I worked at @Tesla for 4+ years in various leadership positions. Here are my biggest takeaways & lessons learned working for @elonmusk 🧵
Delete your ego - it sucks being wrong. It sucks having your stuff not be used. Who cares. What's most important is creating value. Learn from your mistakes, ask for honest feedback, and keep pushing to get better. Get the suck out of your system early.
Culture is paramount - give a reason for people to be inspired to come to work every morning. Make the mission existential. How are we changing the world?
How are we improving people's lives? How do EACH OF US influence that?

Why @Twitter is more important than @tesla $TSLA $TWTR (@elonmusk) 🧵
@Tesla's initial mission was to advance the advent of sustainable transport. Although its goal of 20m cars per year by 2030 is far from achieved, it's absolutely true that it has dramatically accelerated the industry's shift to electrification. We've reached a point of no return.
From this point forward, @Tesla's road will still be difficult, but it's backed by extremely strong financials ($20B+ in cash, 0 debt, insane demand) and a ridiculously talented team, especially in comparison to its peers. This will become clearer in 2023 to the broader market.

Tesla and SpaceX are incredibly successful due to how the businesses were built - remove every conceivable blockade, observe the worst outcomes, creating a priority list of severity, start addressing them so that they never appear ever again. Twitter’s approach will be the same.
The biggest different with Twitter is that it’s public facing, so every change will be felt by the public. Question will be, is the public and/or business partners willing to absorb the very uncomfortable nature of this approach?
The best way for this to work out is for @elonmusk to ensure Twitter is able to operate in this manner during the worst possible economic challenges, and hope that it gives him enough time to get the product to a point that it’s completely undeniable to be used/invested in.
