  • 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.
  • @BRUXXUS
    One thing I really appreciate about Elon is that he's not afraid to say "I don't know".
  • @mtempp
    “Take this with a grain of salt because I often am wrong” -Elon Musk A refreshing dose of humility from a brilliant person.
  • @KenOtwell
    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.
  • @joaobettu
    You gotta admire the fact that SpaceX stacked B4 and S20 before Tim could finish editing these videos 🤣
  • @skraminc
    "starship doesn't have people on board; so we can blow things up. that's very helpful" - what a legend
  • @ajdavis98775
    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
  • @cobra1010
    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!
  • @woomba7
    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
  • @mgutkowski
    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.
  • @kennguyen8038
    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.
  • 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). 😁👍
  • @heyedddie
    "It worked before." "Well, Russian roulette worked before." 😂
  • @janves
    "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 😂
  • @ddview3067
    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.
  • @onerimeuse
    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
  • @pit5000
    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.
  • @SlayerBG93
    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.
  • @antonis-theoha
    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
  • @jhouse770
    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!
