does he plan to sit himself down at a station with a socket wrench and some cap screws so he can show the factory dullards how it's done?

does he think he's actually an engineer and he'll go in there and say "have you tried recrystallizing the dilithium matrix" and everyone will slap their foreheads and all the problems will go away?

does he think that everyone on the line is a lazy crack smoking rear end in a top hat and when he gets in there and shows his angry face they'll all buckle down and get back to work?

does he imagine that he's such a stirring charismatic figure that his mere presence will inspire the workers to inhuman levels of heretofore-unseen productivity?

Motivates the workers to be so fast that you suddenly need to start taking wind resistance into account.

since he's "an engineer" he'll have no qualms about launching in temperatures too cold for the o-rings so the 2 week cadence can be kept up

"I work so hard and never have time off" would be more compelling if he didn't make adolescent jokes all day on Twitter. Unless you take the Matt Levine approach that his shitposting helps support the stock price and therefore is important to the company.

i still think about the time someone pulled his personal jet's flight records and found he went to some video game tourney when he claimed he was living from a factory office

"We face genuine risk of bankruptcy if we cannot achieve a Starship flight rate of at least once every two weeks next year," Musk added later.

lol. if only he had billions of dollars to put into his failing company

So this focus on production of Raptor engines elides the demand side of the "flight every two weeks" equation. Aren't they basically reliant on Starlink to generate that demand in the first place?

literally the premise for a terrible late 70s kids sf show

quote:

the show's opening sequence provides the setup of its fanciful premise: While loading food into various compartments to prepare a rocket for an upcoming mission, Barney instructs Junior to hit the "lunch" button, but Junior mistakenly hits the "launch" button. The rocket blasts off and takes them on various misadventures on alien planets.

like all lovely managers he doesn't realize that he's powerless and doesn't know how fight the deep urge that he has to DO SOMETHING. he hasn't thought of any of the above scenarios. all he knows is that he needs to DO SOMETHING

like everyone had that lovely manager on a death march project who demanded status updates every thirty minutes. of course they don't realize that they're slowing everything down. all they know is they're stressed and they have to DO SOMETHING
