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
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."

Mental energy. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
@dct4890Using 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 .
@jenko701Bro didn't understand and used a bad analogy to show his ignorance. LMAO Just shut up and let the man talk.
@DISOPtvElon 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.
@Manders-q2yEuclid'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.
@john849wwI've had several company ideas come to my mind since I've watched this
@realdrewberger25We 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.
@Judge2472026: Batterie cost are now 50-100$
@marcoz6801Elon Musk you know the circumstances under which I am right now. I am trying to work for last 2 weeks and set up by constraints and can't do it.

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.

Il est nécessaire de développer le canal de Panama et de le ramener sous la souveraineté américaine le plus rapidement possible. Il doit barrer la route à tout ennemi.

@كوكب-ط7حElon loves first principles but can't apply them to economics, it seems.

@shaikhawais388Bro just used the horse analogy to explain why we should've rely on analogies😂
@BakoenaNkoanyaneLove to Habibi Elon...<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
@Aditya-f8t5zReason by analogy is biggest flaw.

@checkbob-u6cThat just sounds like regular male logic. 'These are what we know are correct, so go from there'
@noone-b4vHow do you get the infrastructure or funds to start that process though? (Making the batteries)
@CombiHarvester-mo4jhMusk before he lost his mind and went fascist.

@MehmetEminAtalarHe'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.
