SpaceX had zero idea how to build a rocket in the beginning. That became the genius of it: Elon rejected conventional wisdom entirely and grounded everything in first-principles thinking instead of copying competitors or blindly following “best practices” nobody could justify. Tesla and SpaceX exist because he refused to...

Walter Isaacson explains exactly how Elon Musk uses first principles thinking to build rockets: When young Elon wanted to send people to space, he first tried buying used rockets from Russia. They jacked him around - it didn’t work So he went back to first principles. He asked: Exactly how much does each material in a rocket cost? How much is the Inconel? How much is the carbon fiber? How much is the fuel? What’s the total cost of the raw materials compared to the price of a finished rocket? That’s first principles He realized: if he could cut manufacturing costs by a factor of 10, he could actually build affordable rockets Same mindset at Tesla: someone says “we need this patch of felt at the bottom of the car” and Elon replies, “Tell me the principles of physics that make that true” Isaacson notes: America used to be a nation of risk-takers. Now we have more referees, guardrails, and lawyers saying “that’s probably not a good idea” than people willing to shoot off a rocket Elon wants to calculate the risk and then actually take it This is why SpaceX exists. This is how impossible things get done

Former SpaceX CIO Ken Venner explains what makes Elon Musk a "genius" operator: "Elon hired me because he wanted to build the digital nervous system for the 21st-century rocket company." "I'm like, this is either the smartest thing or the stupidest thing we've ever done, and I have no idea right now whether this is smart or stupid." "For the first 2 years, I didn't think it was such a smart idea. By year 3, when we really had the software working well and the company was really using it, I'm like, this man is a genius." "He figured out what we needed to do, how we needed to get it done." "It became one of the major differentiators for how SpaceX could scale and keep all the information together and connected with each other."

🚀 Starship will be the 1st fully reusable orbital rocket in history. Liquid oxygen, liquid methane, and a cost-per-launch that could drop below trans-oceanic air freight. Elon put it simply: "The cost of access to orbit is just the cost of propellant." If that holds, the economics of space will get rewritten entirely. Source: SpaceX, Elon Musk

DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis: Elon is doing amazing things with SpaceX “I think there will be a solution to the energy problem. So free, pretty much free, renewable, clean energy one way or another, fusion or better solar. And then that will unlock us to really travel the stars. Because the main cost, Elon does amazing work with SpaceX and those things, but the main cost is still the rocket fuel, right? The energy cost. So if that's sort of zero somehow, because we can just make infinite rocket fuel out of seawater once we’ve cracked fusion.” Source: Muskonomy

ELON: SOMEONE HAS TO SOLVE ROCKET REUSABILITY — WHETHER IT’S SPACEX OR SOMEONE ELSE “The cost of the fuel and oxygen on a Falcon 9 is 0.3% of the cost of the rocket. So, it's a very tiny number. It's very similar to an airplane. How much does it cost to fuel up an airplane, and how much does it cost to buy an airplane? They're very different things. If humanity is ever to expand beyond Earth and establish a self-sustaining base on another planet, it's critical that we solve this problem. Whether it's SpaceX or someone else, someone has to solve the problem, and we can have a hundred-fold reduction in the cost of spaceflight. That's what SpaceX has been trying to do, and really that's been the goal since the beginning of the company. So far, I've not been very successful in that regard, but I think we have a handle on it. We've got a design that closes in the simulations. If we can build that thing, it should work.” Source: SXSW, March 2013

Peter Thiel on Elon Musk: My number one rule is to never compete with Elon on anything, so I would never bet against Elon “I was a close partner of his at PayPal in the late 90s early 2000s and after PayPal, Elon set out to start these two both rocket and car companies, SpaceX and Tesla I think the conventional wisdom on Elon was that these were both completely harebrained projects and if one of them had succeeded that you have to sort of question it and when both of them succeeded, it suggests that he knows something other people don’t”

Most people know Elon Musk as a CEO, a billionaire or the man behind SpaceX But at his core, Elon is an engineer When he started SpaceX, the top rocket engineers he approached did not want to join a startup they believed he was destined to fail So Elon became the rocket’s chief engineer himself He taught himself rocket engineering by reading everything he could, speaking with experts and working directly with the team And that mindset never left him When something goes wrong, Elon does not simply sit in a boardroom waiting for someone else to explain it He goes straight to the engineers, dives into the technical details and works through the problem with them in real time Whether it is a mechanical pin refusing to retract, hardware behaving unexpectedly under cryogenic conditions or a failure nobody fully understands yet, Elon gets close to the problem and searches for the root cause That is what makes him so different He does not only lead SpaceX from the top He understands the machines, questions every assumption and works alongside the people building them SpaceX achieved things that once thought impossible because Elon was never satisfied with merely managing the mission He wanted to understand every system standing between humanity and the stars

Elon Musk describes first principles thinking as a superpower, and it truly is. Because most people never learn how to think — they just learn how to remember. They copy, they imitate, they accept. But when you break problems into their most fundamental truths, when you question everything — you step outside the illusion of precedent. That’s how Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink happened. Physics doesn’t care about legacy systems. It only cares about what’s possible.

Elon Musk did not become a different person when he landed in America. In South Africa, he may still have been brilliant, restless, and ambitious, but the environment would not have given him the same room to build SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and everything else. Talent matters. The country you build in decides how much of that talent can become real.

KAYLEIGH MCENANY: “I want to emphasize Elon Musk and what he has done for the world. “I stood alongside President Trump as SpaceX achieved America’s first crewed rocket launch in nearly a decade. It was SpaceX. “When Butch Wilmore and his crew were stranded, who saved them? It wasn’t the public sector — it was the private sector. It was SpaceX. “Elon Musk’s companies — SpaceX, X, and Neuralink — are pushing humanity forward. “Neuralink is already helping restore communication and mobility for people with paralysis. That is Elon Musk. That is innovation. “And with innovation comes profit, and with profit comes the creation of millionaires and opportunity inside companies. That’s how capitalism works. It is not the great evil Bernie Sanders wants you to believe it is.”

Tesla's Optimus Robot defines what first principles is: "It's like boiling things down to the atomic level, and rebuilding from scratch. Elon loves this approach. It's how we innovate at Tesla and SpaceX." (via Up.Summit 2025)

🇺🇸 The Model S was designed in the back of the SpaceX factory. No design studio. No big budget. Only a tent in the corner of a rocket factory. One goal: Make the car awesome. That vision turned into the company that forced the entire auto industry to change. Hustle > resources. This is the Elon way. Tesla, SpaceX, Elon Musk
