A conversation with Elon Musk about Starship

After Elon Musk gave his presentation about the progress of SpaceX's Starship program, I had the opportunity to pick his brain just a little. In general I wanted to let him talk a lot and see where his mind went, but luckily for us aerospace enthusiasts, I got a little juicy extra bit of conversation at the end.

This is probably one of Elon's all-time best interviews. I think he was happy to speak to someone who had a very obvious understanding of his projects. The fact he came back and showed you pictures on his phone. Amazing. This did not even feel like an interview, it felt more like two friends running into each other catching up.

When someone pulls out his phone to show you pic's, you know you've achieved a next-level relationship.

Elon: finally an interviewer who speaks English..

You can really appreciate how hard he tries to connect with humans

Everyday astronaut: "Thanks for your time."

Musk: "I'm not done"

Seriously, when it comes to interviews like this, raw footage and extreme nerdery is 100% what we love to see. Shaky cam? Bad audio? Wonky framing? Don't care. The Full Elon Brain Dump was worth it. Thanks for posting the whole video.

12:02 Elon didn’t want to end the conversation 🥺

They said more smart things in 17 minutes then I’ve said in 22 years.

Elon finally gets to talk to someone who understand what he's talking about. This interview is soooo good.

I love Elons face when he realizes Tim is actually an interviewer who knows the basic tech. He seems so reliefed and happy.
I don't think big media will ever get an Elon Musk who forgets the time and keeps on nerding out with you. That's something special.

[BMarie]

A interviewer who A. Knows what he’s talking about, B. Knows what Elon is talking about, and C. Let’s Elon talk? No wonder he appreciated it and wanted to talk more.

I've never seen Elon got so excited like this on interview, and I can't stop smiling watching this video, so inspiring!

[dereksgc]

Tim: "one more question"
Me: *looks at video bar, still half left* "oh yeah, one question"

[FinalGlideAus]

The look on Elon’s face and his passion just inspires me like nothing else.

[chadcarr]

You can tell Elon knows he understands. The expression and passion on Elon’s face says everything

[jackslux]

You can tell when Elon got excited after figuring out he's talking to a guy who knows everything about rockets

[nttx]

Tim: "One last qustion"
Elon: *goes for 10 minutes nonstop*
I love those guys enthusiasm.

[KZ-huuj]

The moment Elon is interested in a conversation he uncrosses his arms and starts moving his hands around. I love that

[danazavala]

Every time elon speaks it sounds like he’s from the future trying not to say anything that can create a paradox 😂
