Elon Musk's thinking

It's Saturday already na ka.....so fast ka!  


These days, I'm really hooked following news of 'Mission to the Moon' on Facebook ka.  On Oct 12, they shared Elon Musk's thinking which I found very interesting....so interesting that I had to go to 'Medium' to get to read the full article ka. 

I watched several interviews about him before and to me, Elon Musk is extremely intelligent/genius....a man who doesn't like to sleep and wishes he could have many more hours to work!. Um! doesn't sound right to me on this aspect ka.He's known for his extensive reading and working with top-level thinkers as well. 

Read and mingle with deep thinkers!
 
He is CEO of deep tech companies like Tesla and SpaceX. We're familiar with the names and some products like its electric cars. I don't have much knowledge about satellites but saw the numbers a while ago.  From my search, it's now around 775 satellites for internet access/Starlink sent from SpaceX and I think the news I listened to related to this effort of his too ka.

Thomas Oppong wrote 'Elon Musk's Rule for learning Anything Smarter and Faster' on Sept 29....a 4-minute read! Time spent even on reading means more these days as there're lots to digest. Something I have to improve about my egroup messages too ka so I have bolded under each main paragraph this time na ka!)

Be concise with key learnings to share! 

As for his two rules: here they are ka:

Rule #1 make sure you're building a tree of knowledge!

Identify the different parts of the tree with the trunk as strongest to understand the fundamental principles, e.g. the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or else there is nothing for them to hang on to.

'Rule #2 you can't remember what you can't connect!

Whatever he works on, he's super ambitious like setting up SpaceX to go to the Moon/Mars. Before then, he needed more funding and so he tried to identify connections of this project with the rest of all the companies he set up to finally sort out his funding challenges. 

Like any new system, get a solid hold of the foundation and link it properly, it'll grow exponentially!
 
This Facebook news program quoted Henry Ford''s statement which reads, 'If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.'

Then, the key anchor, Khun Rawit Hanutsaha (Srichand CEO) added on Elon Musk's'"first principle thinking", giving an example that it was like building a rocket which must not be based on NASA's investments. Rather, Elon would ask how to build one, what components did it need? How much would each component cost? He doesn't care to see what others have done which ends up having his own products much cheaper than NASA. 

First principle thinking to think anew as if we were the first to do it could be powerful!

How do you like his thinking ka? what lessons have you learned mai ka?

Happy weekend ka.
