David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH)

He doesn't have to go scour the earth to find the best people.

The best people come to him because he is, talking about Elon here, one of the singular most invigorating figures in both the same order of the universe here, haters and lovers, right?

Like he's having such an impact at such a scale that of course he's got to have literally millions of people think he's the

worst person in the world.

And he's also going to have millions of people thinking he's the greatest gift to humanity.

Depending on the day, I'm somewhere in between, but I'm more on the greatest gift to humanity end of the scale than I'm on the other end of the scale.

And I think that really inspires people in a way that we've almost forgotten that that level of audacity is so rare.

That when we see it, we don't fully know how to analyze it.

We think of Elon as finding great talent, and I'm sure he's also good at that.

But I also think that this beacon of the mission, we're going to fucking Mars.

We're going to transform transportation into using electricity.

We're going to cover the Earth in Internet.

It's so grand that there are days where I wake up and go like, what the fuck am I doing with these to-do lists?

Right.

Like, Jesus, should I go sign up for something like that?

That sounds invigorating in a sense I can only imagine like a Viking back in 1050 going like, should we go to Normandy?

You may die along the way.

But, oh boy, does that sound like a journey and an adventure.

I think part of the secret there is that Elon actually knows things.

And when you know things, you can evaluate the quality of work products.
