The Book of Elon

from Gentleman Speculator · host Andrew Flattery

Eric Jorgenson is back on the pod to talk about his new book, The Book of Elon, a five-year project distilling Elon Musk’s most useful ideas in his own words. Eric and I talk about why Musk is the greatest living entrepreneur, the recursive logic of ‘stacking S-curves,’ and the case for a generation of builders rather than financiers. Along the way: the 2008 split-the-money story, the toy casting that became the gigapress, and why deleting is harder, and more important, than automating.Buy the book: https://www.elonmuskbook.org/Follow Eric: https://x.com/EricJorgensonEric’s Smart Friends podcast: https://www.ejorgenson.com/Music: “The Big Ship” by Brian EnoAll opinions expressed by Andrew Flattery and his guests are solely their own and do not reflect the opinions of Flattery Wealth Management, a registered investment advisor.
