@@non_gamer9912 yeah, could also be called complexity index or something, but I imagine the point is to disincentives things being overly complex. They made flying rockets, and now want to bring down the cost of manufacture to gain a larger TAM
It's not really that useful. There are much better ways to identify high and inefficiencient cost centers in manufacturing. This idiot Index just gives you a very broad assessment of situation.

People don’t grow when they’re comfortable. While losing a child is probably the most tragic thing that could ever happen to any person that has absolutely nothing to do with his job. When you get things wrong while working with rockets people die so it’s a big deal to know the numbers.
A good manager wouldve made sure that man wasnt working on something that has life or death implications while still reeling from a traumatic experience.
Nevermind what this is specifically about. This situation is a great example of true societal progression. To push forward. You can stay in your comfort zone. You also cant give everyone the full rope. And ya. Some days may be hard for people. But the world still turns and not everyone is going to know your life nor can they. So both people in power and those under authority need to have an understanding of respect as well as being able to swallow pride.
Elong Musk? The guy pushing to get global internet access via Starlink, to enable long term, interplanetary space travel via SpaceX, to give EV's a hopeful future via Tesla, to give people with physical disabilities a hope for regaining function, via Neurolink..?? That Elon Musk? Oh... yeah, he is totally diabolical 🤡
Yeah, great idea. Let's push people who are trying to work intellectual jobs as hard as we can so they're stressed out. And let's get people to camp out in the Twitter offices and make them work 12-hour days. That will improve performance and quality. Yeesh.
There are some people capable of that for considerable periods of time, which is exactly what he wants in other to reduce operating costs as much as possible. Inhuman? Yes. Profitable? Maybe.
No empathy in private sector. Empathy is for the weak only. Sink or swim, all I have ever done is work for top fortune companies. This is the norm, my guess is you are a teacher or not even in the private sector. This is the norm….
@@SOPhenix-np6cl That's all right I accept that but the point to say we need empathy sometimes is because you need to sit around someone and ask how it is going. The only purpose to say this is to ensure that we don't become too much self awared that we ignore other people cuz we need eachother. In fact if I was there as Elon musk I would also make sure that you should be prepared the next time cuz that's the quality of a leader that he pushes the limits. The whole point of saying we need empathy is that it's part of humanity and should forget that, obviously if you're making a rocket you should think from the mind not the heart.😉
What empathy? Do you actually think that the guy told Elon about his private problems ? I don’t believe that! He should have known to take a few days off and not go to work under those circumstances!
Work is work. Nobody is saying you shouldn’t be empathetic towards people. But if you bring personal issues at work then you should expect issues arising from that.
Well, I like that he criticized the action and not the person, but he could’ve said it nicely first and be a bit more harsh if the same mistake happens twice
Be a bit more harsh if the same mistake happens twice? Do you not realize that the space industry has 0 room for mistakes? This isn’t basketball, soccer or football where you get another try. When you send astronauts into orbit, nothing can go wrong. There’s no second chance when it comes to having human lives in your hands. It has to be a seamless operation from start to finish.
Make all the money in the world and still losing a daughter will rattle you more than you can imagine. It happened to my mum and and to one of my best mates and it’s unlike anything you’d be able to comprehend

It's fair for a boss to threaten to fire someone if they can't answer a question they apparently didn't know he cared about? Would it not have been better to just tell them to have that information ready for future meetings? Why threaten?
FAILING TO MENTION; Elon did NOT know his employee had lost his newborn baby!!!! THAT is kind of important to the story!!! Elon is a HUGE advocate of family and absolutely ADORES his children, bringing them with him whenever possible.
That employee may have develiped resilience and overcome the grief of losing his child, overnight... but more likely he acquiesced to inappripriate and uncompassionate pressure from his employer, and merely appeared to cope better while actually simply surviving.
Elon knows the reality of the universe does not care how it affects you. However, an excellent employer serves it's employees just as much as they serve the company.
Did anyone bother telling Elon this? They are building rockets, after all, very expensive and dangerous. It's pretty important that everyone working on it is on top of things.
Honestly i care little of the attitude of Elon Musk to his employees partly because im not one of them. I care more about his desire to forceably push humanity into the future. Though regardless he is more successful than 99% of people who are reading this including myself
Yeah. I wouldn't want to be his employee, personally. But he's never kept it a secret that the work at his world changing companies is very demanding, and he doesn't force anyone to work for him. People know what to expect when they apply for a job at SpaceX.
If he was not criticizing the action he criticized the dude to the edge of breakdown and threatened to fire him Physics does not care about hurt feelings but elon is a person
Elon is not the saviour everyone needs, he is also not the one everyone deserves We have to be better and treat everyone better no matter who you are or how important you think you are Everyone is a person with feelings, no one will ever work for your company as hard as you want them to work but will help you when you help others
well tbh some parts might be super expensive while the raw material isnt... but the machining is what makes it expensive... a bolt has to have exact characteristics... so a part get manufactured in bulk then they sort out anything that does not fit criteria...
I think we can all agree the world was much worse in every way 200 years ago. Then why was depression almost non-existent in those days? Resiliency is a skill set not many in this comment section seem to possess.
In the institution I ran, I said, “leave your private life outside the gate.” Inside, people rely on you. Lives are at stake. If you need to attend to your private life, go home. We will understand. Do not put everyone at risk by bringing your personal problems to work.
Gordon Ramsey calls you stupid and throws your dish in the trash because you need to understand that the dish was crap. A Chef who doesnt care about food or your developing talent lets the dish go out to the table. People on this thread criticizing Elon Musk crack me up. Most do nothing in life that matters.
Love how he threw in the illegal "we will accept your resignation" because he's so rich, but definitely wont be caught dead paying unemployment when he decides to fire someone (ya know, take responsibility for his actions)
The idiot index sounds like something on which Elon would score quite highly. He is like an evil Forrest Gump. I have never heard so many stupid ideas-like ordering Tesla engineers to design the original Model Y without a steering wheel-come from one person in my entire life.
I had a higher opinion of Elon when he wasn't tweeting his opinion on every single current event non-stop. I don't get why celebrities feel the need to comment on everything and everyone.
*Was Elon too tough or just right?* To reiterate, Elon did NOT realize his employee had just lost his baby girl at the time of the incident.

Damn you're so badass bro. I bet you could beat up your entire night shift!
Sensitive people in the comments expect their boss to hold their hand through work 😅
A good manager wouldve made sure that man wasnt working on something that has life or death implications while still reeling from a traumatic experience.
Well yeah, look at the type of work this man is doing for humanity!
What? Making more money for him self by using tax payers money? Great. Lying to humanity? What he did? He did nothing to improve any life
Evil working on the mark of the beast not good by any means
Like what???
Making sure his employees don't kill themselves is the mark of a good boss.
He's working on the mark of the beast not good by any means
Nevermind what this is specifically about. This situation is a great example of true societal progression. To push forward. You can stay in your comfort zone. You also cant give everyone the full rope. And ya. Some days may be hard for people. But the world still turns and not everyone is going to know your life nor can they. So both people in power and those under authority need to have an understanding of respect as well as being able to swallow pride.
Being professional means removing your personal life from your work. It’s why being a “professional” is difficult.
As a physician I don’t get a pass at work because my home life is crap. If home interferes then don’t go to work
Just lost his baby girl. Wow, THAT took a turn. 😢
Physics doesn't care bruh😂
In all fairness, the Financial Analyst wouldn't have been dumb enough to purchase Twitter.
Elon Musk is literally a super villain at this point
Elong Musk?
The guy pushing to get global internet access via Starlink, to enable long term, interplanetary space travel via SpaceX, to give EV's a hopeful future via Tesla, to give people with physical disabilities a hope for regaining function, via Neurolink..??
That Elon Musk?
Oh... yeah, he is totally diabolical 🤡
And you are literally delusional at this point.
@MrTsiolkovsky go be poor somewhere else
Not for me
Better to have not said anything than to let the world know.
Yeah, great idea.
Let's push people who are trying to work intellectual jobs as hard as we can so they're stressed out. And let's get people to camp out in the Twitter offices and make them work 12-hour days. That will improve performance and quality.
Yeesh.
There are some people capable of that for considerable periods of time, which is exactly what he wants in other to reduce operating costs as much as possible. Inhuman? Yes. Profitable? Maybe.
12 HOUR DAYS?!? Oh the poor widdle diddums.
so far he has been proven right
@@Kenshiroit he's been proven right about what?
“i dont know” is a curse word in every company when to know the data. you might got terminated if this curse word uttered by manager
That's right but sometimes we need empathy ❤
No empathy in private sector. Empathy is for the weak only. Sink or swim, all I have ever done is work for top fortune companies. This is the norm, my guess is you are a teacher or not even in the private sector.
This is the norm….
@@SOPhenix-np6cl That's all right I accept that but the point to say we need empathy sometimes is because you need to sit around someone and ask how it is going. The only purpose to say this is to ensure that we don't become too much self awared that we ignore other people cuz we need eachother. In fact if I was there as Elon musk I would also make sure that you should be prepared the next time cuz that's the quality of a leader that he pushes the limits. The whole point of saying we need empathy is that it's part of humanity and should forget that, obviously if you're making a rocket you should think from the mind not the heart.😉
@@SOPhenix-np6clwhy worry about AI taking over, when we have "people" like you around.
What empathy? Do you actually think that the guy told Elon about his private problems ? I don’t believe that! He should have known to take a few days off and not go to work under those circumstances!
@@andreeaselgaardjensen5086 You are right. I agree 💯 and I also believe in personally what you said. But what I said you haven't understood.
He didn't knew what the "idiot parts" were but for sure he knew who the idiots is
Work is work. Nobody is saying you shouldn’t be empathetic towards people. But if you bring personal issues at work then you should expect issues arising from that.
Elon should be on the top of that list
you mad bro?
In other words, being an ahole is part and parcel of being a billionaire.
This is what happens when you go against the cult of L. Ron Musk.
Oh God. Another cultist.
Well, I like that he criticized the action and not the person, but he could’ve said it nicely first and be a bit more harsh if the same mistake happens twice
Be a bit more harsh if the same mistake happens twice? Do you not realize that the space industry has 0 room for mistakes? This isn’t basketball, soccer or football where you get another try. When you send astronauts into orbit, nothing can go wrong. There’s no second chance when it comes to having human lives in your hands. It has to be a seamless operation from start to finish.
@@multiplesourcesofincome7037That's in the execution phase, when planning there will be lots of mistakes all the time
It's capitalistic science that does not care about feelings. True natural science that's driven by compassion does care.
To be fair... The engineer makes alot of money
Yeah , also humanites future is on the line. Its sad and all but if he can't manager the job he should resign.
Make all the money in the world and still losing a daughter will rattle you more than you can imagine.
It happened to my mum and and to one of my best mates and it’s unlike anything you’d be able to comprehend
@@ChosenSquirrelread my comment above if ya can
@@YTho-ev1ejYep but I guess Elon didn’t know about that.
Elon Musk has the critical thinking skills of a small rodent.
And yet he has gone from poor to richest and multiple world changing companies. You should educate yourself before speaking wet shit out of your mouth.
dont insult rodents like that.
people seething at Elon's success is great entertainment.
Pathetic snowflakes quivering at losing free breakfasts😂
Elon really said womp womp at his employee's daughter dying 💀
"Space, the final frontier, these are the voyages of people who understand they are privileged to be in the development of space travel, and to Boldly GO where NO ONE has gone before!"
WHA! People think this company is a joke??? Send'em Elon!
That’s fair yo. Not like he straight up fired him, he was hard on his employee motivating him to do better. Good boss
It's fair for a boss to threaten to fire someone if they can't answer a question they apparently didn't know he cared about? Would it not have been better to just tell them to have that information ready for future meetings? Why threaten?
FAILING TO MENTION; Elon did NOT know his employee had lost his newborn baby!!!! THAT is kind of important to the story!!! Elon is a HUGE advocate of family and absolutely ADORES his children, bringing them with him whenever possible.
This comment is satire right?
Because is Elon is famously a horrible father.
@@gmtom19 how so? What has he done that makes him a horrible father?
Elon: “You dumb”
Also Elon: “I try not to criticize the person”
Its called accountability. Life wont stop for your feelings. Learn to cope and grind it out. Life is hard and sucks at times
That employee may have develiped resilience and overcome the grief of losing his child, overnight... but more likely he acquiesced to inappripriate and uncompassionate pressure from his employer, and merely appeared to cope better while actually simply surviving.
Knowing an arbitrary thing that Elon made up is a bad decision?
so he came up with another name for the “buy-to-fly” ratio that’s been used for decades? what a genius!
The Elon simps in the comment section just absorbed Elon's assholeness and mirroring it the people who critize him.
How come Elon didn't know what was going on in this guy's life? Oh that's right because he's a psychopath.
bro has 4 companies more than 100,000 employees, he cant keep up with all of them. use your critical thinking skills.
Poor baby, get a therapist😂
Elon knows the reality of the universe does not care how it affects you. However, an excellent employer serves it's employees just as much as they serve the company.
Yes, one of the only balanced comments here.
"What's important is that you get the rocket right"
Says man whose biggest rocket is one launch away from matching the N1s safety record.
There's no right or wrong in a fictional conversation.
Work continues, no matter what happens to an employee, even the employees death. That's why the prudent don't put too much of their life into the job
The question of too tough is for those who entertain failure. It is for those who are safe on the shore to contemplate.
Walking home from dinner this evening my son asked me if Musk is the cleverest and richest man on earth
Did anyone bother telling Elon this? They are building rockets, after all, very expensive and dangerous. It's pretty important that everyone working on it is on top of things.
If only we could use that same metric when evaluating our government employees.
If this is true, I'd say Elon owes the guy an apology.
Honestly i care little of the attitude of Elon Musk to his employees partly because im not one of them.
I care more about his desire to forceably push humanity into the future.
Though regardless he is more successful than 99% of people who are reading this including myself
Yeah. I wouldn't want to be his employee, personally. But he's never kept it a secret that the work at his world changing companies is very demanding, and he doesn't force anyone to work for him. People know what to expect when they apply for a job at SpaceX.
Idiot index is definitely what Elon calls his idiot finger.
If you’re gonna work for this man, you better know what’s expected.
Try spending 100,000 on an employee. You expect them to know what they’re supposed to know.
Hold up. Let’s not pretend that a “Titan of Industry” is exempt from treating people right.
Men don’t dwell on feelings too long. The next day the dude was prepared
The show must go on, somewhere a few generations ago we forgot all about that. Nut up, and get shit done, right fucking now.
These people are really working, most ppl dont do shit at work.
Remember this man owns twitter
“Physics does not care about hurt feelings.”
Yet we are human not physics Elon.
Dude, the reply section is batshit crazy. How empathetic are these "people"?
If he was not criticizing the action he criticized the dude to the edge of breakdown and threatened to fire him
Physics does not care about hurt feelings but elon is a person
Corporate media: there is no evidence that rockets dont care
Elon is not the saviour everyone needs, he is also not the one everyone deserves
We have to be better and treat everyone better no matter who you are or how important you think you are
Everyone is a person with feelings, no one will ever work for your company as hard as you want them to work but will help you when you help others
I’d have about faced and walked out on the spot. I do not let people, especially employers, treat me poorly anymore.
well tbh some parts might be super expensive while the raw material isnt... but the machining is what makes it expensive... a bolt has to have exact characteristics... so a part get manufactured in bulk then they sort out anything that does not fit criteria...
Criticize the action. Not the person. ❤
I think we can all agree the world was much worse in every way 200 years ago. Then why was depression almost non-existent in those days?
Resiliency is a skill set not many in this comment section seem to possess.
In the institution I ran, I said, “leave your private life outside the gate.” Inside, people rely on you. Lives are at stake. If you need to attend to your private life, go home. We will understand. Do not put everyone at risk by bringing your personal problems to work.
In USA people’s feelings is prioritized over the actual work.
Gordon Ramsey calls you stupid and throws your dish in the trash because you need to understand that the dish was crap.
A Chef who doesnt care about food or your developing talent lets the dish go out to the table.
People on this thread criticizing Elon Musk crack me up. Most do nothing in life that matters.
That’s why Elon has 100 kids so when 1 dies it doesn’t hurt as much
Elon's own idiot index is 10/10
What a completely real story, anyway
The normal company will warn the employees about expectations, but Elon doesn't run a normal company.
To have a boss like musk is hard. But he has responsible for lives with his role at space x.
Love how he threw in the illegal "we will accept your resignation" because he's so rich, but definitely wont be caught dead paying unemployment when he decides to fire someone (ya know, take responsibility for his actions)
?
The idiot index sounds like something on which Elon would score quite highly. He is like an evil Forrest Gump. I have never heard so many stupid ideas-like ordering Tesla engineers to design the original Model Y without a steering wheel-come from one person in my entire life.
I’ve had a lot of shitty bosses. What separates a stern boss from an asshole is if they make criticism personal.
It's a harsh lesson when you learn nobody cares about your personal sh*t
Ask anyone at space x... Elon is a hard manager but a great leader. People love being on his team.
'I tried to criticize the action, not the person.'
Yeah, just like the time you accused an SME on cave diving of being a paedophile...
I had a higher opinion of Elon when he wasn't tweeting his opinion on every single current event non-stop. I don't get why celebrities feel the need to comment on everything and everyone.
Elon was referring to work. Twitter is not real life.
@@Melior_TraianoTwitter is not real life. When it ceases to be entertaining, turn it off.
@@Retired.at.40.Bored.at.50 I don't have Twitter, but when someone like Elon Musk makes a statement you'll hear about it via the news anyways.
@@Melior_TraianoBecause they are insulated idiots. And Elon is so rich peopel actually think his sheer stupidity is brilliance.
He did not ream him out. He ommunicated the requirement and standard clearly
