Lots of misinformation being spread about me the last couple days, so some quick facts
- My name is Tina, not Guo Can (or Jessie Anderson). I’m one of many Raptor flight operators on console since flight2. Before that, I wrote control software for the vehicle, and was a stage software operator for flight1
- Been living in Starbase since surborbital days in 2020, absolutely love it down here. The people are wonderful and so so excited about the mission - the lows are lows but the highs are very high. My friends here are the best in the world, and I love them to the moon/mars and back :)
- The reason I decided to say something was because facts matter, but also because wanted to share my real life journey to how I got here. I don’t have a masters or a PhD, I started full time directly after college after 2x internships also at spacex doing software/automation. I was on a couple design teams in college, including Stanford solar car + mars rover. When I started spacex as a software engineer, I knew very little about fluids / propulsion engineering - I learned a lot of it on the job with some pretty incredible mentors. Then I swapped over to propulsion about halfway through my career and have been loving it ever since
🇯🇵 Former Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba just dropped the truth about Trump. I met him three times. If you tell him he is wrong, he gets angry right away. You cannot say that. You have to say you are absolutely right and flatter him to save face. That guy judges everything by loss or gain.
This is not a secret. This is how the US operates. Flatter the leader. Stroke the ego. Pretend he is always right. That is not diplomacy. That is servitude. Japan has been doing this for decades. Bowing to Washington. Flattering US presidents. Ignoring its own interests.
Ishiba is speaking the truth that Japanese politicians usually hide. Trump cannot handle criticism. He cannot handle being wrong. He judges everything by what benefits him. Not what benefits the US. Not what benefits Japan. What benefits him.
The world knows this. The US knows this. But no one says it out loud. Ishiba just did. The mask is off. The empire is run by a man who cannot be told he is wrong. And the world is expected to bow. Japan is waking up. The rest of the world is watching.
