Isn’t this “idiot index” like a basic business concept.

I am permanently banned from tweeting on X!
When I wrote, "What tweet was in violation of what rule?", I received no response.

Elon Musk "absolute free expression" is a lie.
FIX IT, ELON MUSK.
Now let's hear about X-formerly-known-as-Twitter. Then, maybe pay tribute to Musk's politics ("My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci" -EM). Or, are you trolling us for clicks?
There are many types of idiot indexes. The leader that would employ bullying and berating would get a higher idiot rating than a leader who could achieve the same with kinder manners.
So let’s just use more expensive raw materials, and the idiot index will improve 😁
Spoken like a true bureaucrat.

Wow, don't ever tell Elon how much Twitter was.🤣
Musk said Twitter wasn't about the money before he even purchased it. It was about having a platform for free speech. That said, X is doing fine.
@jamescarter8311 must be an idiot to believe that. He was forced to buy Twitter, just FYI.
Well, there is no much material in Twitter so the ratio is 40 Bilions totally inefficient.
They lied and a lib "judge...lol" OK'd it
@@jamescarter8311He was forced to buy Twitter. Stop the cap!
Elon: "If you don't know this weird accounting metric that I invented, I'll treat you like shit."
This was not unknown, it was widely communicated within the company. Managers should know common terms used in the business especially if they are part of the company's unique approach to business.
Yeah! That was a pretty dick move to do to someone in a meeting. Why not just share with everyone the idea of the metric; and then, ask them to think about it. I suppose there are different management / leadership styles. And sometimes, you need to use negative feedback to motivate people. The AMA defines a manager as someone who accomplishes work through others. In order to do so, you need to understand what motivates people and you should also have some understanding of the factors influencing the lives of your immediate / direct reports.
That's pretty much every software engineer
Knowing how much the materials cost is a "weird accounting metric" to you? Elon was right and you're dumb and soft. Cry about it.
if only they put you in charge bro. then we'd see REAL results.
Isn't the Idiot Index just a very small part of the complex Cost Management that is done by every manufacturer in the world?

Sure it is.

Some parts have low material cost but need to be produced on expensive machinery, others using ip. So often the cost of materials is irrelevant. What's relevant is whether the part is good value or not.
Baselines are necessary. Without the "Idiot Index" how would you evaluate?
@@sean-colinfort2111 its dumb. For example, the raw material cost of a quality watch is about $1. Would you spend a million $ setting up a fa tory to make one and hire those with knowhow to operate the factory and then do all the testing just to make a one piece or would you just pay the $500 and save yourself a million bucks.
@@sean-colinfort2111 Idiot index is idiotic.
Your first port of call is to check what are the most expensive parts, functions, procedures etc in your operation. Then you see if you can do without them. Next you see if you can BUY them parts cheaper. In a market economy there is a reason for the price of any goods and services and that market price is usually a good indication of the true cost of if. The cost of setting up production and the capital investment needed usually means that usually means that no single consumer of goods can cost effectively produce those goods. Like car manufactures do not manufacture steel, even Apple does not actually manufacture the M-chips, they have them made.
And on a higher business level making anything at lower cost usually means driving the price of what you are selling down as the competition follows. So you end up doing more and getting less per unit which makes it harder to make a buck. High price low volume is much easier that high volume low price. Especially if the demand is limited ... and this begs the question for the demand of payloads that Super Heavy can carry.... the word idiotic springs to mind.
If a pump is made out of titanium and costs thousands of dollars to machine, why not make it out of cheaper steel? A titanium pump is good value, but a steel one would be better value
@@snakevenom4954 Wood would be cheaper, pitty all those stupid engineers at the other aerospace companies did not realise this and it took the genius of Musk to realise that.
The idiot index is what the name says.
One Snapdragon SoC can cost $100, but the raw parts, ten microgram of silicon, one gram of epoxy resin may be cost five cents. That has a very high idiot index, and there is no way to reduce it...
I am mentally appending an " 's" to make it an "Idiot's Index" and filing it with the same management-babble as OODA loop, i.e, things that sound plausible if you don't know anything about a particular subject and therefore are highly appealing to higher management.
Now imagine the index for software...
What it does is force you to look at the high ratio parts and see if you can reduce their cost it doesn't mean you can reduce it.
I dont think you get the point, and ill use your example. That chip gets cheaper every year as manufacturing processes improve. The silicone didnt get any cheaper in the last 30 years but the performance per gram of silicone has exponentially increased without a corresponding price increase. The idiot index on cpus is closing
Different industries will have different baseline
What's the idiot index on buying Twitter for 40 Billion?
We'd have to know the price of all the fundamental components of twitter's infrastructure and you could create the ratio. But I have a feeling you think the idiot index is a ranking not a ratio. Good job
Musk was forced to pay that much by the courts. He wanted to back out when he found out that he'd been misled about the real state of Twitter.
@@gramma677 still, ratio gives ranking. Good job not seeing that.
What is the cost for abdicating responsibility to fundamental human rights - including Free Speech?
Where you been over the last 6 years, bro??
While you are entitled to your thought and comment(s) - it stinks.
You sh!t the bed, bro.
You cannot put a price on free speech. It's worth more than life.
His 'idiot index' is itself not very bright. For example, with microchips, the cheapest chips are quite cheap, and the most expensive ones are quite pricey, yet the cost of 'raw materials' is trivial in each case. You need to employ a much more comprehensive paradigm to judge what is a reasonable cost for 'item A'.
There are quite a few things it doesn't apply to. At least microchips have silicon cost. Software products are virtual. Doesn't mean 0 cost. It is cost of the service. In the industry Elon Musk operates, idiot index is a way to triage parts whose production can be potentially streamlined.
Yes, it's well named in that sense. You do of course need to make things efficient, but the way it's presented doesn't value the design and cost of making the parts etc.
@@sriharshacv7760 Yes, but consider the cost of 'raw' materials for microchips. The actual raw cost of sand is about $55/ton. That doesn't mean anything, really. You have to at least talk about a silicon ingot, which has LOTS of special processing involved in specialized facilities, etc. So it is not a 'raw' material. His idiot index does not really work.
You sound like all those who "fight the system" when it comes to implementing the Standards for Cost accounting systems - claiming that it is an absurdity to have to write down which jobs and how long they have used a hammer.
Like in everything when it comes to analysis -therer is a "general" category. No - nails are not individuallyrecordedd inthe warehousee records.
Generally there are not rules that apply to everything. He is not making micro chips, and if he was he would obviously understand that final price / raw materials does not make sense.
This is a pretty stupid index.
Lets take some products with Really large ratios.
Product. A silicon chip. Raw material. A pinch of sand.
Product, a single strand of DNA containing the genome for a custom designed organism. Input, raw amino acids.
In the DNA example, designing the custom life form is going to take a lot of smart biologists, who want paid. Designing chips takes a lot of smart chip designers. The equipment to turn silicon into the chip is also expensive.
Labor and equipment costs are real and important and having them be larger than material costs isn't a sign that anything is wrong.
Behind the lenses he is looking at these components to answer the age old question "Is it worth manufacturing the item on my own?" vs purchasing it.
This isn't just an Elon thing. This is a hard lesson about the corporate world. When you have a crucial deliverable, bosses don't care about what's going on in your private life. It's not fun, but it is the truth!!!
One of the things wrong in our society

Musk is an idiot
as an industrial engineer I can say that only an idiot could think about an index like that
I feel the same ! I realized musk was a con man years ago with the Hyperloop, boring company etc.... Luckily, he has a church of followers that are better idiots !
This is why engineers are managed by accountants.
Anyone who says "I know more about manufacturing than anyone alive" is displaying the dunning kruger effect... they are an idiot is what I'm trying to say.
Why is it wrong to do things efficiently and spend less money?
@@ophello
nothing is wrong with efficiency, but there are some rules in order to set an efficiency index properly.
One of those rules is "relevance".
In any industrial processes there are many costs beyond "raw material".
Sometimes the raw material costs could be irrelevant.
This dumb index would consider "idiotic" all the following:
farmaceutical (main cost: R&D)
semiconductors (main cost: equipment)
aerospace (main costs: all the above plus advanced quality control in order to prevent the destruction of the whole vehicle)
can't decide if elon is the world's smartest pseudo-intellectual or the world's dumbest intellectual
Neither. More like a cult leader of the world's biggest cult.
The only one who will not be held accountable for a bad idea is Elon himself.
He's the boss of his companies and loses money from his bad ideas, he can't fire himself can he? Try harder Elon hater.
Because he has points he has achieved by creating Paypal , Tesla , Space X, Open AI , Boring company , Neuralink etc. how many people do you know who have at-least close to innovative companies Elon has invested , worked and driven in a leadership role. Your competence matters in real life. If you are Jay Z people will value your opinion in music even if your life is questionable, same with Elon . He excels in working in Tech
@@sa34w I think you need to read up a bit on what he has “created”. For sure not PayPal and OpenAI he has sued. Boring company is basically gone and X is down the drain. Weird that you didn’t mention the extremely successful hyper loop project that he started and fooled many to invest time and money into for his own personal benefits. Tesla and SpaceX are successful but I can assure you that starship will never land on the moon.
Oh, he is held accountable. But his accounts can afford to lose a few billion. Only if he does too much stupid stuff he'll actually feel the consequences.
He did none of this. His dad's money did. He has an iq of an average entitled frat dude. @@sa34w
I've had the chance to know managers from Tesla. Vision and capabilities aside, Elon is frequently cruel and capricious in how he treats people. He's a nightmare boss. People leave scarred.
In this case though, the guy was the financial analyst for the Raptor, how would he not know raw steel price is about $700 a ton??? Or all the raw cost prices of materials for that matter?
Yet tesla and SpaceX employees have rated the companies as the best places to work. And elon has been ranked in the top 5 best CEOs by his employees.
@@island97 Tesla?? The one where black employees have said that they were racially abused and said that managers call them "working on the plantation"? THAT tesla?
@@island97 Seems nonsensical to rank a CEO highly when they're driven to attain a nonsensical goal. Rushing to get to Mars at this time, or in the foreseeable future, is unjustifiable rubbish
@@AlainDessureault are you dumb? You are aware SpaceX launch astronauts and supplies to the ISS ?? They launch satellites for both private and public sector.
By your logic. 98% of CEO run nonsensical compaines therefore their performance and management means nothing ?
The cost of machining is the only thing that adds value to raw materials. It would be something like human labor * technique + raw materials * automation squared. Obviously something like AI could be used to up the weight of "technique", but that'll add a bit to labor cost because you need more specialized labor. This "Idiot Index" is basically the exact same process every corporation is using for cost savings, and something close to Capitalism's push to make everything, including labor itself some kind of market externality they can push the cost of off on someone else's shoulders, so they can steal that value as profit as well. Literally nothing new here to see, aside from tricking people to do rocket science for minimum wage.
Seriously! The exclusion of the labor in the cost is some kind of fantasy
I wonder what the idiot index is on a CPU? The value of a CPU can't be judged by its raw materials. And what about steel? What's the cost of coal? How about you create your own steel plant? Expertise needed to combine the raw materials has to be considered. And can you obtain those raw materials at the same price as a company that buys large amounts of this raw materials at a discount? Is buying the equipment to process the raw materials cost effective when you're not in that business.
It looks that Elon learned that primitive capitalist lesson very well. Still his water tanks rockets will never take people to Mars in this shape. He needs more innovation than material so that ratio will exceed a lot more the idiot index .
its called vertical integration@@GizmoMaltese
@@Sal3600 I know it's called vertical integration. I'm just pointing that just looking at raw materials is rather pointless in all but the most basic parts.
I think some context is missing here. I work in manufacturing as a machinist. It's been my experience that it is true, that engineers will occasionally over-engineer a part. Eg; opt to machine a part, that would be cheaper to fabricate.
But fabrication comes with its own costs as well. Fabricated parts are usually much cheaper, but they also can require large costs in tooling to get to that point...and if you aren't running large volumes of parts, the cost can be counter-productive.
You don't want to spend millions in fabrication tooling, when you're focused on low volume prototype parts. In that case, the high cost of machining, might still be the better way to go.
Also, certain parts are high precision for a reason, and there is really no getting around it.
When the video said that "Elon cares about humanity, but in a macro sense", I found that kind of troubling. It initially implies that he's potentially willing to cut corners and make sacrifices...maybe where human lives are concerned?
90,000$ for a bag of bushings..its that sort of thing he was talking about.
He's on record stating matter of factly that the Mars project WILL cause some deaths, that it is inevitable, and that anyone who can't swallow that fact need not apply.
Sounds harsh but he's probably right and it is better to rip that bandaid off sooner rather than later. Frankly I find the lack of sugarcoating refreshing.
elon really pulled "physics doesn't care about your feeling" LOL
it's bold to think that he is an embodiment of physics lmao.
But jokes aside - it was just his excuse to handwave away criticism sent his way.
Super cool story. Now I'm thinking, how do you use the idiot index on software?
By paying less to engineers
Depends if you are talking about developing software or purchasing it.
how much does each feature cost, and how much value does it add, and what are mission critical portions.
@@LuisSierra42😂 true

Don't get confused between the "idiot index" and "being an idiot". One is an analytical took - the other is a painful reality and fact when it comes to DC.

Launching Rockets from Balloons is About to be a Thing, But We Need a Better Name than “Rockoons”
I am not sure, whether I like the name *Rockoons* . But I like the idea and we should forget about classic Rockets.

Specially when the guy is getting paid 2-3 times more than the average person in the same job title.

It's their sole responsibility to know. Pathetic that people try to excuse it. I'd get it if he was getting paid below average.
I know several people at our company who's job is anything but in the economical department, but they well know whats bad money for the company in terms of the products sold/produced.
The way you repeatedly saying f ing f ing .. its hilarious 😆 😂
I was impressed by Musk's comment about "people having a strong feedback loop". If you have never taken control theory in college, you may not grasp the power of feedback loops to control the world. Almost all control equipment in the whole world uses some form of closed loop feedback. In that class, and a few years later in my first job, I realized that feedback was the key to people being able to improve things. No one can get things right the first time, except by accident, and no one executes perfectly every day. The key to making improvements is repeated refinement of process to achieve a particular goal based on new information becoming available. Interesting, I could not convince my managers of this fact. Managers typically run in an open-loop. That is, they issue orders and expect other people to make them happen.
Having said all this, it can be exhausting to be part of that feedback loop. The agile s/w methodology basically is a codification of a closed feedback loop. A fellow programmer some years ago said that she preferred the waterfall methodology because it was a lot more peaceful. Closed loop can make you feel like you are on a mission from God, or "Gad", as John Belushi would have said.
When you go to the super market you will realise that most food items are priced at at least 10$ per kg no matter the price of raw materials. prices have more to do with what they can make the customer accept (by programming them via social engineering) than by cost reality.
That's the idiot index for all us.
Dude should have just scribbled his name and the date, and handed it over, and said "okay, here. Resigned"
The level of 'fuck this shit' is off the charts here.
looks like Elon wants to run a marathon distance with 100m dash pace. Non-sustainable, it's sad, as he will have more delays as many people will leave and they will spent more time on hiring and onboarding, than actual work
In military SpecForces the Motto is NEVER QUIT-But- I added: “I CHEAT FAIR” ! ? and got a Hug from Commanding Officer ! ?
This ratio is like BMI. It can be fudged if there's not enough context.
What if I said the raw material and the product was the same price thereby bringing it closer to a 1:1 ratio? Like making the raw material more expensive but the production is still the same price.
Who is the idiot now?
Bottom line is, it's easy to say anything rude to others when you got billions dollar
Bottom line is that he invests his billions into his passion. Which in his case is trying to save humanity. When people are passionate emotions can run high, because you care. I hope that one day you find whatever it is that drives you on that level. That you are willing to sacrifice great things for it. And at times you will yell
I might have retired after few millions not even billions 🤣 no passion just fun..
it's easy to say anything rude to others WHEN YOU LIVE OFF GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES
@@MrRaulstrnad who exactly?
@MrRaulstrnad. The entire industry is based on government subsidies so your point is moot. If others could do it better they would. But they arent even close. Try again
In Kantian philosophy, particularly in the realm of ethics, the idea of dehumanizing someone and treating them merely as a means to an end is often associated with the concept of instrumentalization or instrumental reasoning. This is closely related to Immanuel Kant's principle of treating humanity, whether in oneself or in others, always as an end in itself, and never merely as a means to some other end.
When individuals are reduced to mere instruments or tools for the achievement of one's goals, their intrinsic worth as rational beings capable of moral agency is disregarded. This dehumanizing treatment undermines their dignity and autonomy, which are central to Kantian ethics. Instead of recognizing and respecting the inherent value and rationality of individuals, they are objectified and exploited solely for the benefit of others.
And we're talking about rocket scientists here. I'm sure they are capable of taking care of themselves. They are surely sentient. Kant was a philosopher, we must remember it's speculative. Better to talk to people who work at spacex and see if they are happy, or content, if the interest is their welfare. You'd have data and wouldn't have to speculate. From my anecdotal perspective, spacex employees seem incredibly satisfied in their bleeding edge work and success. Also paid very well. Imagine working somewhere where you do things that have never been done. Wouldn't that be amazing?
@@gramma677 you talk about data and then you say anecdotal perspective. Those two aint compatible.
"If you stick with me you will win." Kinda funny given the recent layoffs, but technically correct.
I have seen this many times... when people care about humanity and great causes they often don't care about their neighbour difficulties and the opposite is also very true... people shouting against great human causes saying it's just bullshit, but cannot pass in front of a bag people without giving them money.
Well, I'll rather do both.
However, saying you care about humanity but not about your neighbor seems very hideous to me.
It's like a movie villain.
So, honestly, I basically reject that model.
Elon caring about humanity??? If we could get to Mars and terraform it we could certainly solve all the same problems here on earth, faster and cheaper. If he really cared for humanity he would concentrate on solving problems like pollution, poverty, wars etc here. But he only cares about his own passions.
@@Axel_Andersen All those problems are solved. Governments just don't enact the necessary policies. He's a private citizen, so he wants to go to mars. That's great. But solving long solved problems is a ridiculous pursuit.
@@gramma677 I was commenting the comment that Musks cares about humanity. And that is laughable. If he wants t go to Mars, fine, that is his funeral. But if he really cared about humanity he tried to solve problems on earth and not try to start over in an environment which is full of nothing but unsolved technical and economical problems.
@@Axel_Andersen I don't think it's about humanity, maybe it is in his mind. It's fine to go to another planet. All the problems on earth are solved. It's just leaders are unable to enact the necessary policies. Poverty is solved, hunger solved. Now we still have these problems because leaders don't do the things that are already demonstrated to fix them as they have in many many many countries. I agree with you though, really. Nothing could happen to earth that would make it as unfriendly to life as mars is. It should just be fine to want to go to mars, for its own sake. But you are right on many points. I wonder if Elon really believes the altruistic message, or if he just wants to go to mars. Which is fine.
It's literally impossible to get anything done - and I mean anything - without stepping on someone's toes. It's just life.
Humanity is not going to Mars if there is no humanity left in us.
Insightful, and gets to the root of the problem: human nature.
The entire point of starting a selective separate society free from the anarchy our home has become. If we all become dust tomorrow at least the best aspects will carry on.

Idiot index is a ratio not an attribution. But yeah, you're very insightful I'd attribute a 1.
There was s some truth to this. When I was in engineering school, I had a teacher that had worked with a NASA contractor. He said he would routinely see someone take a regular hareware screw off the shelf that cost about 5 cents at the time, put in in a bag and write "Space Screw, $1.25.". There has traditionally been a lot of graft in the industry.
But "how much is your customer willing to pay for an item" is also how we determine what the price point of an item will be. The highter the price point over cost of material, labor, maintenance and plant build, the more profit is made, and the more investors will invest in the product.
So, now the manufacturer has investors, whom by law have to see a profit on their investment. But they have a buyer who wants to lower the price point signifagantly. Easy, just lower your profit margin, right?
The answer to this question will be left to those who work in actual corporate America... Or any other country.

Disclosure: I did Multi-Criteria-Ranking Optimizations.
The "Idiot Index" is a good marker, but it's not the whole picture. It ranks parts by their cost-to-material ratios, but just because a part ranks high doesn't mean it's worth optimizing.
Consider a part that costs USD 100K with USD 1K in materials. This gives a ratio of 100. Now consider a part that costs USD 20 with USD 0.1 materials, which gives a ratio of 200. The second part's ratio is higher, but you save much less by optimizing it.
Imagine a spaceship full of these low-cost parts. They'd top the list, but optimizing them wouldn't save much. That's why we need to consider not just the ratio but also the total cost. Ranking by total cost as well as ratio makes sure high-priced and high-ratio parts are our focus.
I'm not saying SpaceX doesn't do this. I'm just saying the video simplifies things a bit.
This wasn't actually about the "idiot index". Would have been better if it had been.

@@LuisSierra42 this means that your idiot index decreased. I congratulate you, brother.
"Idiot index" is used to judge one product floating over value or not, it's super meaningful not only considering on manufacture but also throughout human being life as well.
I can illustrate that. In terms of the product of my wages vs. what they were worth to me, particularly when money gets weighed against the worth of my time to live a normal life and health in all its aspects.
I was asked to work split shifts, 6 am to 2 pm and 6 pm to 10 pm. Problem is I'm biologically a night owl. On my normal 12-hour days I wake up at 4:20 am and by the time I get home at 6:30 pm, I eat and then just flop to sleep. That's the only way I can make up for my exhaustion at not working according to my personal circadian rhythm. But when I did split shifts, I got home at 10:30 pm and because of my night owl nature, couldn't fall asleep till about 2 a.m. So I wound up working on a bit over 2 hours sleep a day for multiple days. And then stepping into 12-hour shifts on top of that. Boy was I out of it. For days afterward too, my sleep schedule was crazy and I did not feel clear at all. For me, the product of my labor, that is, cash and higher regard at the company, was not worth the greatly increased difficulty at work and being completely drained afterward even on my days off. I thought splitting my shifts and working extra was worth it. At the cost of my health and clarity and ability to have any pleasure if only to curry favor and/or avoid office politics pain. It wasn't. The money would have had to be far better to not let me fall into an idiot metric with regard to the value of my labor and life. SO MUCH extra effort and negative health effects for relatively little money.

I read the Isaacson biography of Elon Musk - and concluded that (even if I was highly qualified) I would never work for him (Musk) at SpaceX, Tesla, X, or any other company he runs; he's a relentless slave driver. On the other hand, to be a shareholder in a Musk-run company is a likely path toward substantial investment returns and financial bliss.
To summarize:
- being a Musk employee == bad
- being a Musk company shareholder == good
Tesla is currently doing not so good in terms of share price
@@alexi9108 Sooner or later reality catches up with hype and Tesla is no exception. Electric cars are NOT the be-all-end-all solution to mankind's transportation needs - and investors finally figured that out (i.e. Tesla stock was WAY overvalued).

I don't regret passing on the opportunity to work in Sparks Nevada, because my talents would not have been applied there. The idiot index was coined by a dispassionate overzealous idiot.
@DNomer said it very well:
His 'idiot index' is itself not very bright. For example, with microchips, the cheapest chips are quite cheap, and the most expensive ones are quite pricey, yet the cost of 'raw materials' is trivial in each case. You need to employ a much more comprehensive paradigm to judge what is a reasonable cost for 'item A'.
People giving businesses far too much credit. Most people accept parts for what they are. Aka Idiots
There is a vast over-simplification using "idiot-index" in this video. This isn't something new from Elon Musk. It has been around for decades: think of Lean and The Toyota Way and the topic is far more nuanced than just slashing costs. I hope they didn't cut out so many of the processes to make the Raptor engine cheaper so as to make it unsafe. As an engineer, I can tell you that this is a fine line to thread and any poor decision making to make cost an issue over safety would ultimately have real-world life ending consequences. Think of Challenger, Columbia and more recently Boeing. And, pssst, physics also doesn’t care about the bottom line.
Sure but Elon is still a cuck
" What caused the catastrophic failure of the Space Shuttle Challenger on that cold Florida morning of January 28, 1986? From a technical perspective, experts cite lower-than-expected launch temperatures at Florida's Cape Canaveral, which caused a tiny rubber part called an O-ring to malfunction. "
I really want to work for SpaceX, or Tesla, to learn Elon's mindset at work.
It's actually really simple: He thinks he knows better than you. You agree with everything he says and you're golden. Also means you have to execute his incredibly stupid ideas even when you know they are stupid. Disagree and you're fired. Oh, and don't expect any loyalty in return.
If reusable rockets and electric cars are what you call stupid ideas, I think I would rather take my chance with Elon's stupid ideas. You'd be amazed at how quick his job roles are filled. As for loyalty, his companies seem to have some of the highest wages. Perhaps you know better? have you worked for any of his companies? If so, what is your personal experience?@@K1RTB

Wish more infants were working on rockets then. Also the idiot index is a measure of efficiency. It's like people hear the word idiot and then replace it with infantile, but don't even create a ratio. Like it's not even funny, cause it's based on massive ignorance of the premise.

Strangely enough, I think that insane level of self confidence rings true to vulnerable people who admittedly call themselves fans, not realising it is short for fanatic, which means "marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion". According to a study by psychologists from Cambridge University, the more that people publicly express admiration for a public figure, the more likely it is that the fans' faith in the public figure will remain unaffected following "moral violations" or "illogical actions" by the adored person. Sometimes the illogical worship of the individual mirrors that of religious cults, the key being blind faith that denies logic.
SpaceX is where you go if you want to work on things that will fundamentally alter and enable humanity’s future. It is not a place for those looking for a comfortable 9-5 job.

Isn’t this like a basic business concept.
You’d think but most businesses that manufacture things source their parts from third party dealers
Bingo - right on the nail.
You’re talking about full vertical integration. That is done by almost no businesses on earth
@@austinzizzi1142 Except car companies, computer companies, phone companies, fast food companies. But most mom and pop stores don't vertically integrate and in that you'r totally correct.
@@gramma677 no most car companies are not fully intergraded at all. They are buy large amounts of parts from third party manufacturers. Some of their car bodies are even entirely made by third party manufacturers. This is common practice in the industry and has been moving more towards outsourcing since the 70s. It is the same way across most industries because manufacturing at scale is very difficult. If you look at the watch industry Rolex was so highly valued because it was the only company that was able to fully integrate until very recently. Before the last couple years most other watch makers were buying their entire movements from third party dealers. Tesla is becoming fully integrated to the point that it’s starting to refine its own lithium for batteries

I mean by any reasonable measure, terrorism isn't one of the big killers. Disease kills far more people.
But sure, mars is an expensive hobby.
Then, remove Musk first - he doesn't do a damn thing about it, if already you declare this highest priority...

SpaceX rockets, make internet, for guy in trench. We know how to get along, we know how to eliminate poverty, we just have leaders with their own priorities. In the meantime, let's build rockets and go to other planets as the policitians screw everything up.
Too many people think that the Raptor engine is a done deal when the reality is that the jury is still out as to whether the Raptor engine design is up to the task.
The Raptor 2 is an improvement on Raptor 1 with increases in performance and thrust and a reduction in the the amount of parts which reduces the amount of time to manufacture and test. But that is for nought if the engines can't be reliably re-lit and are insufficient in lifting the required payload. Maybe a betting man might be looking for Raptor 5 before all the problems are resolved.
So true. Also if Elon asks about the price of steel for the engine he must be thinking that he can push the price of the engine towards the price of steel, right? So why burn fuel each way trying to bring back that engine (or 36 of them!) to be refurbished, why not just make disposable engines like the rest of the industry...
@@Axel_Andersenbecause rocket engines cost a lot of money. It is stupid to throw away millions dollars parts after 10 minutes of use. Its like throwing away your car when the tank is empty, instead of keeping a little bit of fuel to go to the gas station.
@@niconico3907 You missed the point.
IF Elon thinks that the price of the raw material (a few thousands) is significant compared to the complete engine price (millions according to you) then he must be thinking that he can push the price of the engine down close to the raw material prices. So IF he can do that or believes he can do that, THEN it would make sense for him to use disposable rockets because re-usable rockets are heavier and more expensive than re-usable and will still require refurbishment between flights (unless you buy his lies about one hour turn around).
@@Axel_Andersen Regardless of what you say, SpaceX currently offers the cheapest rate for getting material to orbit. So the engines are cheap, and they can be reset and reused in a more cost effective way than just making disposable rockets. Proof is in the numbers

Lucas was a tool... he's being paid to know his entire set of responsibilities and provide results, not just be a pass-thru that keeps the status quo going. Musk was providing him feedback and direction. It's sad that his baby died, but if you need grieving time, you should request it, then compartmentalize it and move on, returning to work when you're able to do your job without pulling out a pity party card every time you fall short of your responsibilities. Musk didn't build PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, Boring Co, and all the other wildly successful companies under his leadership by giving participation trophies to everyone just for showing up. Big progress takes big commitment. Don't sign up for the big jobs if you are not going to commit to doing whatever it takes.

@@Splexx Guess you're right - he's in the mirror.
He didn't 'build' any of those companies
So I guess this explains why Full Self Driving software is so elusive for Tesla. The cost of development is hundreds of millions, yet the raw materials are just thought. Nothing physical, just thought. I guess for Tesla engineers, the idiot index is high, very high, exponentially high, asymptotically high, divide by zero high. Hey, maybe they should use that idiot index on employees. And consider this; Not everyone gets Elon's emails. I have never heard of this Idiot index and I work for the man.
I guess art, especially live music, dance, theater, are for idiots, because the raw materials were nil, but the cost of the final product was so much. Is that such a good measure? $500 concert tickets anyone?
What the idiot index neglects, is the effort behind the conversion of the raw materials into the final product. It took education, training, experience, and skill of each person involved, as well as ancillary non-material costs like shipping, storage, taxes, fees, and licensing to go from raw material to finished product.
Suppose you give a hammer, nails, saw, and some wood to a master carpenter and a chimpanzee. The carpenter will construct a useful, comfortable, durable chair in short order. The Chimp would need some direction to get the first nail started and might cut themselves with the saw. The raw materials were the same. The end product was very different. The carpenter's chair is worth the fair asking price of the carpenter. The chimp has no conception of money so his pile is free. The Idiot Index for the carpenter's handy work is maybe 10 or 20. The chimp's mess has an Idiot Index of 0. Even if it was 1, which construction would perform the function of a chair? Could strict adherence to this Idiot Index be why Space X rockets blow up?
Elon is smart, but not smart enough to realize that some things he says, some policies he adopts, are ludicruous. Sure, make that ratio, but call it a value ratio. That's more descriptive, and probably what economists call it. Adding the derogatory characterization of "idiot" is juvenile and placating to his ego of superiority.
