We embrace the exponentially curious mind, thinkers who see engineering and logic in everything, people that dream and do. Come and join our team of engineers.

Precisely Vinay. I find it bizarre that people are crying this hard over spending oversight, which is a big red flag in itself…..what do they not want uncovered?🧐

I had an intern, 20 year old kid, who in 3 months proved to be the most BRILLIANT and eager employee I've ever had. We made his a permanent employee at the end of the summer and I still refer to him as the single best hire I've ever made in my career.

We’ve sent kids younger than this to WWII and I’d say they did a pretty good job. It’ll come out that Wired was receiving USAID since their sales dumped in the late 90’s.

arrgghh. I respect your opinion Vinay, especially during covid. But you are so fundamentally wrong on this issue. The main premise is that you have an unelected oligarch billionaire who has access to very personal and sensitive information without any oversight or barriers.

I couldn't agree more with you Vinay. The only two places worth learning from are great books and brilliant young minds.

Great take Vinay, I'm grateful we have young, bright minds helping us. What we have now is a dinasour. They'll modernize & create an efficient & robust infrastructure.

They are geniuses. That's is exactly what we need. Not hack activists with 115 IQs that think they are geniuses

I don’t care if they are god damn geniuses. They don’t have a right to the information.

@DineshDSouza I am sure they can forensically audit the trail of $$ and that’s why everyone is freaking out.

Marc Andreessen: "There's 2 reasons they're incurious about it... Elon Musk also generates emotion in people." For a hundred years, management books taught us the exact same system for running a company: put someone at the top to oversee the machine, wait for reports, and enforce the rules. "And then there's Elon who just doesn't do any of that and has a completely different playbook." The Elon Playbook in a nutshell: 1- It’s only engineers. "People who matter in your company are the engineers, the people who understand the technical content of what you're doing." 2- Ruthlessly violate the chain of command. "You never ever talk to mid-level management. If they need it for whatever vacation policy, it's fine. But if you are the CEO to get the truth, you only talk to the line engineer." 3- Parachute into the bottleneck. "Your job as the CEO is every week to fix whatever is the most important bottleneck to the company's progress. You parachute in, find the engineers that are working on that problem, and you basically stay up with them all night until they fix the problem." 4- Engineering reviews, NOT product reviews. "You get all the engineers together and you have them each present what they're doing for 5 minutes. The result of that is you know every single engineer in the company, you know exactly what they're working on." 5- Act instantly on talent. "If somebody's not good you fire them on the spot. If somebody's great you go all out to get them." Traditional CEOs rely on reports and middle management. Elon ignores the rules to get straight to the truth.
