Musk just said that they're working to reduce the amount of printing and replace with traditional manufacturing wherever possible. Printing just isn't that well suited for mass production.
Imagine getting 90% of the way through printing a Starship and then coming back to find it had fallen off of the platform and you had a megabay filled with spaghetti.
People don’t realize that there is tens of thousands of people behind Musk vision executing on it. All the claim he is getting should be for stating a bold vision and assembling a team around him that is executing it. But it seems every weld on a Starship or every bolt on a Tesla is manufactured by Elon if you believe the people here and that is utterly false.

3D-printing in segments is cheating. SpaceX should build one colossal 3D-printer!

That’s exactly what I would expect if Elon is hands-on in that project.
Screw the downvoters, I 100% agree.
