ELON: I LIVED IN THE FACTORY FOR 3 YEARS STRAIGHT

“I was living in the factory in Fremont and the one in Nevada for three years straight.

It was my primary residence.

MarioNawfal/status/1806288368449335802



- peter03102.com/TFiles/#27JUN2…
But for a while there, I was just sleeping under my desk, which is out in the open in the factory, for an important reason.

So that during shift change, the entire team could see me.

They knew I was there, and that made a huge difference, and then they gave it their all.”

Erdayastronaut/status/1804534787794682081

We could build a lot more, but the next version of Raptor is really the one to scale up production.
