  1. I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better. I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.

  16. I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I'm really good at email.
  17. I think there are more politicians in favor of electric cars than against. There are still some that are against, and I think the reasoning for that varies depending on the person, but in some cases, they just don't believe in climate change - they think oil will last forever.

Conclusion

I personally think it is amazing to see how Tesla is moving the world forward and closer to electric cars. This will be huge revolution close to what Henry Ford did with his T-Model. Thinking further and also looking into how to store and produce the energy needed is a genius and helpful. It is also business savvy is Elon Musk will create a market which he controls and owns which is never a bad thing to turn it into some profits.

As a life lesson, it is good to continuously question yourself to improve. I personally think I am not doing this enough and should at least do it once a week to get better and not get into routines which harm myself and those around or missing it on growth opportunities which would accelerate my life even faster. But as Elon says it is continuous learning and assessment. If you want to improve your life, I always found that starting with what you eat and how your body works is the easiest to start with and get con troll over to then move on to the rest of your life.
