Elon Musk is the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla. He told his employees that Tesla could be bankrupt if it doesn’t make Raptor engines as often as they do. This according to SpaceX emails.
Musk was reportedly furious at the slow progress of his Starship rocket engines following a February test that ended in an explosion. This set back production of the SN9 Starship, which is intended to carry out missions to Mars.
Musk sent the email saying that “The Raptor production crise is far worse than it appeared a few weeks back.”
“We are at serious risk of going bankrupt if we fail to achieve Starship flight rates of at least one Starship flight every two weeks in the next year.”
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk wrote to employees in a SpaceX email, expressing concern that the company might fail to fix its engine problem.
Two days ago, the rocket was launched at high altitude. However, the launch failed to go according to plan.
SpaceX has created the Starship, a new-generation massive rocket.
