Elon's Algorithm

How to build like Elon Musk

Question every requirement

Ensure each requirement is tied to a person, not just a department. Challenge and refine these requirements.

Delete any part or process you can

Aim to streamline by removing excess, but be prepared to reintroduce at least 10% to ensure thorough refinement.

Simplify and optimize

Focus on efficiency, but only for components that are essential.

Accelerate cycle time

Improve process speeds, but only after the first three steps have been thoroughly applied.

Automate

The final step, to be approached with caution, ensuring all previous steps have been completed and validated.
