      “We? 6 million pounds?”

      A little bit of conflating the SuperHeavy/Starship Stage with the Falcon 9.

      As to”We?”, the President of the US gets to include *all* the US when he speaks of US accomplishments, including private companies contracted to do something. So, yeah, …”We”.

      In a way, its refreshing, actually, to see a politician who is willing to count more than just the government in the hierarchy under himself as being a major actor in the US. It’s recognition that the majority of US accomplishments come from *outside* government. Yes, …refreshing, that is.

        That’s a charitable description. “We” almost certainly means “mostly me and my administration, with some little people” as it typically does.

    FWIW “6 million pounds” seems like an obvious Saturn 5 ref to me. Per Wikipedia, liftoff mass 6,540,000 lbs.
