The former engineer said his robot made a pizza every 45 seconds and sprayed cheese everywhere when it was first built.
In an interview with Insider, a man who worked at Musk's space company for five years said that he faced a number of failures while launching his startup with two other ex-SpaceX engineers.
Three years ago, the pizza-making robot "dumped melted cheese everywhere" during testing, according to Tsai.
The robot at Stellar Pizza was attempting to make a cheese pizza, but it malfunctioned, pulling the cheese off the pizza and onto the automated peel, which slides the pizza in and out of the machine.
The robot is from Stellar Pizza.
The pizza is called Stellar Pizza.
The cheese went in the wrong places.
The cheese explosion was caused by a bug in the robot's system. It's part of the design process.
"While we don't like wasting cheese, an event like this is a great learning opportunity for our team." It was cheaper to crash a rocket than it was to understand our machine.
The back of a truck that is parked across the street from the headquarters of the company is where the pizza-making robot fits in.
The pizza truck has a robot in it.
The pizza is called Stellar Pizza.
Musk hasn't tried the pizza yet, but he said a lot of his old coworkers have tried it.
The pizza is ordered through an app. It costs $7 for a 12 inch and can go up to $10, according to Tsai.
The company wants to have up to six pizza-making robots in trucks in the next year.
