"Elon Musk tells SpaceX employees that Starship engine crisis is
creating a ‘risk of bankruptcy’"
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/30/elon-musk-to-spacex-starships-raptor-engine-crisis-risks-bankruptcy.html

"Elon Musk described a dire situation with SpaceX’s development of
Raptor rocket engines the day after Thanksgiving in a companywide email,
a copy of which was obtained by CNBC."

"“The Raptor production crisis is much worse than it seemed a few weeks
ago,” Musk wrote."

"Raptor engines power the company’s Starship rocket, with Musk adding
that SpaceX faces “genuine risk of bankruptcy if we cannot achieve a
Starship flight rate of at least once every two weeks next year.”"

That is a heck of a goal for a space ship that has not been in space yet.

My guess is that when EM moved the raptor engine shop from California to
Waco, TX a while back, he did not put any startup time into his
estimates of getting to producing 100 rocket engines/month. EM is both
scaling the California shop (producing 2 ? 4 ? 10 ? rocket
engines/month) into the new Waco shop and creating the new Waco shop
simultaneously. Sounds heroic to me.
