      If you look at the SpaceX job board online, most positions include the phrase "you will own [job description]". Not "your responsibilities will include", but "you will OWN". This is not only hugely empowering to the employee - who is essentially empowered to act as if they were a sole proprietor entrepreneur, with all the motivational impetus such unlimited risk/reward endeavours offer/impose - but, it's also hugely value added for the organization; no one gets to pass the buck to the department head and claim that they can only, or only have to perform as well as they are managed. Because the buck doesn't just stop at the department head; it stops with every single person in the department. You OWN your work. With all the potential up and down side that that implies.

    Say what you want to about Elon, this man is a mental powerhouse the amount of information that he processes each one of the things he talked about from robotics to engineering to rocketry to production lines is all its own field, and he’s not a master of all of those necessarily, but he has more than a working knowledge of all of them, and can weave them together. And it also shows how hard it is to have groups of people working together that’s what most of the CEOs job is is getting the kings out of people, not communicating, etc..

      Yeah, definitely. I love how Tim adapted and corrected his approach when he started interrupting Elon multiple times. Most people don't get that. Well, correction: NOBODY EVER gets that before ruining a great interview. It's a difficult thing to master, particularly with someone like Elon, because his speech is always punctuated with long, awkward pauses where he's busy formulating the next words out of his mouth - and interviewers just LOVE to jump in right there in interrupt the process. Elon always tends to roll right over top of them, anyway, when they do that. But he only had to do it 2 or 3 times with Tim, and then Tim started shutting up until it was clear Elon was totally done speaking. Great job!

There are always ways to push more, increase quality and increase profits, all while balancing out making the workers happy. Alot of the time as well, tooling is special, so now you're putting R&D into making the tools that make your product.

Going from Carbon to Stainless Steel for the frame and tanks doesn't seem logical, until you realize that it would save you about 100,000 dollars on each prototype. You cut the cost of 99% of the project by 10-15%, you save shite tons of money.

He makes his billions flipping the table on the Big car and Aerospace manufactures that have been stuck in 1960's living fat, I have no problem. He funnels it into a actual cheap rocket launch system. Which is one of the coolest things ever done. I just have a problem with some of his... eccentrics, and that his companies treat many of it's employees as disposable.
