Which is a problem because it has no like/comment functionality that can (theoretically) filter false/exaggerated advertisement.
On the other hand, which media platform is actually not an advertisement platform? That's a whole another debate.

Came here to post that video. Awesome! My favorite part: Elon's 5-Step Design/Development Process: (1) Fix "Dumb" Requirements (2) Remove Unnecessary Parts/Processes (3) Simplify/Optimize (4) Speed Up Cycle Time (5) Automate
Two things I took from that interview: * the quip about people spending a lot of time to optimize something unnecessary, * the quip that you must be wary about recommendations made by smart people, because you will tend to trust smart people too much and they can still make mistakes.
Also leadership by storytelling. Don't say what you want, tell a story that shows people what you want, so they can envision themselves doing what you want.
The recent interview of Elon by Tim Dodd is probably more informative and interesting this this could ever be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t705r8ICkRw

You are off by a factor of 3... it is $46k a minute, there are 4320 minutes in 3 days.
You are right, sorry... Still not cheap though.
"The privately chartered flight will be commanded, funded and led by 38-year-old billionaire Jared Isaacman, and aim to support St Jude Children's Research Hospital." Um. Wow. Lots odd there. How can a charted flight be "commanded"? Are they renting the spacecraft or chartering a flight? How does this support the hospital? Is this a stunt to gather donations? I applaud billionaires who do cool stuff. I say have fun.…
How can a charted flight be "commanded"? I looked into this previously, so Jared Isaacman not only is a billionaire from a payments gateway startup he founded, he also is the biggest private owner of military jets and owns a company that actually trains pilots for the USAF, USNavy and foreign airforces. He is a very accomplished pilot from what I gather. (He's 38 btw, so kudos to him) So, while the Dragon capsule is…
She'll be the "medical officer", which I'm not sure is a civilian title or crew one.
Lots of "survivors can do anything" PR, plus there's an angle that space x is making space travel safe/common enough that you don't need to be medically perfect to qualify (she still has some sort of prosthesis from her treatment).
It's a pretty brilliant PR campaign all around.
She'll also become the youngest person ever to fly to space.

Awesome video and thanks for the list, I was just going to write that down and you saved me a job.
> Musk overviewed his five step engineering process, which must be completed in order:
> 1. Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are definitely dumb; it does not matter who gave them to you. He notes that it’s particularly dangerous if someone who is smart gives them the requirements, as one may not question the requirements enough. “Everyone’s wrong. No matter who you are, everyone is wrong some of the time.” He further notes that “all designs are wrong, it’s just a matter of how wrong.”
> 2. Try very hard to delete the part or process. If parts are not being added back into the design at least 10% of the time, not enough parts are being deleted. Musk noted that the bias tends to be very strongly toward “let’s add this part or process step in case we need it.” Additionally, each required part and process must come from a name, not a department, as a department cannot be asked why a requirement exists, but a person can.
> 3. Simplify and optimize the design. This is step three as the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize something that should not exist.
> 4. Accelerate cycle time. Musk states “you’re moving too slowly, go faster! But don’t go faster until you’ve worked on the other three things first.”
> 5. Automate. An important part of this is to remove in-process testing after the problems have been diagnosed; if a product is reaching the end of a production line with a high acceptance rate, there is no need for in-process testing.

I believe he was referring to the first step. And "Name" was really "a person" as opposed to "a department." This was his way of saying DRI all the way down to each individual requirements, to force someone to be accountable for it. His example was that SpaceX interns previously listed requirements, that were later assigned to a department (e.g. avionics), and when prompted, no one in that department really knew why it was there.
