Elon Musk revealed that the design of SpaceX's Starship spacecraft was influenced by a scene from the 2012 satirical film 'The Dictator.' In the movie, a character insists a missile be made 'more pointy' because 'pointy is scary.' Musk confirmed this anecdote, stating he told engineers to make Starship's nose more pointy for a similar intimidating effect. This resurfaced revelation has generated significant social media reaction.
