As I've always said about Elon is that money means nothing to him, it's a means to make his ideas become reality... It's just a "instrument" to further his "visions"... 😁
It’s doable. My theory is that the first thing you need to accomplish is to get rid of any impressionability you have concerning others perception of you. If you don’t give a fuck how others see you, you are FREE to do you.
"Musk pulls out his phone and starts making calls. Not emotional calls. Engineering calls. "What failed. When can we fix it. When's the next launch." His voice doesn't change. His face doesn't change. The rocket that just cost $60 million is already in the past. The next one is all that exists.
She said it was the most unsettling thing she'd ever witnessed. Not because he was cold. Because he genuinely wasn't affected. The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data. An experiment that produced results. Results that inform the next experiment.
This is why he wins. Not because he doesn't fail. He fails more spectacularly than anyone in history. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action.
Most people lose not because they fail but because they spend weeks processing the failure before acting again. Musk spends zero seconds. The gap between failure and next attempt is a phone call."
Thomas Edison said he hadn't failed over 1,000 times to find a proper lightbulb filament. He had found 1,000 things that didn't work. It was just data to him also.
His first wife…”some people cry”… well, maybe SHE would cry. Most actual grown up men don’t cry when something goes wrong. She is describing an actual adult, who quickly sees a problem and takes action to deal with it. Okay, Elon probably processes and reacts faster, but making this quality seem superhuman is not a good idea. We need to bring back raising kids to be tough, practical and rational.
Interesting. My curiosity is how this fits into the Q posts about him and Space X?
If the Q posts about Musk aren’t misinformation, maybe it’s easy to brush off failures when you know you’re not really paying for it. And, it is actually mandatory you keep moving forward because your benefactors demand it.
Even if a fire wasn't lit under his ass, it's a good mindset to have. Failure also is a pathway to success. So i'm sometimes what you do doesn't work, and that's what leads you to a successful path. I am ambivalent about elon musk, because I just don't know where his loyalties are. But even solidly good people could do this.
For those who haven't lived through it, or watched it, this captures exactly the driving ethos of the U.S. ICBM race in the 1960s. There was failure after failure of Atlas and Titan, and the developmental launches kept on going like clockwork. Each failure was retrospectively analyzed, the fault found, a correction engineered, and the available next model in the production lineup would be equipped with the modified part or subsystem. (Meanwhile, you kept firing according to schedule. You were still gathering data.) The program went on, because it was a race to see who would be able to return fire with nuclear weapons.
This ethos was behind the incredible drive and attainment of the manned space program. The next launch counted more than the last launch. This is why I have known from the beginning that Musk was on the right track. Because he had the Right Stuff. He didn't cry over spilt milk. He was focused on getting the job done right. That is what engineers do.
(Been there, done that. We were in the midst of low-rate production of ROLAND 2 and had an ignition failure of the propulsion system. I figured out the problem and we tested an experimental motor to confirm the explanation. Problem solved. Easy solution. We were still in production.)
Yes! Its called testing to failure. You push your product to the point of blowing up. Then go in and find out why. Fix that, then push till the next one blows up. If you have the resources to continue the testing, then its no problem. And Elon has the resources.
This is amazing and interesting. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action.
We all need.to learn this.

100%👍👌
Man, I wish I was better at this. The benefits to one's sanity would be worth it, let alone thr financial success it has brought Elon.
Not too many can do this.

Sometimes you have to lose to win.

My dad always told me, "you never fail, you just find out truth".
I've held that dear and close to me navigating life. He's right
My parents did the same- failure isn't failure, its a learning tool, a lesson
Yes! 100%. We just might not always like what we learn
This should be the main speech at every high school and college graduation.

This is basically resilience 101
Musk is autistic.

👍👌
On making sixty million from Paypal: "Okay, I'm going to put thirty million into an electric car company and thirty million into a rocket company."
"But Elon, don't you want to live a little and enjoy some?"
"No. Thirty million each with not a penny left over... and, by the way, can I sleep on your couch? I don't have a home right now."
Exactly 👌👌
Thanks.
This information raises my opinion of him even more. Think where'd we be if everyone could do this!
