Tom Mueller

So the guy who's like put $400 million in the checking account for building orbital data centers.

has for this proposal, has got both Jared Isaacman and Tom Mueller on board, like publicly posting to his LinkedIn and Twitter.

He's like, they're on board with this plan.

So he, Phil Johnson is reaching some interesting places and the world is not enough anymore.

But, you know, he didn't design the Merlin engine.

That's the genius of Tom Mueller and his team.

He didn't run the company day to day.

That's Gwynne Shotwell, who did and still does.

Elon passes this in flying colors.

I think he's helped solve some of the hardest engineering problems in history and changed the way people think of electric vehicles and climate, right? Yes, he didn't design the engine, he didn't write battery chemistry or run the factories, but he did get the right personnel and he made it happen time and time again.

Shout out to Tom Mueller, shout out to Gwynne Shotwell, but he got the right conviction and capital and made these things happen.

Is he the Iron Man story that he's let himself believe he is? I don't know, but I find his genius impressive and I'm glad of many of the things he's brought

He is the CEO and product architect of Tesla, and his own engineers have said publicly that he lives in the weeds of technical design.

Tom Mueller, who is one of the first SpaceX propulsion experts, said that Elon Musk borrowed his college textbooks on rocket propulsion and that he was deeply involved in technical decisions.

Elon Musk has said that about 80% of his time is spent on engineering and design.

The engineering leadership of Elon Musk has been responsible and led to SpaceX launching astronauts into orbit for NASA.

They can go from LEO to GEO.

I, I, um, I watched your, um, session with Tom Mueller where he mentioned, like, for their Helios, they could, if there was a refueling station, they could get more value out of their Helios from LEO to GEO.

Yep.

That's exactly what we are providing.
