[00:00:00] Elon Musk: What I'm trying to, uh, have us all just, uh, implement rigorously is, uh, the sort of five step process. Uh, first make your requirements less dumb. Your requirements are definitely dumb. Uh, it does not matter who gave them to you. It's particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements 'cause you might not question them enough.
[00:00:24] Interviewer: Yeah. You might take it as like gospel. Yes. Like, I have to do this thing.
[00:00:27] Elon Musk: Everyone's wrong. No matter who you are. Everyone's wrong some of the time. Um, so make your requirements messed up.
[00:00:33] Uh, then, uh, try very hard to delete the part or process. Um, this is actually very important if you are not, uh, occasionally adding things back in, you are not deleting enough,
[00:00:43] Interviewer: right
[00:00:43] Elon Musk: the, the bias tends to be very strongly towards in, uh, let's add this part or process step in case we need it. But you can, you can basically make in case arguments for so many things.
[00:00:54] Uh, so, uh, so you gotta delete the part or process. This step is super important. Um, and you, and you can't, like hedge your vets.
[00:01:02] Anyway.
[00:01:02] So step one, uh, make a requirements less dumb.
[00:01:05] Step two, delete the part or process step. If you're not adding, if you're not deleting a part or process step at least 10% of the time, basically, if you're not adding things back in 10% of time, you're clearly not deleting enough,
[00:01:15] Interviewer: right
[00:01:15] Elon Musk: um, and, and then, uh, only the, the third step is simplify or optimize, the third step, not the first.
[00:01:24] Um, the reason it's the third step is 'cause it's, it's very common. It's possibly the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist.
[00:01:35] Um, 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.
[00:01:48] Interviewer: Gotcha.
[00:01:48] Elon Musk: Um, but if you dig, if you're digging, you know, your grave, don't dig it faster, stop digging your grave. Right, right, right.
[00:01:56] And then the final step is automate. Um, and, uh, now I have personally, uh, made the mistake of going backwards on all five steps multiple times. So I have to repeat this,
[00:02:10] yes, multiple times on model three, um, where literally I automated, accelerated, simplified, and then deleted.

i dont know about you but
im more confused now than i have clarity
and there are some people who
resonate with that mumbo jumbo which maybe is
because they are not a good communicator neither
fair enough
you can have your strengths somewhere else
but at least there is hope
marky mark zuckerberg is proof of that [2]
from a stuttering computer screen nerd
with decent programming skills
to a nefarious business man and
leader of a company with
fear as its USP
.
.
so yes you can make it
but you might turn into an evil person along the way
are you willing to pay the price for that?
oh, one last thing before you go...
my ex-girlfriend went to virgin island
she hung out with richard branson
and returned as a real woman
with larger breasts
and a stutter
¡Ándale, arriba!
