"The end product is very sexy and you know, that's what draws people's attention, but the whole back end of it is what makes it possible."

"I'm trying to correct the misperception that design is the hard part. It is not the hard part."

Loads of insights here from @elonmusk on SpaceX’s 5-Step design and manufacturing process 🚀 ─Check it out🍿📺

I can see a lot of similarities with the general misconception surrounding the startup world:

@elonmusk The idea that unicorns are born out of an "idea", an "Eureka moment" of design inspiration.

@elonmusk The best businesses, especially tech startups (but not only!), are built by grinding, optimising, working out the supply chain, pivoting, developing, re-developing... and doing all that boring, unsexy, hard stuff that takes years to perfect and an great team to deliver.

@elonmusk It's never a one man's idea.

Nor an eureka invention moment.
