Elon Musk's "First Principal" Formula (New Thinking)

Stop following the crowd. The world's greatest inventors don't "copy", they think from the ground up. If you want to do something completely new and big, this 5-step formula is for you:

1. Question every assumption

People say, "This is how it works." Ask the question: "Why? Is it true?" Dismiss every old thing until it is proven.

2. Strip the problem to the bone

Break any problem down to its basic truth (Physics). For example, why is a battery expensive? What is the price of its metals? Go to the foundation.

3. Reconstruct

Don't improve the old way, but build a new way from scratch. Instead of "copy-pasting" others, lay your own bricks.

4. Don't take "no" as an answer

When the world says "it's impossible", understand that they lack knowledge. Impossible is just an opinion, not a fact.

5. Feedback Loop

Put your invention or idea in front of people and welcome criticism. Criticism is a gift that allows you to correct a mistake.

This formula is for those who want to change the world.

Don't think, invent!
