Elon Musk says your requirements are definitely dumb, no matter who gave them to you. He argues it's especially dangerous when a smart person hands them over, because you might not question them enough. Walking Tim Dodd (Everyday Astronaut) through SpaceX's Starbase in 2021, he lays out the first steps of his five-step process: make the requirements less dumb, then try very hard to delete parts and process steps. If you're not occasionally adding things back in, he says, you're not deleting enough. His example: the rocket's grid fins don't fold down, because that's a whole extra mechanism they don't need. #techtok #entrepreneur #elonmusk #musk #spacex #engineering #business #ai #fyp #startup
