And knowing that everything Musk says has turned out to be total BS, who knows what the actual number is. So far no Starship has been to LEO and hasn't carried any payload. Sure the last one carried a banana and technically made it to orbital speeds before plunging back into the atmosphere. That's a long way from actually doing the thing and putting 50 tons into LEO.

Wait, are you saying we won't have 4 starships on Mars before 2024 is over?

I intentionally picked the most generous interpretation, and even that isn't great
