I called my engineer friend at SpaceX the other day.
1am Pacific. 3am in Starbase.
He was still in the office and not going home any time soon.
And he was happy. Energized. Because he's directly influencing the course of a multi-planetary future for humanity.
On a fundamental level, this is why Elon companies win. Young, high-competence people are given exceptional individual agency and semi-impossible problems.
And they know that their contribution is essential.
Any company that does this is much more likely to succeed. Elon does this without fail.
Inspires me a lot.

Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) on what it’s like to work at SpaceX:
“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. He knows, ‘cause he’s talking to the people actually doing the work.”
“The best engineers in the world want to work for him, ‘cause he’s the one CEO like this who’s able to work with them as a peer on whatever the technology is.”
“What would be better as an engineer than being able to design a rocket engine with Elon Musk as your engineering partner?”
