ELON MUSK: Starship is extremely difficult for competitors to copy. “So this is not like, if you had a chart where you plotted things, you would need a very, very big table to put the chart on to even see any of our competitors on that chart. And to... show more

They’re gonna have us pulling up like this to work in 50 20 years:

“Starship is extremely difficult for competitors to copy” China: hold my beer

It is very very hard to copy. They have such a head start and an incredible talented team.

Still many years ahead of the competition. And yet the News gives very little attention to it! I really don’t understand that! 🇺🇸🦅🚀❤️

We Definitely need more people like @elonmusk Imagine the developments and innovations and inspirations. Elon will go down in history books as one of the greatest contributors to civilisation.

Amazing

Yeah it's a whole different level. Especially when the mfg ramps up.

Brilliant

We’re 5 years away from having starship at scale taking people to the moon, most people can’t comprehend that.

Encouraging replication while maintaining a large performance gap is a rare competitive stance. Openness plus execution speed becomes its own durable moat.

As long as he doesn't hire anyone from China or the NBA it should be safe

That chart would need logarithmic scale just to fit the gap.

Всегда - ! Инженер всегда : ЛУЧШИЙ - !

♥️🥰👍

Starship isn’t just ahead. It’s in another dimension. Everyone else is still trying to figure out how to build a paper airplane while SpaceX is casually building interplanetary cargo ships… and still offering to launch the competition’s satellites at full price. That’s not competition. That’s charity with thrusters.

The hardest thing to copy isn’t the rocket it’s the culture that built it. Agree or disagree? 🚀

This is the way. Build the best and let everyone copy to scale.

Ironically, this is exactly how Elon Musk described Tesla EV competitors just a few years ago.

Whether you agree with Musk or not, encouraging competitors to build better rockets instead of relying on patents is an interesting philosophy. Competition usually pushes the whole industry forward.

Innovation leads, others follow. 🚀

It is hard to copy unfinished rocket which design chances every launch🙄

Even if SpaceX makes its technology public, it would still require highly skilled engineers or robots to replicate the company's various products

Wow musk is unique

Amazing!!

That’s the way. Dare them.

Imagine what Grok 5 will be able to do when trained on all Spacex data. SpaceXAI will help build the world! Sharing is caring!

Good innovation

Yeah it's a whole different level. Especially when the mfg ramps up.

Cool 😎

Innovation is hard to copy. Execution is even harder. 🚀

Can they ever?

Just creating a market around it
