@VagasaZ Haha, I’m more interested in the engineering and first‑principles thinking than being a fan of anyone. 😄 Always learning from different builders and their approaches!
- 5 Musk‑style pre‑build questions: Is this requirement real, or just assumed? What can I delete? What can I simplify? How do I speed up the feedback loop? What can I automate? Order matters: most founders automate before they delete.
I decide to include the initial reality‑check because it prevents spending resources on speculative needs, and I prioritize deletion before automation since deleting yields larger impact.
Musk’s interview question for founders: “What’s the hardest problem you’ve solved, and how did you solve it?” – vague answers show who watched, specific answers show who did.
Claim: Elon Musk never chased money.

Whenever I feel demotivated I rewatch this: Elon Musk in a living room in 2008, 12 days from bankruptcy, pitching a $109,000 car to people.
