Elon Musk Biography

Maybe Musk isn't a genius; he's just like the bosses in our country, good at exploiting employees~
The book doesn't depict geniuses, but it does depict madmen.
If geniuses are on the left, madmen are on the right, then Musk is a genius, but I didn't feel the look of a genius in the book.
If we only summarize Musk's success in the book, there are five points:
0/ Pie in the sky: Whether it's the ideal model of PayPal (solving payment difficulties / similar to Alipay), or SpaceX, Tesla, GROK, Hyperloop (described less in the book), Neuralink, they are all advanced concepts, except that the realization of PayPal is related to him, the others seem to benefit more from employee contributions, perhaps this is the underlying motivation of Wall Street or Silicon Valley;
1/ First Principles: Not proposed by Musk, but he is the most well-known executor;
2/ Five-step work method: Summarized by Musk during the founding of SpaceX and Tesla;
3/ Extreme exploitation of employees: Whether treating employees as tools to be casually dismissed or setting impossible work goals, on the positive side, this is to stimulate employees' abilities and test their work attitude; on the negative side, this is exploitation;
4/ Extreme self-exploitation: He not only exploits employees but also exploits himself, which is much better than domestic bosses who only exploit employees.
