On June 12, Musk spoke at the bell-ringing ceremony at Starbase on Friday morning. Reflecting on early investors who believed in SpaceX, he recalled, "At that time, I thought, you must have taken some good stuff because I felt this company was destined to fail." Dressed in his iconic leather jacket and a black SpaceX-themed T-shirt, Musk stood in front of a large Mars graphic with a group of employees between them. Musk stated, "SpaceX's goal is to send humans to the Moon, Mars, and ultimately to more distant interstellar destinations." After the bell-ringing ceremony, the Nasdaq live channel played Elton John's song 'Rocketman.'
