IBM built a cloud of suits to make sure the CEO never talked to anyone actually doing the work. @elonmusk does the opposite.
"Elon's method is extreme focus on substance. Extreme focus on getting to the truth.
In any organization with multiple layers, there's compounding lies. Each layer wants to look good. Each layer puts a little spin on things.
If one layer lies to the next layer above it, maybe that's okay. When that happens two or three times, the lies compound. If that happens six times, the lies really compound. If that happens 12 times, the CEO has no idea what's happening.
That was IBM.
By the time I got there as an intern, I calculated there were 12 layers of management between me and the CEO.
They even had a term for it: the great cloud. A cloud of men in gray business suits who followed the CEO around and prevented him from ever talking to anybody who was actually doing the work.
When he would come to visit, it was like a visit from the king. A completely impervious bubble.
That's the polar opposite of the Elon approach."

Marc Andreessen on why Starlink may be the most misunderstood success story in tech right now:
“Elon’s not the first guy who said we’re going to do satellite-based internet access.
There was Bill Gates, Craig McCaw. Complete catastrophe, total bankruptcy, complete disaster.
Elon’s like, ‘I know, I’m going to do another three of those. We’re starting as a side project at the rocket ship company.’
If the rockets are reusable, we’re going to be launching them all the time. What’s going to go in the rockets? I could wait for the customers to come to me, or I could just put up my own satellites.
Anybody who knew anything about the history of satellites knew that was the craziest idea in the world.
And of course it’s like this giant success. It’s the side project.
It’s clearly the least studied and understood thing I know of in the world right now.”

![Great men of history had little to no introspection.
The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself.
@pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about:
David: You don't have any levels of introspection?
Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible.
David: Why?
Marc: Move forward. Go!
I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home.
David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection.
Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self.
He just woke up and was like:
I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again.
Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective.
All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s.
Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff.
The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology.
And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual.
We need to criticize the individual.
The individual needs to self criticize.
The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past.
It never resonated with me.](https://cdn.socialpruf.com/twitter/thumbnails/2033297822691516853)

This is the best founder you've never heard of. Adam Foroughi's company prints $5 billion in cash a year with just 400 people. When his stock price dropped by 92%, he borrowed money to buy back $6 billion in stock. That bet made the company more than $60 billion. The entire C-suite is just 4 people. To this day, Adam approves every hire. This episode has the highest insight-to-minute ratio of any conversation I've had so far.

"I'd pay my entire fortune to have one more night with my parents."
"I think about my parents. My dad died in 2004. My mom died in 1987, and I still have conversations with them. I ask for forgiveness for them, and I give them forgiveness. I'd pay my entire fortune to have one more night with my parents.
That'd be so great to be able to tell them how much I appreciate all the things they did and how much I loved them. And also, 'hey, Mom, I turned out okay.' So, we'll call that a minor regret in my life that I couldn't make my mother happy on her deathbed."

“I lived in a building in New York. Living above me was Martin Scorsese.
I would go visit him at night. Every night Scorsese watched a movie.
Every single night.
I’d bring take out and listen and ask him questions. It was like taking a master’s degree in film.
He knew every old director.
I learned to be able to talk to Stanley Kubrick. He never had an agent except me.
I could talk to him because Marty educated me.
I did a lot of reading and I knew about those old directors. I had all of our people trained in the history of film and television.
I bought every book that was published.
I bought a book I’ll never forget: The History of the Emmy’s. It listed all the Emmy awards in history.
I made our people watch every film in the history of the Academy Awards that won Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Writer.
They got familiar with who these people are and what they contributed.
And by doing so our people were so fluent in their business. They could talk television, they could talk movies, they could talk music.
They knew history.
Past is prologue. If you know history you can pretty much predict the future.”

When @elonmusk started @SpaceX, he didn't ask for a contract. He rewrote the terms.
@EricJorgenson explains why:
"Elon went to the people actually awarding these contracts and said 'We want an outcome-based contract. I want to be incentivized to drive down the cost. I want to be incentivized to hit the deadlines.'
For all the talk that happens about him doing things that have never been done before, the things that he's doing that have never been done before are because he drives cost down.
And he drives cost down because the vision is not 'Make as much money as I can.' It wasn't 'Start a new aerospace company that's as profitable as possible.' It was 'Get us to Mars.'
That is a heroic thing to go in and say 'I know I could get paid X to do mediocre work, but I actually want to take the risk. I want to burn the boats. I want my back to the wall. I want to know that we have to clear this threshold that nobody has ever crossed before. And I want to go tell my team that because that's how we're actually going to achieve this objective that everybody thinks I'm crazy for setting.'"

SpaceX's shocking competence:
"Somebody I know once worked for
@SpaceX and they were asked what it was like, and he said, "It's like being dropped into a zone of shocking competence."
Everybody is ultra competent.
And the reason everybody's ultra competent is because if they're not, Elon sniffs it out and fires them.
Elon's talking to the people actually doing the work. At this point having done this for 25 years he can sniff this out really quickly.
The best engineers in the world want to work for him because he's the one CEO who's able to work with them as a peer on whatever the technology is.
