I worked at SpaceX on an internship working on the Starship program. I (unfortunately) interacted with Elon Musk on a semi-regular basis. AMA.

like the text said, worked in Hawthorne on the propulsion team for starship.

    Unfortunately? Its a shame you cant see past your politics, and appreciate the fact that you got to interact with one of the greatest autists in history.

    Did you sign an NDA for your internship? Are you worried that breaking it here will tank your career trajectory? Or are you karma farming and doing a performative act of “politics”?

    like the other poster said – too bad you couldn’t get over your pathetic narrow view of the political lens to truly appreciate a golden opportunity.

    I hope this is fake – but I hope MORE it is real and you violate your NDA and tank your career  Maybe then you, and people like you, will realize politics is not an end game – and not a single one of them gives a shit about you.

    Do you prefer the NASA approach to development or the spaceX approach?

    How much longer do you think the rocket age of chemical combustion will last? Do you think we are on the brink of a newer propulsion?

    Everyone has some good qualities, even if there otherwise a steaming pile of poop. What’s a positive you’ll take away from your time at SpaceX?

    I used to have a pretty good opinion of Musk back when I knew little of him, and the more I learned the more I was put off.

    What was your trajectory with respect to your opinion of him while working there?

    An intern is not regularly interacting with the CEO…

    What are things that you’ve seen upset Elon the most?

    As he is from South Africa, do south Africans working at SpaceX try to bond with him? I feel like he would ignore it.
