Internet search engines have a way of affirming your hypothesis, no matter what you have hypothesized.

We don’t let 1 person control the water for 2.5 billion people.
We don’t let 1 person control electricity for 2.5 billion people.
Why do we let 1 man control the information seen by 2.5 billion people?
Facebook needs to be regulated by governments, not ruled by an emperor!

Elon, I humbly beseech you to hire @austinbarnard45 if you haven't done so already. He's got a big heart, is loyal, kind and will work his ass off for you. He went to the @spacex event yesterday.
Please 🙇🏽♂️ give him a chance.
He has all the disadvantages required for success.

Impressive, if 💯 uncurated. There aren’t many errors. Would be interesting to see how @OpenAI GPT would perform with same objective.

Tip for anyone who gets interviewed by a journalist about @elonmusk @Tesla: if you don't want to be taken out of context, make sure to say ONLY 1 thing then no matter the journalist's question, repeat THAT.
Demonstration by our Holy Brother @kimbal Musk.🙏🏼

Thanks @elonmusk for greeting me at the entrance fence 🚀 you are so nice. ❤️

You’re welcome! Was a fun recruiting event. Great to see all the excitement about helping build Starships.

Thanks for the correction and apologies for any errors, Elon! Was the SpaceX director that said "[OTS] water tower machines work really well for making rockets" wrong, in that case? Or are COTS solutions viable but only if SX tweaks them for greater precision? - @13ericralph31
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Feb 7, 2020
Unmodified water tower machines do not work well for orbital rockets, as mass efficiency is critical for the latter, but not the former. Hopper, for example, was made of 12.5mm steel vs 4mm for SN1 orbital design. Optimized skins will be <2mm in places across a 9000mm diameter.

Are the barrels in the picture above just test hardware then rather than the first pieces of SN1 coming together?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Feb 7, 2020
No, they’re SN1. SN2 to follow shortly. Aiming to be a little better each time.

What about those welding dents?? Can we avoid those from happening.?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Feb 7, 2020
Yes, we’re tuning weld parameters to reduce puckering & building a heavy duty planisher to flatten & cold work the weld area

This isn’t quite correct. An orbital rocket needs precision that’s 3X to 4X better than a water tower, so super precise parts, fixtures & welding are needed. Suborbital is much more forgiving.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Feb 7, 2020
That said, although substantial capital & engineering is required to achieve extreme precision, marginal production cost of the primary structure should actually be *less* than a water tower, because it’s built inside a factory in volume.
