some research on him
THANK YOU... Everyday Astronaut and Mr. Elon Musk !!!
You both magically made a complex subject so easy to understand. Every single word you both expressed made me want to hear more and more.
I found the subject FASCINATING and learned a tremendous amount of information about rockets.
By the way, GREAT chemistry between the two of you !!!
Thanks for the time stamps Everyday Astronaut.
Thank you Mission Directors !!!
None of us would have had ever witnessed a ‘rocket factory’. It’s so awesome and mesmerising to witness big dreams taking shape. We were always told ‘it’s rocket science’ to make other person believe that he or she can not comprehend a subject. Here we’ve Ellon, not only giving access to Starbase but flawless explaining a complex set of systems in simpler & digestible capsules; he brilliantly displayed his true belief in Feynman technique. ‘First build the Rocket and then factory around it’ - No one would ever have done that. Perhaps, people like Elon represent next stage in evolution of Homo Sapiens. Learnt a lot of rocket terminology. Stunning job by Tim, who seems to be well versed with Rocket language. Btw, I adore Marvin, little guy is always around Elon; name an Engine after him.
It’s dark outside and he’s still working giving an interview. He really doesn’t stop.
Hope he's looking after of his health tho :/
that doesnt mean anything. it was like 7-8 at night. not like 2am. its not uncommon for people to still work when the sun goes down. this is what separates YOU from all of the ultra successful. they all work non stop 24/7
@@DanRustle You do the work that is there, but not all work benefits from long hours. Resting when appropriate is also necessary for productivity.
@@DanRustle it's summer so sunsets are super late
@@DanRustle What a dumb comment. I mean really dumb! They don't work non stop 24/7 and there are many ultra successful people who work regular hours.
This is historical footage, nothing less.
Yes. Support you 100%
Amazing minds moving our civilization forward having all resorses for that.
It’s amazing seeing a great mind work without bias or worry about typical stressors regarding failure
Thanks for making these awesome videos, Tim!
Credit for Tim for: 1) Getting this tour with Elon himself as your guide; 2) Asking intelligent and relevant questions so much so that Elon seems to be enjoying this interview; 3) Leading the questions in the right directions and even giving good suggestions; and 4) not feeling too small by this man's intellect.
Tim's questions are no doubt intelligent but he borderline interrupts ???
maybe its just me.
Tamara diane hagan made me my financial freedom trading on Tesla stocks with her signal
*United rentals:* how many lifts do you want?
*Elon:* YES.
😂😂😂
They're currently fueling the Texas lift and crane industry lol
Gotta collect 'em all!
Buy two cranes and we'll give you extra beeps for free!
Stop spreading this stupid meme.
He is so cute and when he explains what he loves to do I see a twinkle in his eyes his happy place and he gets so excited with his words his heart takes over! Thanks for showing us everything so cool‼️💗✨

I just love it how the conversation goes. Looks like he's really thinking some of Tim's comments over. Then how the workers tell their boss and one of the richest men in the world 'Hey, move over'. Then how he texts his heatshield guy over something he saw. Also a sugestion, use helmets.
Lol!
Helmets in such places are overrated,
for example in construction they help, if a small tool or part of a brick falls down, in a factory, if a 10 kg part falls from 3 meters, helemt or no helmet your head is mush
@@valentinpetrovitsch9406 They have small tools and parts at those places too you know. xD
lol "heat shield guy". elon does love his heat tiles
Haha. What exact part is when the workers asked Elon to move over? Can't watch right now I'm waiting for part 3 and watch it in a big TV.
Having you interview him has to be great for Elon too. As he does not need to spend a lot of time answering poorly conceived questions from an uneducated reporter. Thank you Tim for what you do!
To be fair, there are some reporters that ask good questions too.
Leo Enright from Irish Television or Marcia Dunn from the Associated Press come to mind..
This was such a nice walkthrough of the compound, and all the knowledge that Elon has about rockets is astonishing. Wow, if anybody can get us to another planet, it surely must be him. Let us prey that he keeps his health and drive for the years to come. We all need him to help us set the way into the future.
Elon Musk is incredibly a great person , too sincere and always concerned to every small detail of the work he does. He is raising the bar but definitely a visionary and an achiever.
Jeez, after watching these vids, I don't know how anyone can say that Elon is a figurehead, or dilettante. He knows a lot about a lot.
There was somebody who asked him in an interview who the chief engineer was (implying they must be very skilled) and they laughed when he said that he was, so they asked "yeah but who signs off..." and he said "me". He is very talented as far as engineer/businessmen/billionaires go, and surprisingly in touch with reality.
I believe he's the lead engineer if I'm not mistaken.
haha yeah exactly. I'd like to see Jeff Bezos or Richard Branson explain their rockets.
Great of thinking Elon, love your thought.
"Everybody has dirty laundry, it's just that ours is out for everyone to see."
I’m sure Blue Origin is working on an info graphic about how much better their dirty laundry is than everyone else’s.
@@Idontevenlikehotdogs make that curated dirty laundry selected to fit the color scheme
Meanwhile Bezos is trying how to show case this dirty laundry to press & congress instead of focusing on moon 🌘 work.
Bezos is not some evil mastermind, they both have the same goal which is saving humanity, one just does it objectively better for now at least
@@ImpaledBerry evidence says otherwise
What a fantastic interview. You are great at asking questions that get Elon to describe the technical details. I am glad people like you exist!
Elon is the man.. You can tell he is trying to explain things so even are simple minds can understand it somewhat. I love what he is doing for space exploration and technology.
Tim, the fact that you can hold a 3 hour conversation with one of the most brilliant minds currently behind space exploration is insanely impressive.
2.3hr
what do you think Elon does for 24h
Splendid conversation, very impressive.
as in like you only spoke for him for 2.3 hours and he thinks for 24h
The knowledge Elon has and the fact that he is so involved with his company is second to none! It is insane that he self-taught himself literal rocket science, and nowq he's leading humanity's space exploration.
it’s pretty easy friend, to teach yourself. rocket science especially
@@TheArtofFugue how bro
I forget his name but there's a NASA scientist that never went to college and totally self taught with value through the roof
@@TheArtofFugue it might be easy to understand the basic concepts
But if you wanna learn the math, and the complicated topics, it will take you years
@@vablo7198 no, when he started SpaceX, he taught himself rocket science by reading books
Which most people can't do....
Honor thy tribe. 🙏🤓
This 3 hour access proves that.
Both connect at a whole another level no common reporter would have ever!
The TH-cam guy got him thinking about an improvement that he hadn't thought of, good for u
I really respect Elon, he is actually interested in what is going on around him and what his company is doing rather than just getting money out of it. He does not have a huge ego when talking about himself 37:55 "Take a lot of what I am saying with a grain of salt because I often am wrong. He seems like a good role model for how CEOs should look at and treat their businesses.
I agree!
In this respect, he is SUCH a breath of fresh air. I've had managers that admit mistakes and take responsibility, but I've never worked anywhere where anyone on the executive team admits they are wrong. They always hedge or spin to make it seem like they were always right all along which is really kind of gross and pathological. I don't agree with him on everything but I'd love to work for Elon tbh.
@@KatharineOsborne Well theres probably a giant line who wants to work for elon companies. The good thing about that is they can be picky and only take the best applicants. Youre right someone like elon attracts good people. Most ceos or top board members threw everyone they knew under the bus to get to where they are. Which is sad.
You mean like actually being involved in the production with all the knowledge, and not spending money on lobbyists to make sure they win government contracts or put on a show that they can go to space (not orbit, mind you) while not focusing on completing and delivering a product they said they were going to deliver back in 2017.
Yeah.
Breath of fresh air.
I think SpaceX is costing him more than he is making, and thats the difference. SpaceX is not a cash cow to him, it is a vehicle to achieve a dream.
Its insane to see Elon talk about his projects to passionately and have so much knowledge of it. He doesnt need his team to back him up to answer the questions. He's a true gamechanger on so many levels.
He definitely has a different alien type of passion for space and evolving the planet
This is fantastic thank you both!
I was on the fence about Elon, but watching these videos has really made me grow fond of him.
Elon is the role model for the next generation of engineers. Both Tesla and SpaceX are two top companies engineering students dream about. Stand by for a massive shift in the engineering culture. It may not happen overnight, but it is slowly happening right before our eyes. This is yet another thing Elon is changing for the better.
All it took was for a brilliant engineer to become a billionaire AND still have a passion for engineering.
Had a guy telling me how Apple and VW keeps stealing engineers from Tesla. I had to laugh at him. Yes, they go to Tesla and SpaceX to do amazing things, then they go to Apple and VW to get paid to explain how far behind they are! lmao
This was so cool. As a guy who thinks before he speaks when after accuracy, and as a guy who has worked with a lot of coders who do the exact same thing, Elon sounds just like lots of people I've spoken to. The comments that he sounds like a robot doesn't fit in my head. He just sounds like a guy who doesn't like to answer inaccurately. I respect that. Great work too Tim.
I so fully agree... I'd be much more worried if he talked quickly without any pauses.
People who talk without thought are a large risk.
People don’t realize it’s because he *thinks* before he speaks. A lot of people could really try it out.
THATS BECAUSE HE HAS A BRAIN CHIP, LATENCY IS CAUSED BY THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE SIGNAL TO REACH AND COME BACK FROM STARLINK CONSTELLATION AND BRINGING BACK THE RELEVANT INFORMATION FROM THE BACKUP SERVERS.
could be accelerated with a quantum processor in my humble opinion.
I wonder if China and Russia are watching this video to dissect the tech and operation too. lol I'm glad more countries are taking this seriously, humanity need to unite in space.
Videos like these is why I never even consider uninstalling TH-cam, while I constantly reconsider the benefit of using other platforms
Awesome tour, great access, incredible progress.
Imagine this in a decade. That people are watching this series back about learning to understand rocket science or just how nostalgic it got. Thanks Elon and Tim!
Definitely gonna archive this for posterity
Yeah man one of those few videos
"I think it's important for people to appreciate there is a gigantic difference in getting to orbit vs getting to space"
And what exactly is the difference?
Jeff who?
@@georgecarlin2656 You need alot more speed and thrust to get into orbit. Also when you just want to go to space, just fly straight up, but when you want to get into orbit you need to fly at an angle, get the right amount of thrust, etc.
@@PetardeWoez so orbit is the same as space with the extra requirement to follow, in our case, along our planet's trajectory..?
@@georgecarlin2656 Yeah pretty much. Just like the moon orbits the earth, but at a closer distance.
Love how Elon explains everything so the anyone can understand how he goes about designing
Absolutely the best interview with this genius of a man. Great video. Hello from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia,.Canada
The man is genius he's not a poser he knows the subject of rocketry wow.
The best thing about this comment, is that you could mean this toward either Elon OR Tim, and it applies either way 😅 I’ve continually been impressed with Tim’s knowledge of basically all rocket science, considering atleast some of it has to be self-taught, or taking it upon himself to research and learn specifics on these rockets.
Elon is the patron saint of slightly awkward dudes. Truly impressive.
Jeff who???
You know it's a quality interview when it's basically a one-shot. Hardly any editing, just great questions and even better, completely uncut answers. Really appreciate this format.
Some of the awkward silences were edited out. Also interview started when sun was still out to pitch darkness, Elon most likely missed time with his family for the interview.
There are a few cuts. Elon would not have taken this interview if he didn't want to. The timeframe was probably agreed upon. This is not just for TH-cam viewers. This is to get information out there, to recruit new talent from the top colleges and universities. And to find these types of people who maybe never went to school. It also informs Investors of what he is doing and shows what their money is going toward.
Amazing stuff! Loved it.
Just two dudes walking around talking about rockets just an awesome video Thanks to both of you
