“I want to do that so badly” – When Bryson DeChambeau revealed space aspirations after attending Elon Musk's SpaceX launch

Elon Musk is the name on the lips of many, and the same was the case with Bryson DeChambeau once. The LIV Golfer, 31, was one of several people who attended the launch of SpaceX Starship in Texas in November 2024. DeChambeau did not shy away from sharing his space aspirations after that.

In a vlog that was posted on President Donald Trump's granddaughter Kai Trump's channel, DeChambeau can be heard speaking about his love for space. The 2025 LIV Golf Korea champion also detailed what about his space aspirations would make him cry.

Bryson DeChambeau said:

"I want to do that so badly," DeChambeau said of his aspirations to go to space. "I would literally cry for probably a good couple hours. Being up there and looking at the Earth."

The widely popular LIV Golfer was also seen joking with President Trump's daughter Kai. It must be noted that Kai like her grandfather also loves golf and has committed to playing for the University of Miami. DeChambeau told her:

"I’ll design a rocket ship golf club with boosters on the back so it would increase your swing speed … just for you."

Kai responded to DeChambeau by saying, "Wow, that hurt"

In the last year or so, Bryson DeChambeau has formed a strong bond with President Donald Trump. Last year, DeChambeau had the U.S. President feature on his channel when he attempted the famous 'Break 50' with him. Recently, they once again met to play a game of golf followed by a trip to the White House.

Bryson DeChambeau spoke about collaborating with President Donald Trump for their Break 50 video

It seems that collaborating with U.S. President Donald Trump somewhere helped Bryson DeChambeau become the social media sensation that he is. The reason it helped him is because the Break 50 challenge with President Trump is the most popular video on DeChambeau's channel.

With 15 million views, there is no other video on DeChambeau's channel that comes close to the video with President Trump. While the collaboration was largely successful, there is a chance that sometimes such things might get critiqued.

However, it seems like Bryson DeChambeau never cared about it. When Fox Sports asked DeChambeau if he regretted the video with President Trump, he said:

"Not at all. "There’s always risk associated to that. But from my perspective, it was focused on entertainment… We can talk about politics — that’s a whole different conversation, something that I was not trying to do on my YouTube channel, it was solely on providing great entertainment."

DeChambeau also then spoke about John Daly, the golfer who features in the second most popular video on the 2024 US Open winner's channel. Speaking of the collaboration with Daly, DeChambeau said:

"As well as the John Daly video — he’s a super controversial figure, smokes and drinks and what not, but being able to showcase their personalities and entertainment, that was the goal of that. That was it, just to provide amazing golf content."

It would seem like Bryson DeChambeau is indeed doing the right thing when it comes to golf content. On social media platforms, DeChambeau has amassed a huge following. While he has 2.03M subscribers on YouTube, he has 3M followers on IG and 533.6k on X.
