I've seen a lot of people claim this. But it reminds me of what was said about the Falcon Heavy before its development got underway. That rocket turned out to be much more challenging than expected, despite being "just" an iteration on Falcon 9.[1]

That said, I watch progress on Starship with interest and optimism.

I am simply referring to Elon Musk's claim. He got experience in both rocketry and automotive manufacturing. If he said it's hard, I believe him.

He could be wrong yes, but I don't know anything about making cars or build rockets.

Heavy is easier than Starship because Heavy uses standard technology, but Starship is very innovative.
