You know he said to his engineers "You guys aren't thinking big enough. 2 hours? The best you can do is 2 hours? I bet I can shave that down by ~75%." He starts writing some math on the whiteboard. He's intentionally scribbled a lot of it so it's illegible. He's been talking and saying stuff like "It's really quite elementary once you simplify." The engineers are already familiar with "Elon math". It's total nonsense. But they can't talk about it with outsiders due to their NDAs.
He stops writing and turns to face them. "Okay." And he does a Star Trek impression "Make it so." One suck-up engineer starts politely clapping. Elon looks around the room as if to say "Why aren't you clapping." They all clap. Elon preens like a peacock.
It's my best guess how he got to 29 minutes. I think even Elon realized he couldn't say anything lower than 30 because nobody would believe him. But then he realized he could still do his magic and shave off a minute.
