I admire Elon Musk so much!
He’s a flake who thinks the earth will become uninhabitable and mankind will have to live on Mars.... after it is terraformed.....
Q: Did the team know that Musk wanted them running 24/7? If so, and they obviously knew they weren’t, why didn’t someone call him and say that they needed more personnel to get it done?
Why did he need to call a meeting at any hour of the day for something that should have been dealt with far earlier and possibly just with a phone call?
Easy to hire that fast with the scale of bucks this all-time greatest government grifter.
IMO there is no forgiving him his 5G satellites. The electric car and driverless truck scams are no great contributions either.
On the surface, no problems with this move personally, especially if the place was supposed to be a 24/7 operation already. I won’t go so far as to say I admire the guy though, just that it’s good to see there are still people in the world that will work for what they want.
I was reading a bio on Steve Jobs, and Musk reminds me strongly of him.
On the “Reality Distortion Field” that surrounded Steve Jobs:
“The first and I think foremost way is that it was all about his belief that the impossible was possible. So when you worked with Steve Jobs everything that seemed impossible he made possible or he made you make it possible which is even more important and that became part of the reality distortion field. So that was the really the biggest part of that, was making the impossible possible.”
I’ve worked closely with a number of self-made billionaires over my career. One of which has won 18 Indianapolis 500 mile races. They all have very similar perspectives about work. 7 days/week, 16 or more hours per day. They become even more single focused when there is a big deal going down, sometimes going days without sleep.
They pay a huge personal price for their success. Many are divorced and have tragic personal issues. Family time is nothing more than an entry on their calendars. Work/business is why they live. Family is generally just a distraction for them.
The kid in me, who grew up reading Asimov and Heinlein, is buoyed reading a sentence like that.
Love him or hate him, he is brilliant. He definitely looks at things differently and, IMO, he is our modern equivalent to Thomas Edison.
Those who see just #10, the end goal.
And all of the rest of us who see #1 through #9 to get to that goal.
Shades of Jeremy Irons in “Margin Call”.
