Sort of amazing that the key to solving cost bloat is just yelling about it, over and over again, and berating your employees until they figure something out

startups vs incumbents in one story

Strong leadership, decisiveness, no excuses, a belief in what you’re doing, great compensation, and motivation…. Anything can be done with that recipe and SpaceX has it in their DNA.

This, and the post before, are amazing to hear. I wish we knew more about what goes on inside SpaceX.

Sounds like they cut a lot of corners to save money

This is wild and amazing and wonderful! I’m loving reading about how Elon MAKES STUFF HAPPEN.

Now, that is mental.. didn’t know about this. just shows how much resolve, grit and creativity matters. Thanks for sharing. This is all inspirational stuff for the workforce out there.

the twitter purchase is extra funny just because elon is very tight fisted

I'm sure NASA also built the tower for $20M (or less, since they aren't actually flying anywhere) and money laundered the rest of the $3B

Elon's cost target was $20 million, but did SpaceX actually achieve that? It could perhaps have been $40 million all told (I do not know). I am confident that the cost was still much lower than traditional companies, of course
