Would you like to innovate like a Musk company? If you have gotten excited about Joe Justice's description of how Tesla and SpaceX innovate, and want to know how start, this workshop is for you. “Musk companies” are setting the standard for innovation and market disruption. These companies are driven by 1) A thousand-year vision for humanity, 2) “Limiting KPIs” that prevent achieving it, 3) Focus on innovation to improve those KPIs, and 4) AI-supported teamwork accelerates everything For example, SpaceX intends to make humanity multi-planetary by establishing a colony on Mars. Currently, the limiting KPI is the cost per kilogram to get to orbit. SpaceX's rockets strive to reduce that cost by orders of magnitude. You can innovate like a Musk company! This approach is the basis of unprecedented innovation speed, competitive advantage, and market valuation. You can apply the same methods.

SpaceX just hit a $350 billion valuation. That's double what they were worth LAST YEAR. But the craziest part isn't the number... It's what Elon Musk is now secretly building behind the scenes (it's terrifying): SpaceX is transforming space into a booming business! In just three months, its valuation soared from $255B to $350B, making it the world's most valuable private startup. Why? Starlink's explosive growth: 2.3M subscribers by 2023 $4.2B in revenue (200% growth YOY) Plans for direct-to-phone internet without special equipment Plus, Starshield’s secure communications are winning massive military contracts, potentially adding $2.4B annually from just one client. With 140 missions planned for 2024, SpaceX is leading in reusable rockets, global internet, and space innovation. This isn’t just rocket science—it’s creating entirely new markets. The $350B valuation proves one thing: SpaceX is redefining what’s possible in space and business. Follow Suneel Mekala for more content.

Focus on a single metric helped this chief engineer turn his start-up into a US$180B company. Love him or hate him, Elon Musk has got this dialed in.  Get your team focused on a simple metric, and the rest will follow. Elon's company, Space X, where he is the "Chief Engineer," focuses on a core metric (a North Star - pun intended!) 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜: "Cost to launch one pound of payload into orbit." 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐭: Faced with the colossal challenge of reducing space launch costs, Musk’s secret wasn’t an endless budget or cutting-edge technology alone. It was an unwavering focus on one metric: "Cost to launch one pound of payload into orbit." Every innovation, every design change, and every strategic decision was measured against this benchmark. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝: Each team member at SpaceX, from engineers to project managers, internalized this metric. This ensured a unified direction and relentless pursuit of efficiency, leading to breakthroughs like reusable rockets and optimized engine designs. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬: Space X is now the industry leader (hands down) because their cost per kg is a fraction of what it usually costs. What's your North Star Metric to align your team and drive relentless innovation? #innovation #focus #northstarmetric

😉 This is proof that chopsticks are superior to fork and knife. 🥢 Chopsticks can pick up anything, including rocket boosters 🚀 Jokes aside, SpaceX’s bold attempt to use "Mechazilla"—a towering structure with massive metal "chopstick" arms—to catch the Super Heavy booster post-launch. Elon Musk’s crazy vision: rapid reuse, possibly launching again within 30 minutes of touchdown. It gave me goosebumps to see the euphoria in the SpaceX team. I feel like cheering alongside them. Mission-driven teams tackling hard problems, pushing at the boundary of the impossible—that’s where innovation thrives. 🌌 How do we build more teams like this, to do the hard things that others shy away from?
