Unique problem of Elon Musk: SpaceX owner is not getting engineers, not lack of talent but ‘this’ fear of wives became the real reason.

The world’s first trillionaire and SpaceX owner Elon Musk is dreaming of taking human settlements to Mars and creating history in space. But Musk, who claims to conquer the universe, is facing such a unique and complex challenge on earth, which even this richest person in the world cannot solve. In a recent interview, Musk made a very shocking revelation and said that the biggest headache for SpaceX at this time is not any technical glitch or lack of talented people. Rather, the biggest problem is convincing married engineers to live in ‘Starbase’ located near the Mexico border. Musk has named this entire family dilemma as the ‘Significant Other’ problem. After all, what is this ‘significant other’ problem of Musk? During a conversation in a famous podcast, Elon Musk openly presented his unique and practical problem to the world. According to Musk, many veteran and talented engineers from around the world are very eager to work on SpaceX’s big and ambitious projects and rockets. But as soon as they are asked to relocate to the ‘Starbase’ built in a remote area of ​​Texas, they step back. Explaining the reason for this, Musk said that when a married or relationship employee goes there, his ‘significant other’ i.e. life partner/wife does not get any other job or career opportunity in that remote and isolated area. According to Musk, this is a serious problem in today’s times where for the sake of the career of one person in the family, the other partner has to completely compromise his career. The hub is big, but the area of ​​’Starbase’ is very deserted. If we look at it geographically, this Starbase of SpaceX is located in South Texas, very close to the Mexico border. This place is the main launching, manufacturing and testing hub of SpaceX’s most powerful rockets. This area has been the center of Musk’s entire rocket development since 2019. The problem is that this entire area is in a very isolated place, far away from major cities and modern amenities. Generally, where the world’s big tech companies set up their offices, a big corporate hub and employment market is established. But apart from SpaceX, there is no other big company or corporate office anywhere near Starbase. Why did Elon Musk call Starbase a ‘technological ashram’? While talking openly about the environment of Starbase, Musk compared it to a kind of ‘technology monastery’. He said in his usual outspoken and witty manner that this place is so remote and desolate that only men are seen working here 24 hours a day. In such a situation, it becomes almost impossible for any modern family, working female partner or children to adapt themselves to the environment and find career paths for themselves. This is the main reason why veteran engineers hesitate to shift their families there despite getting huge salary packages. California vs Texas: Musk’s changed decision proved costly. An old decision of Musk is also responsible for this relocation problem. Earlier, SpaceX’s main headquarters was in El Segundo, California, which is an important part of a very modern and huge metropolis like Los Angeles. While living in California, there were thousands of great job options in different sectors for the partners of employees. Musk himself admitted that this problem of ‘family relocation’ increased the most after shifting his entire setup from California to Texas. However, Musk’s other automobile company Tesla is headquartered in Austin, where this problem is less because areas like Austin and Silicon Valley already have a huge job market and tech ecosystem. The new truth of modern couples with double income: After this statement of Musk, a big debate has erupted on social media platforms regarding working couples and career choice. In today’s modern era, in most of the families, both husband and wife are highly educated and working. Internet users and HR experts say that now those old times are gone when the wife and children would leave everything and shift to some unknown or backward area just for the sake of husband’s career or transfer. Today’s new couples decide to move to any city only after thoroughly weighing the career graph of both, children’s education and the amenities of the city. Even the owner of 1.1 trillion dollars is helpless in front of human relationships. This whole discussion is making headlines in the global media at a time when the total net worth of Elon Musk has crossed the historical figure of almost 1.1 trillion dollars. Musk has officially become the first trillionaire in history. However, most of his wealth is not in liquid cash but in the form of shares of companies like SpaceX and Tesla. Despite this unlimited power of money and technology, Musk has now understood on the ground that human relationships, family priorities and partner’s self-esteem cannot be bent just because of money.
