Muskโ€™s favorite thinking framework: First-principles thinking. Sadly, few people understand how it works & how important it is. Here's a 2-minute breakdown that will make you a genius thinker: Elon Muskโ€™s favorite way of thinking is first-principles thinking, and itโ€™s a game-changer. Most people think by copying what others do or improving existing ideas. But first-principles thinking means breaking problems down to their basic truths and building solutions from the ground up. Hereโ€™s how it works: Instead of assuming something canโ€™t be done, ask, โ€œWhat are the fundamental facts? Whatโ€™s actually possible?โ€ For example, Musk didnโ€™t accept the high cost of rocketsโ€”he analyzed raw material costs and built SpaceX rockets much cheaper. This mindset helps you challenge assumptions, see opportunities others miss, and solve problems in innovative ways. Master first-principles thinking, and you wonโ€™t just think smarterโ€”youโ€™ll think like a genius.
