An X user’s post about Elon Musk drawing inspiration from a Hollywood film about a part of Starship’s design prompted a response from the SpaceX CEO himself. The user shared that Musk made Starship ‘pointy’ after drawing inspiration from a scene shown in The Director.
“Just a reminder before the second launch of Starship: Elon Musk made the starship more pointy because of the movie ‘The Dictator’,” X user who goes by DogeDesigner tweeted. He also shared a video that shows the scene referenced in the post.

In the film, Admiral General Aladeen, the authoritarian ruler of the fictional nation of Wadiya, asks his engineers with displeasure why his missiles are not ‘pointy’ and have a blunt head. "It is too round on the top. It needs to be pointy,” Aladeen says in the film.
