Elon Musk's Elon Musk Five Step Improvement Process: 1. First, make your requirements less dumb. 2. Try very hard to delete the part of the process. 3. Only the third step is to simplify or optimize. 4. Accelerate cycle time. 5. Automate "Everyone's wrong. No matter who you are. Everyone's wrong some of the time. The most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist. I have personally made a mistake of going backwards on all 5 steps. Multiple times." Elon is so real & authentic! 💯🙏

Elon Musk explains his 5-step process for running companies: "First, make your requirements less dumb. Your requirements are definitely dumb. It does not matter who gave them to you. It's particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements because you might not question them enough. Everyone's wrong no matter who you are. Everyone's wrong some of the time. So make your requirements less dumb. Then try very hard to delete the part or process. This is actually very important. If you're not occasionally adding things back in, you are not deleting enough. The bias tends to be very strongly towards let's add this part or process step in case we need it. But you can basically make in-case arguments for so many things and for a rocket that is trying to be the first fully reusable rocket. There's never been a fully reusable rocket. People don't understand. This is like the holy grail of rocketry. So you've got to delete the part or process step. Super important. You can't hedge your bets. That's why the grid funds, for example, do not fall down because that's a whole extra mechanism that we don't need. Also, whatever requirement or constraint you have, it must come with a name, not a department. Because you can't ask the department. You have to ask a person. That person who's putting forward their requirement or constraint must agree that they must take responsibility for that requirement. Otherwise, you can have a requirement that basically an intern two years ago randomly came up with off the cuff and they're not even at the company anymore. These things are often just way more silly than you think. So step one, make your requirements less dumb. Step two, delete the part or process step. If you're not adding things back in 10% of the time, you're clearly not deleting enough. And then only the third step is simplify or optimize. The third step, not the first step. The reason it's the third step is because possibly the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist. Everyone's been trained in high school and college that you've got to answer the question. Convergent logic. So you can't tell the professor your question is dumb. You'll get a bad grade. You have to answer the question. So everyone's basically, without knowing it, they've got a mental straitjacket on. They'll work on optimizing the thing that should simply not exist. And then finally, you get to step four, which is accelerate cycle time. You're moving too slowly, go faster. But don't go faster until you have worked on the other three things first. You can always make things go faster. And then the final step is automate. Now, I've personally made the mistake of going backwards on all five steps multiple times. Literally, I automated, accelerated, simplified, and then deleted. One example I've talked about before is there were these fiberglass mats on top of the Model 3 battery pack that were in between the floor pan and the battery. And it was at one point choking the battery pack production line. And I was basically living on the battery pack production line trying to fix the line. It was choking the entire Model 3 production program. So the first mistake was I tried to fix the automation, like make the robot better. So automating was a mistake. Then accelerating was a mistake. Then optimizing was a mistake. And finally, I said, what the hell are these mats for? And I asked the battery safety team, what are these mats for? Are they for fire protection or something? They said, no, they're for noise and vibration. Then I asked an NVH, a noise, vibration, harshness team, what's it for? They said fire safety. So literally, it was like being in a Dilbert cartoon. Actually, I feel like I'm in a Dilbert cartoon quite frequently. So then finally, OK, great, let's try a car with the fiberglass mats and without. And they put a microphone to both and see if you can tell the difference. In fact, I was like, which one is which? So we just deleted them and just bypassed this $2 million robot cell. It was just a complete pile of nonsense."

Elon's Algorithm: 1. Make Requirements Less Dumb 2. Delete the Part or Process Step 3. Optimize 4. Accelerate 5. Automate "The Algorithm is a five step process that [Elon] installs at all his companies — it's his method for breaking bottlenecks. It starts by questioning the requirements. Question every requirement. It doesn't matter how smart the person is. Accept no requirements from departments, they must have a human name attached to them. The second step is to delete and simplify. Delete anything you possibly can. The most useful heuristic is you have to over-delete. If you aren't adding back at least 10% of what you deleted then you haven't been deleting enough. The reason to simplify is that you get both reliability and low cost. You want fewer parts and fewer lines of code. Complexity is recursive...each additional element causes more complexity and more work. Those first two steps carry 80% of the weight. Number three is optimize which is typical engineering work. The forth is accelerate which is just...go faster. And the fifth is automate. The problem is almost everybody does these five steps in reverse order."

If you're drowning in bureaucracy at work, your company probably isn't following Elon Musk's five-step process for improvement. Here are the highlights: "Everybody's been trained in high school and college that you have to answer the question. It's convergence logic. You can't tell a professor '"your question is dumb" or you'll get a bad grade. You have to answer the question. So without knowing it, people have mental straight jackets on. They will work on optimizing the thing that should simply not exist." "It's particularly dangerous if the smart person gave you the requirements because you might not question them enough." "If you're not occasionally adding things back in, you're not deleting enough process. The bias tends to be very strongly towards adding things." (These quotes are paraphrased to make them easier to read).

.Second Lady Usha Vance responds to a student's question about how to be the best Second Lady: "I think they key thing, for anyone who is in this kind of role, is to try to just continue to be yourself. You have to do the best job that you can. And there are some responsibilities that come with it...you don't always choose what you are doing...But the most important thing is to remember the kind of person that you were before it, and the kind of person you want to be. If you can do that all the way through, then you can have a lot of fun — and maybe be helpful. You don't want to just start thinking of yourself as the Second Lady, because then you're probably not that fun a person anymore."

ELON: MAXIMIZE YOUR USEFULNESS “Generally, just try to make a good product or service. It's really that. You have to say, what is a useful thing that you could do? Maximize your usefulness. If you want to make the best beef jerky, just go ahead and do it. First of all, you need to make sure it is, in fact, the best beef jerky. And then, you just need to explain to people why it is. And so, if you have both the reality and the perception of something being the best beef jerky, or whatever the product may be, then I think you'll find it to be very successful.” Source: Philadelphia, October 2024

“Failure is so much more interesting than success. And it always saddens me that school doesn't teach that. At school the thing is to be brilliant and to get the answer right first time. And there are brilliant people who could do that, but for the rest of us who are not brilliant, we have to strive, and we have to go through failure. And we realize that you don't get it right the first time or the second time. In my case and I counted it. It took 5,127 times. With failure you question it “Well why did it go wrong?” And actually the reason it goes wrong is often very, very interesting. Where something works you say “Great that worked.” You don't even stop to wonder why it works. So if you've got to enjoy failure.” —James Dyson

🚨 LMFAO! President Trump, gesturing to the fake news: "[The cognitive test] is hard. There are many people in this room I know that are smart. THEY'RE not going to ace them!" 🤣 "There are many people standing back there. The fake news, I'd like to have them." "You know, the first question is very easy. And they always show the first question is, you have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a, what's another good, a squirrel, okay? Which is the squirrel? So they show that question. And then the first four or five questions, they get a little more difficult. By the time you get to the middle, they're tough."

Jordan Peterson: "If you're competent and silent you will be ignored." "You might think well people should reward you because you're competent. And yes of course they should. But if you're competent and silent then you're just part of the background that's keeping everything functioning" On why you cannot negotiate from a position of weakness: "If you want to push your career forward you have to push it forward. You have to be competent and you have to be strategic" "To be strategic when you negotiate for a new position or a new salary you have to be able to say if you don't give me what I want then something you don't like will happen to you" "It's not a physical threat. It's that you have an option" "You have your CV in order. You're educated and competent and desirable to people outside of your immediate job. You're willing to instantly put yourself on the job market" "So that when you go talk to the person you're negotiating with you're credible" On the one thing most people completely miss about negotiation: "It's very seldom that you're talking to the person who's at the top of the pecking order. What you need to do is tell them a story that they can tell to their boss to make you not a problem" "A good story is look we really need this person because they're hyper competent and they have a better offer" "If you go in there with no power you're going to lose. Obviously" He concludes with the one thing every competent person needs to hear: "The first thing you need to know if you're going to negotiate is that you have to be able to say no.

"And I'm going to try to prevent Canada from making a very dumb decision of putting energy on the table because line five goes through Michigan." "So I would just say that it may sound tough to say those kind of things, but if you cannot do it practically and you're not prepared to live with the consequences of doing it, don't threaten it." "But I would say it's far more constructive to go into negotiations saying, hey, we want a deal, we want to maintain this really strong trade relationship and let's see if we can both get a win out of it.

Elon Musk: Education shouldn't be such a huge chore. “If you're thinking like, what is education? You're basically downloading data and algorithms into your brain. And it's actually amazingly bad in conventional education. Because it shouldn't be like this huge chore. So you're making it way, way better. But I think a lot of things that I would say you've probably heard 100 times and are fact, or if not doing, the more you can gamify the process of learning, the better. For my kids, I do not have to encourage them to play video games. I have to pry them from their hands like crack. It's like, drop that crack needle. The crack is addictive. So to the degree that you can make somehow learning like a game, but then it's better. And I think unfortunately a lot of education is very vaudevillian. You've got someone standing up there kind of lecturing at people, and they've done the same lecture 20 years in a row, and they're not very excited about it.” Interview with Sal Khan, Khan Academy, April 22, 2013.

Elon Musk: Freedom of speech is the ability to say what you want to say without being thrown in prison or killed "One of the first things the Nazis did when they came in, is to shut down all the press and any means of conveying information. If there had been social media, I think it would have been impossible to hide, if there'd been freedom of speech as well. It's worth noting that the First Amendment in the United States was freedom of speech because the people that came to the United States from other countries did not have freedom of speech. If they had said something, they could be imprisoned or killed. And that's why the first correction to the Constitution was the ability to say what you want to say and not be thrown in prison or killed."

my two favorite people saying the same thing “just give it a try” 🥹 🦌: the most important thing is to just give it a try. i think the idea of taking that first step is one of the most important things in life 🦮: moments when we have to make big decisions can be scary, and i think that's completely normal. but the fact that something feels scary also means it’s a very important opportunity. that’s why i think it’s important to really think about what you want and then just give it a try. because if you don’t try, you’ll definitely regret it later on

NEW: CNN’s Dana Bash gets thoroughly schooled on Medicaid work requirements, tries to end the conversation but gets cornered by Scott Bessent. This is satisfying to watch. BASH: “You’ve seen and heard a lot of the concern, including and especially from Republicans, who are the most vocal in Congress, about the fact that those work requirements are going to be very cumbersome to actually prove and it will inevitably force the people who need that Medicaid coverage off the rolls.” BESSENT: “Well, first of all, the Republicans are not the most vocal on this. It is a group of Democrats who, unfortunately, seem to think that poor people are stupid. I don’t think poor people are stupid. I think they have agency, and I think to have them register twice a year for these benefits—that is not a burden. But these people who want to infantilize the poor and those who need these Medicaid benefits are alarmists.” BASH: “But I do want to move on because—” “NO, NO, NO,” Bessent interrupted firmly. “We’ve also wanted to put in work requirements, which somehow was very popular under Bill Clinton, was POPULAR under President Obama… But work requirements even poll well with the median Democratic voter, maybe not the fringe.”

NEW: CNN’s Dana Bash gets thoroughly schooled on Medicaid work requirements, tries to end the conversation but gets cornered by Scott Bessent. This is satisfying to watch. BASH: “You’ve seen and heard a lot of the concern, including and especially from Republicans, who are the most vocal in Congress, about the fact that those work requirements are going to be very cumbersome to actually prove and it will inevitably force the people who need that Medicaid coverage off the rolls.” BESSENT: “Well, first of all, the Republicans are not the most vocal on this. It is a group of Democrats who, unfortunately, seem to think that poor people are stupid. I don’t think poor people are stupid. I think they have agency, and I think to have them register twice a year for these benefits—that is not a burden. But these people who want to infantilize the poor and those who need these Medicaid benefits are alarmists.” BASH: “But I do want to move on because—” “NO, NO, NO,” Bessent interrupted firmly. “We’ve also wanted to put in work requirements, which somehow was very popular under Bill Clinton, was POPULAR under President Obama… But work requirements even poll well with the median Democratic voter, maybe not the fringe.”

“What did you think of Lando being booed at race because people and I've seen it online as well say he doesn't deserve the title because McLaren favored him over his teammate. Do you think that's total nonsense?” Jacques Villeneuve: “That's a little bit ridiculous. When there was some booing in some races, that was embarrassing. You should never boo a driver that's clean, doesn't do anything dirty, on track is respectful, and on top of it is super fast. What's wrong with people? That was embarrassing. And, had it been that Piastri was a second a lap faster than him and somehow Lando was winning because a lot of things were happening, his car breaking down every time, then you could start thinking, okay, that's really not cool. That's not fair. But that wasn't the case. And in the second half, Norris has been faster right at the beginning as well, last year as well. So there's this whole middle of the season where Piastri was driving a lot better than Norris and was getting the points. Norris had an engine blowing up, not Piastri. And so those fans, they don't look at that either. You have to look at the whole picture, at the whole season. And suddenly if your favorite is starting to go backwards, you just got to bite the bullet and accept it. Your favorite is just going backwards. That doesn't mean that the other one is treated better or the other one is undeserving just because the one you're a fan of is not winning right now. That’s really wrong. If you're a fan of the sport, then you have to be a fan of the sport and understand when your driver is maybe not cutting it at this point in time, even though he was before and he will in the future again. It's all a question of timing. But that's the price we have to pay now with social media and how big F1 has become. It's very passionate. The people are passionate and once, you know, fans come from fanatism, you stop thinking, when you get in that mindset and it happens to all of us. You want something so much that you get attached and you cannot - it's hard to start seeing reality. So you will try to mold the reality to your thought process and if your champion is not winning then it cannot be his fault. It has to be something from the outside. It has to be the team destroying his chance or not favoring and so on and so on and so on. But there's nothing concrete behind those comments. It's pure fandom and it'll always be like this. And ultimately it's not a bad thing. You know drivers at that - sportsman at that level have to grow a thick skin. If not, you don't deserve to be there. You just have to have a thick skin because they're all very happy to get the compliments. They love it when it's just positive, but it gets balanced out with negatives and you need to be able to take and accept the negatives as well. It goes both ways. You cannot have the good. You just have to be a thick skin and know that it's part and parcels of what's going on. And in one month, it will be forgotten and maybe everything will change and it be the other driver that suddenly will be criticized and so on. So, it's just that's just the way it is.”

ELON: WE MUST PUT AN END TO THE TYRANNY OF THE BUREAUCRACY “In order for us to be a true democracy, a functioning democracy, the government must be responsive to the people. That's literally what democracy means. However, when you have a vast unelected bureaucracy that is not answerable to the public, and if the elected officials, the President, the people in Congress and the Senate, if they don't have the power to affect the bureaucracy — and it's actually extremely difficult to affect the bureaucracy — then you do not have rule of the people. Then, you do not have democracy, but you have rule of the bureau — bureaucracy. And this is obviously wrong. It is unconstitutional, and it is imperative, therefore, that we return power to the people of the country and not have tyranny of the bureaucracy, which we most definitely have had to a degree that is absurd. It's not just that there's an unconstitutional fourth branch of the government, but it is arguably the most powerful branch of the government.” Source: DOGE update on 𝕏 Spaces, February 2025

Elon Musk: We have to have free speech in order for civilization to advance. “It's a bigger deal than you'd think. It's the kind of thing that you don't know what you're missing until you don't have it. In a lot of places, people don't have it. It's important to bear in mind that the nature of free speech is, the acid test for it is, are people you don't like allowed to say things that you don't like? Otherwise it's not free. It can't be just be things that you like because eventually somebody's not going to like what you say and they're going to shut you up. That's the essence of free speech. That's why it's the First Amendment in this country. And if we lose that, I think we lose the bedrock of democracy.” From: NBC Universal Marketing Conference, April 18, 2023

ELON: SEEK THE TRUTH, NOT WHAT YOU WISH TO BE TRUE "Mistakes people generally make, and I'm guilty of it too, is wishful thinking. You know, like you want something to be true even if it isn't true, and so you ignore the things that, you ignore the real truth because of what you want to be true. This is a very difficult trap to avoid, and like I said, it's certainly one that I find myself in having problems with. But if you just take that approach of you are always to some degree wrong and your goal is to be less wrong, and solicit critical feedback, particularly from friends. If somebody loves you, they want the best for you, they don't want to tell you the bad things." Source: Unlock Futurix YT
