The First Principles Method Explained by Elon Musk

Video Overview & Insights

Interview by Kevin Rose

iPhones are expensive and they will get cheaper as time progresses

— @Pippermit77

The benefit of "first principles" thinking? It allows you to innovate in clear leaps, rather than building small improvements onto something that already exists. Musk gives an example of the first automobile. While everyone else was trying to improve horse-drawn carriages, someone looked at the fundamentals of transportation and the combustion engine in order to create a car.

Naturally Musk does give one warning about using first principles for innovating however, "it takes a lot more mental energy."

Using first principles is the only clear way to go after solving any problem . When trying to understand solar energy you must first understand the sun at its optimum time of day can only put out approximately 1000 watts for a period of time before the earth rotation changes . Once you know this first principle any body that says they have a solar panel that can put out more than this , you know it’s bs . That’s from earth in space it’s amazing .

Bro didn't understand and used a bad analogy to show his ignorance. LMAO Just shut up and let the man talk.

Elon tries to make himself look smart by claiming he uses first principles. But he doesn't use them. He goes behind the scenes and does arm twisting to suck off the gub'ment teat.

Euclid's Elements is a foundational mathematical treatise written by Euclid of Alexandria around 300 BC, recognized as the oldest extant large-scale deductive treatment of mathematics and the most successful textbook in history. Comprising 13 books, it systematically presents 465 propositions using a rigorous axiomatic structure based on 5 postulates (axioms) and 5 common notions introduced in Book I.

We average humans instinctively gravitate toward that which is easy, presumably to maximize our attention budget. Musk is a trillionaire because he’s obsessed with going everywhere ELSE. I cannot fathom the mental energy that has required.

Lots of people get stuck copying what's already working and never break out.

You could try ReadShark for quick summaries that help you strip ideas down to the essentials.

That makes it easier to spot big moves instead of tiny tweaks.

How do you get the infrastructure or funds to start that process though? (Making the batteries)

He's right. For every business venture I've started, some shmuck has said "If it was a good idea someone else would have done it already." They're all unemployed now.
