You may be right but Starship uses Raptor engines, not Merlins.

I'm aware, the picture was to show what the liner looks like (approximately), the engines are of similar design. I apologize if anyone thought that was literally the liner in question.

Ah yeah, lots of confusion re: TEB in other comments. Seems like a lot of people have the Raptor and Merlin mixed up so at least in this context probably have to be explicit.
