Hi there! I see your else-statement comes before the elif-statement, and you haven't specified what the elif-statement should look for. With an else-statement that is not necessary, since it handles all the other things that you haven't told your if- and elif-statements to look for. See below what I mean. This code works well on my end.

first_name = input(" what is your name? ")
print("hello",first_name) 
if first_name == "craig": 
    print(first_name, "is learning python") 
elif first_name == "max": 
    print(first_name, " is learning with fellow students in the community! Me too") 
else: 
    print("you should totally learn python, {}!".format(first_name)) 
    print("Have a great day {}".format(first_name))
