Musk on Starship: 'I specialize in going from the impossible to the merely late'
elonmusk · x · 2026-11-03
Elon Musk retweeted a clip reflecting on how Starship got built. He recalled that when the project was first proposed, people considered it impossible — even inside SpaceX — and the idea had what he calls a "giggle factor": people literally laughed at it.
His self-assessment became the quote of the day: "I guess I specialize in going from the impossible to the merely late. So that's my skill." It wasn't possible; now it's just late.
