It’s hard to argue with someone who seems to bring everything to the table. All at once.
Including the kitchen sink.

[Sseeron]

This clip is so short yet cuts so deep. Worth revisiting over and over.

[hdevrede]

Agreed. Strong leadership is essential not to fall into the management mania that plagues all companies that scale.

[leononymous]

Every CEO should watch this. Not necessarily every one of them should adapt it, but he or she should know it.

[palmedor]

What I appreciate in this podcast is that first time I heard someone who quit his job and I still have love and respect for his boss. It’s very refreshing now days. And I am not surprised that boss Elon

[carlettoburacco]

Nooo... that's wrong management.
Let's have a meeting to decide when we will have a meeting to put "the issue" on the then we send an email to everybody in the company ( I.E. when something goes wrong, it's not our fault, everybody knew about it).... and we can have another meeting to appoint a committee to have meetings to discuss "the issue" sorry, I'm a bit lost, what was the issue?

[samuelh]

Would love a mashup with this and Jim Keller saying more or less the same thing. Any cross-sectional clips of Lex interviews where different guests made similar points, or different points, or essentially points amounting to a conversation on one topic, would be very cool to see.

[dnxxnb]

Smart person, with a good hammer... AND good intentions, who thinks of the company above self-interest.

[mustang]

We need to get everyone together and have a meeting to figure out when we're all gonna talk about it.

[rogerstarkey]

Big person
Really smart
Big hammer
.
The difference?
REALLY smart regarding ALL aspects, "business" AND "technical"
That's rare, if not *unique* to this extent.

[keeganantony]

So basically an efficient and benevolent tech dictatorship would be the answer to our problems.

[kompisworld]

It's my job to change and remove processes. Inspiring to hear that Elon works like this.

[Leon]

Hearing people talk online about other people that they’ve never met as if they know everything about them is strange. Lots of parasocial “empaths” in the comments whenever Elon is brought up

[tonygaertner]

This man is the best worker. 4.0 gpa. World class intelligence. But will never be a leader.

[nomonerdene]

that’s great! thank u Lex for conveying these info for us. accessing us for there

[kirillfedtsov]

"best part is no part" what does that mean?

[CamiloSanchez]

I'd never want Elon as my boss no matter how much they paid me. If I am at a level where my talent is needed I am also going to need quality of life.

[wuerbo]

Damn. This is exactly why I want to work in Tesla. I hate that everywhere I go I find this and I am always asking people in power to swing the hammer but nothing ever gets done quickly

[Kaisersozze]

Entropy, the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. "Best part is no part". That explains why Teslas are coming apart because there's not enough screws.
