Immersive Language Reading on Twigit
what what do you allocate most of your time to?
My time is mostly split uh well
between SpaceX and and Tesla. And of of
course I I try to spend um uh part of
every week at OpenAI. Um so I spend most

What do you do when you're at SpaceX or Tesla?
Like what does your time look like there?
Uh, yeah. So, it's a good question.
Um, I think a lot of people think I I must spend a lot of
time with media or or on businessy things,
but actually almost almost all my time like 80% of it is spent on
engineering design engineering and design.
So it's um developing next generation
product that's 80% of it. Um you
probably don't remember this a very long time ago.
Many many years you took me on a tour of SpaceX and the most impressive thing was that you knew every detail
of the rocket and every piece of engineering that went into it.
Uh and I don't think many people get that about you.
Yeah. I think a lot of people think I'm kind of a business person or something which is fine.
like business is fine but um like I uh but really it's
you know it's like it's SpaceX uh Gwen Shotwell is chief operating officer she kind of manages um uh legal finance um
sales um and kind of general business activity
and then my time is almost entirely with the uh engineering team
working on improving our the Falcon 9 and the Dragon spacecraft and developing
the Mars colonial architecture. Um and
then at Tesla it's working on the Model 3 and the you know some in the design studio typically
um have a day a week um dealing with aesthetics and and uh look and feel things and and then most the rest of the week
is just going through engineering of of of the car itself as well as engineering of the the factory.
