1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,400 Hey, everybody, welcome back to the show. 2 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,000 I want to tell you about some major drama that's happening at 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,440 Star Base right now, because we all know what's happening with 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,240 Elon Musk, all of his political stuff going on, all of the stuff 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,880 that's going on with those or whatever. 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,120 But one of the things that he's been neglecting is SpaceX and 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,480 being at Star Base. And we've all seen this before. 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,240 He's done this before. He's done this numerous times 9 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:28,440 where he goes off and does another project. 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,240 You know, he'll go it go to Tesla for a few months and 11 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,680 everybody at Starbase is working hard and they're trying to get 12 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,280 the next Starship to launch. And then Elon shows up to give 13 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,560 him a little pep talk and then everything seems to be OK. 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,160 But I want to share with you something that I found on X, and 15 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,920 this is telling. This is huge for people at 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,360 SpaceX. Check this out. 17 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,400 So Dylan Small is a person that works at SpaceX, at Starbase. 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,640 OK, Dylan is part of the team down there, and this is his 19 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,520 tweet. The team down at Starbase is 20 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,440 giving everything they have, working long hours, pouring 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,440 themselves into every launch, every milestone. 22 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,640 But the atmosphere had shifted. Morale is low, people are burned 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,640 out and starting to feel like they're being left behind. 24 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,880 Your presence used to drive a fire in the team. 25 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,840 People were inspired, united and proud to be part of something 26 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,080 bigger. Now the energy is fading. 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,160 People come back and walk, or please come back and walk the 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,920 floor. Talk to the techs, the welders, 29 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,520 the crane OPS, QA, inspectors. Let them see their work matters 30 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,120 to you. Remind them what we're building 31 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,000 and why. Hear what they have to say and 32 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,400 show them that you do care. Everyone still believes in the 33 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,040 mission. They need you to help reignite 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,280 the spark. There are many matters that need 35 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:59,520 your attention to Mars. So directly at Elon Musk. 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,800 This this tweet was directly at Elon Musk. 37 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,400 Dylan is the Space Launch Systems R&D aircraft mechanic at 38 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,800 Starbase for SpaceX for Starship. 39 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,280 So Dylan is legit. You can see a picture of Dylan 40 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:21,160 at Starship. Listen, Elon Musk has a lot of 41 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,960 things going on. We all know what's going on, 42 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,800 political stuff going on, and that's all over with. 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,160 That's all behind of the political stuff. 44 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,960 But that was costly to the people that pour their hearts 45 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,880 into Starship and pour their hearts into this project that 46 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,640 will, according to Elon Musk, keep the light of humanity lit 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,880 when it doesn't exist here on earth anymore. 48 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,760 So what does a good leader do at this point? 49 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,280 Do they ignore this person? Do they walk away and let 50 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,040 somebody else handle it? This is what Elon responded. 51 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,280 I will be there next week. There you go. 52 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:08,720 Everything seems to be OK. And also, Elon will be doing a 53 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,640 talk before the next Starship launch, which is going to be 54 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:24,200 somewhere on May 21st, 2025, between 2330 and 134Z. 55 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,960 On May 22nd, 2025, rocket launch operations are scheduled to take 56 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:33,280 place near Boca Chica, Texas. So we know somewhere around the 57 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,360 21st, 22nd of this month SpaceX will be launching Starship. 58 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,400 So around the 19th, 20th, we're going to get a talk from Elon on 59 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,480 X from Starbase. He's going to ignite the fire at 60 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,680 Starbase again. He's going to lift these people 61 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,920 up that feel like they've been beaten down. 62 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,640 They're working hard. It's really hot down there. 63 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,000 And they put their heart and their soul into this project. 64 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,120 And this is years in the making. Some of the peaceful have been 65 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,080 here for a decade. They've been here for their 66 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,160 whole career. And Elon had a side project with 67 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,040 Doge. He left him behind. 68 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,000 Let me know what you think about that. 69 00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:18,839 You think it's a like a bad move to leave all these people 70 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,720 behind? Because getting to Mars for Elon 71 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,080 has always been like the top priority. 72 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,600 That's always been the thing he's been working on forever. 73 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,640 And that was keep the light of consciousness alive, keep it 74 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,720 going. And then he got sidetracked by 75 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,680 this Doge stuff. I thought he can make a 76 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,920 difference. Let me know what you think of 77 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,520 the comments down below about him working with Dylan Small and 78 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,760 the team over there at Starbase and coming back to say what he 79 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,280 needs to say to reignite the fire with all these people. 80 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,120 Also, you know what, I was checking out the stats and the 81 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,520 back end here on YouTube and I noticed something really weird 82 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:06,120 that around 57% of you are not subscribed to the channel. 83 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,120 So that leaves 43% of you that are subscribed. 84 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,360 And I want to say thank you to you for doing that. 85 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,120 But the 57% of you, most of you also have watched numerous of my 86 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,640 videos. So I'm going to make you a 87 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,600 promise for the next 10 years. You got me here on YouTube for 88 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,200 free. You got 10 years of this and if 89 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,360 you like this content, I ask you for one second of your time. 90 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,880 That's it. One second for 10 years of mine. 91 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,880 Hit the subscribe button, that's it. 92 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,680 If you want to give 2 seconds, hit the thumbs up, give a couple 93 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,320 more seconds. Leave a comment down below. 94 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,400 That's it for engagement. Let's grow this channel 95 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,680 together. Let's be this community. 96 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,160 But I just asked for one second of your time for 10 years of 97 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,560 mine. So let's get back to the Elon 98 00:05:52,560 --> 00:06:00,400 stuff. OK, so Elon has a way of dipping 99 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,280 out sometimes. He has so many things going on. 100 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,040 He may have to work on Cybertruck for a little while. 101 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,880 He may have to work on another project for a while, like the 102 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,040 Doge stuff. Maybe he has Starbase going on 103 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,400 and he can't work on the Tesla stuff. 104 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,880 He's a Tesla CEO. People are not happy with him 105 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,040 because of all the Doge stuff and all the political stuff. 106 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,480 And at one point they were actually thinking about 107 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,240 replacing Elon. There were rumors about people 108 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,360 replacing Elon at Tesla. They can't really do that at 109 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,120 Starbase or with SpaceX because it's a privately held company. 110 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:42,520 They can't really force him out. But Tesla is a different beast 111 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,040 because they're publicly traded. They're not privately owned. 112 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,040 So they have stock, they have a board. 113 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,400 Could they force him out? Not that I know of. 114 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,000 Not that I know of. There's a possibility, but I 115 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,160 don't think they're going to, especially with where he's at 116 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,480 now and where the company is now. 117 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,040 But something like SpaceX, if something's happening at SpaceX, 118 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,600 I mean it, it seems like the people at SpaceX should be able 119 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,400 to reach out to Elon, not an X man. 120 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:24,280 Like somebody should text this guy or like, like directs line 121 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,560 of communication. So that's where it all falls 122 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,440 apart. There's no Direct Line of 123 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,040 communication between Elon and the workers because there's 124 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,920 nobody in between. That's talking to the workers 125 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,880 and listening. That's the important part. 126 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,600 Listen to these people, man. OK? 127 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,040 They work for you, but still they're making your vision come 128 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,240 to reality. They're working their asses off. 129 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,000 They're destroying their lives because they want to make people 130 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,560 go to Mars. They want to build this ship and 131 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,240 they want to get people to Mars. Get your asses to Mars, but 132 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,040 please be nice to people at Star Base. 133 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,320 That's what needs to happen. Somebody in the management 134 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,640 structure is not doing their job because they're not telling 135 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,000 Elon. They're not telling Elon that 136 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,280 this stuff needs to be fixed. These people's morale. 137 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,840 Think about it. If you are building the ship 138 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,400 that's going to send people to Mars, how much confidence would 139 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,840 you have in your abilities? You're doing something nobody 140 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,360 else is doing. You're like way up here. 141 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,240 You're the best of the best, and you still get beaten down. 142 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,200 And then you feel like you don't have anybody to talk to that 143 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,400 could tell Elon or somebody higher up. 144 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,280 So there's a break. There's a break somewhere. 145 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,640 There's something that's stopping people from the workers 146 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,200 like Dylan here that are working at Starbase. 147 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,800 They can't talk to somebody. So there's something going on 148 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,920 there that they're not talking about. 149 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,600 They don't feel powerful enough in their in their positions 150 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,760 where they can talk to somebody a little bit higher up than them 151 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,160 and be like, hey man, we're beaten down, we're broken. 152 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,800 Or maybe they did and then, you know, all right, going to give 153 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:24,240 this a shot again, lol. Dylan, Dylan says again, why do 154 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,720 you have to do it again? Why wasn't it fixed the first 155 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,080 time? You know, it seems like this is 156 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:38,960 where either the company can shift from people that love what 157 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,080 they do and they absolutely love what they do down there. 158 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,520 People love what they do down there. 159 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:48,840 They are the best of in the world at this and they love what 160 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,280 they do, but are they willing to make that sacrifice if they're 161 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,400 not being treated well? Your presence used to drive a 162 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,840 fire in the team. And we all remember this, right? 163 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,600 You and me, we, you and me, we remember this Elon, back in the 164 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,960 day when he would go on every podcast, every show, every talk 165 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,160 that he did was about Starship, everything. 166 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,640 It was like Tesla, Starship, etcetera. 167 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:30,040 And the talks that he would give started becoming pretty normal. 168 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,720 He would say the same thing every time and it would turn out 169 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,320 to be just very standard, you know? 170 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,640 And these talks at star base, they need to happen more often 171 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,560 just for the team, not us. Like we don't matter really. 172 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,520 You know, the team is the those are the people that are going to 173 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,440 send people to Mars. So they matter. 174 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,160 Talk to them. So let me know what you think in 175 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,280 the comments. I'm getting riled up here. 176 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,120 I just think people like this don't get don't take advantage 177 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,520 of people like Dylan. Dylan, I got your back, bro. 178 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,960 I got your back. I'm sure everybody else that's 179 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,160 watching this has your back too.
