6942 days after SpaceX
6942
Everyday Astronaut, 7 May 2021: 6942 days from 6 May 2002 to SNL. SpaceX’s celebrated founding is Pi Day, 14 March 2002. Two clocks.
Tim Dodd wrote 6942 days after founding SpaceX. That arithmetic starts 6 May 2002 and ends 8 May 2021, SNL night. The company keeps Pi Day, 14 March 2002, as the incorporation birthday. Pi Day to SNL is 6995 days. Two founding dates in the record. Tim’s 6942 is the May clock. The later tape said 69,420 days of age. That is a miss.
What it supports
A dated public post. Wikipedia’s History of SpaceX: filings give 14 March 2002; some sources give a de facto 6 May. SpaceX celebrates Pi Day. 6942 writes 69 beside 42 on the May clock.
What it does not
Not 69,420 days of Elon’s life. Pi Day and 6 May are two dates, not one span.
Calculation
Pi Day · 14 March 2002 → 8 May 2021 = 6995 days. May clock · 6 May 2002 → 8 May 2021 = 6942 days. Tim’s tweet is the May clock.
Civil day-count.
