How SpaceX Makes Things 1000X Cheaper and Ten Times Faster
The real secret of SpaceX is an operating system built around Time Over Money. It is the governing law with extreme loop compression (making every development cycle radically faster). In aerospace cost = people * time compressing time by 10* automatically makes things 10-1000* cheaper. Musk's team ruthlessly deletes bureaucracy, sets impossible deadlines as forcing ... Read more

TESLA HAS 1000+ ROBOTAXI -WHY ONLY 400 COUNTED ?
There is the wrong assumption of the accuracy of crowd robotaxi counts BUT only 139 out of 200 Waymos counted in Austin with same methods. At least 30% undercounted. Harder to find robotaxi (Waymo-Tesla) in the SF Bay Area. 67 Waymos counted in SF Bay Area out of 1000 Waymo claimed. I believe the main ... Read more
