This is the part that doesn't make sense to me. Look at Tesla stonk: everyone I know would gladly take a soldering iron to their fleshy undercarriage to buy SpaceX shares at nearly any price. (I'm not saying they should go public, I'm saying their actual real-world risk is dilution, not bankruptcy.)
Seems like this might just be some "c'mon guys" cheerleading to get Elon Time and Human Time to converge a bit faster.
He's said some super over-the-line shit before ("pedo guy", "S Elon's C") and it would not surprise me if this were just more of the same. Ultimately the whole thing is bottlenecked on production of unprecedented machines, and if I were in his shoes, I would be saying and doing literally anything I could think of to get the individual humans responsible for those tasks to work a) super hard and b) as close to nonstop as is physically possible.

Doesn't make it right.
