Musk’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 Musk’s favorite way of thinking is first-principles thinking, and it’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. Here’s how it works: Instead of assuming something can’t be done, ask, “What are the fundamental facts? What’s actually possible?” For example, Musk didn’t accept the high cost of rockets—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 won’t just think smarter—you’ll think like a genius.
