Elon Musk on How to Build the Future

Having watched a good number of Elon Musk interviews, I wish more interviewers would ask more direct questions. Asking Elon general questions usually results in fairly similar responses to what you have heard before or read in his biography.

I'm curious -- what would you ask him?

How to build reliable stuff on time?

But the answer might be shorter.

I have one.

He has always said the chances of SpaceX succeeding was very slim - but at what point(after any particular technical achievement) he realized the this might work out.

I've heard from interviewers that he's notoriously difficult to interview. He doesnt trust reporters and usually has certain questions they cant ask him.

I'm fairly sure i've heard this answer and it would be after that falcon 1 launch that would have bankrupted the company if it blew up.

Wasn't Falcon 1 a test bed for Falcon 9? I remember one when Tom Mueller called Elon Musk to say the a full length Merlin burn was completed without melting the engine. That was a big milestone.

I am pretty sure there have multiple of this yahoo moments successively - that made him believe that SpaceX will be able to succeed.

I would ask him, if he is still using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderall .

Do you have a source of him using Adderall?
