Elon Musk explains his 5-step algorithm for solving any problem:

"The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist."

"I have this very basic first principles algorithm that I run as a mantra."

Elon breaks it down:

Step 1: Question the requirements.

"Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are always dumb to some degree, no matter how smart the person who gave you those requirements. You have to start there, because otherwise you could get the perfect answer to the wrong question."

Step 2: Try to delete it.

"Try to delete the part or the process step entirely. If you're not forced to put back at least 10% of what you delete, you're not deleting enough. Most people feel like they've succeeded if they haven't been forced to put things back in. But actually they haven't, they've been overly conservative and left things in that shouldn't be there."

Step 3: Optimize or simplify.

"The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist. So you don't optimize until after you've tried to delete."

Step 4: Speed it up.

"Any given thing can be done faster than you think. But you shouldn't speed things up until you've tried to delete it and optimize it otherwise, you're speeding up something that shouldn't exist."

Step 5: Automate.

"And then the fifth thing is to automate it."

Elon explains why the order matters:

"I've gone backwards so many times where I've automated something, sped it up, simplified it, and then deleted it. I got tired of doing that. So that's why I have this mantra."

@andysignore you nailed that review..I couldn't believe i was watching a Spielberg movie, it was awful...I should have just gone to see Michael again.

[Sam Haneef @Asimhaneef]

@mjmusee agreed - and Jaafar looked less like michael and more like Lionel Richie in that scene

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

“Four young teenage boys were brought in, all of whom had been shot in the testicles.”

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Nick Maynard, a British surgeon who has worked repeatedly in Gaza since 2010, describes a pattern of shootings at food distribution points where children were shot in specific body parts on different days.

“The pattern of injuries that we all witnessed was so striking, that it was it was clearly beyond coincidental, and it seemed to us that there was a game of target practice.”

He also details quadcopters hovering over tents and spraying bullets indiscriminately, and recounts the death of six neonates left in incubators at Al-Nasr pediatric hospital after Israeli forces evacuated the hospital and left them to rot.

@BootsRiley I really want to see it, but sadly no screenings in singapore 😢

[KumoriRaver @kumoriRaver]

Yo, The Community ATL turned Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature” into a straight-up spiritual experience! 🙌🏾 Dathan Thigpen cooked up these harmonies and the choir ATE. This is what happens when talent meets soul! This sounds so beautiful 😳❤️

[Sam Haneef @Asimhaneef]

@BootsRiley I need to know....is this film gonna be released in cinemas in singapore?

[power stone 3 when @MCSerf]

“I Love Boosters” was insane and incredibly fun. Boots Riley directs movies like they’re going to execute him tomorrow

[sky @tosevensky]

PUT MICHAEL JACKSON BAD TOUR LIVE ON IMAX PLEASE

[RIHPRINT @therihprint]

If we are talking about sales, popularity, & success it’s Michael Jackson

But if we are talking about cultural impact & influence, it’s still Michael Jackson

However if we are talking about talent, creativity, stage presence, literally everything else it’s still Michael Jackson

[Sam Haneef @Asimhaneef]

@BriMalandro Such a weird question to ask a 10-year old..like do you want him to discuss demographics? 🤷‍♂️

[Paul Graham @paulg]

There is nothing more powerful than well-informed optimism. It has to be well-informed though. The "everything will be fine" type of optimism may also be somewhat useful, but it's not as useful as the "Hmm, what if we tried x?" kind.

[Sam Haneef @Asimhaneef]

@BeccaRBRoyalty one million percent agree...its like if watching the full moon was a song

[Sam Haneef @Asimhaneef]

@ThomasConnorsJr @MJJJusticePrjct I forgot how good this short film was...Michael's acting was pretty dramatic!

[Led By Donkeys @ByDonkeys]

Immigration makes Britain brilliant.

[Miles To Go @milestogo_in]

@chartdata A man who dominated CDs, cassettes, radio, MTV, and now Spotify, across 4 different music eras. That’s not popularity, that’s immortality.

@RandyRRQuaid @MJInnocentUK Sneddon was a cold man

[Randy Quaid @RandyRRQuaid]

My career was one film after another, sometimes two at once. I didn’t have time to know Michael Jackson or his work until I was maliciously prosecuted by the same office he was. Once that happened, I knew one side of Michael intimately: the anguish of being falsely accused and maliciously prosecuted his spirit guided me, what it does to you, and the facts of being falsely accused by the same office. I have investigated every business connection we had, and it all leads to one man, the crook of all Hollywood crooks. The Santa Barbara DA offices have all been trained by and revere Sneddon. They still have Michael’s mugshot proudly displayed on their walls. They are sick and must be dismantled. They run unopposed one after another. Don’t let them get away with it @FBIDirectorKash

[Sam Haneef @Asimhaneef]

@FilmUpdates we going over 1B for Michael

[Sam Haneef @Asimhaneef]

@ryangrim @shaunking That dystopian future we feared has arrived, and nobody cares, because it hasn't affected them yet.
