Thing that struck me most was that Elon is an excellent email communicator. There’s no fluff or room for misinterpretation.

The best engineers that I worked with that were 100x engineers and some of the most intelligent people I ever worked with

But honestly they weren’t that much better technically than others I knew (some were better and would write more code faster) - what they were really good at - great communicators, and that’s why their ideas got buy in from the team / management etc

Often they would tell a story or a need of what internal or external customers seemed to need or needed. Then they would come up with some way to build it quick or convince management to put their weight behind it. Once they were done they would showcase it or folks would use it and that would solidify their story that they would tell

They did this over and over again at rapid speed and that would be how theyd do 100x

I think what was striking was their ability to be 100% in the engineering / code / hardware/ test and in the details but also still bring it back to a specific narrative that they were pushing 

This ability to zoom in and zoom out was the key - great communicator plus great technical executor put them in the top 0.1% in already 1% of top engineers imo

fluent model shifting, long term, short term, macro, micro
