How Elon Musk hired ex-Tesla president @jonmcneill is a story you shouldn't miss: Tesla promised a sale of 12,000 cars. Six weeks in, they'd sold 3. Elon was staring at disaster. Jon went undercover. He visited 8 Tesla stores, test drove cars using fake emails, and never got a callback. He called sales ops and asked: "How many people test drove in the last 30 days and never got called back?" Answer: 9,000. Jon immediately ordered teams in Asia and Europe to start calling every single one back. Sales exploded. When he called Elon to apologize for overstepping, Elon cut him off: "You've proven you can be useful. Why don't you just join?" Don't ask for permission to lead. Find the bottleneck and fix it. Results beat resumes. Every time. @thesamparr @ShaanVP

The Tesla Model Y was the #1 selling vehicle in China in March of any kind, despite being ~3x more expensive than its closest rivals.

In 1917, a young man helped sell World War I to the American public as "the war to make the world safe for democracy." He was so effective that when he returned home, he realized something dangerous: Ideas were more powerful than bullets. His name was Edward Bernays. He is the reason you think bacon and eggs is the ideal American breakfast. A pork company hired him. He got 5,000 doctors to sign a letter saying a heavier breakfast was healthier for Americans. Bacon sales exploded overnight. He is the reason women started smoking in public. The American Tobacco Company wanted to double their market. Bernays paid women to march in the 1929 Easter Parade holding lit cigarettes, calling them "torches of freedom." The press ate it up. Smoking became a feminist statement. Lung cancer in women skyrocketed for decades. He wrote the first book on public relations. He taught the first university course on it at NYU. He coined the term "engineering of consent." Hitler asked him to work for him. So did Franco. So did Somoza. He turned them all down. But he said yes to every US president from Coolidge to Eisenhower. His most famous political trick? Calvin Coolidge was seen as cold and unlikable. Alice Roosevelt Longworth said he "was weaned on a pickle." Bernays' solution: invite Al Jolson, the Dolly Sisters, and Broadway stars to breakfast at the White House. The next day, every newspaper in America ran the story. The New York Times headline read: "President Nearly Laughs." Coolidge won the election. Bernays understood something most people still don't: There are 431 different ideas competing for your attention every single day. Ads, friends, news, opinions. All trying to change your behavior. The people who win are the ones who understand how public consent actually works. This 30 minute interview from 1986, when Bernays was 95 years old, is the most honest explanation of mass persuasion ever recorded. He breaks down his exact framework: goal-setting, research, strategy (the 4 M's: mind power, manpower, mechanics, money), organization, themes, timing, and tactics. This is the playbook governments and corporations have used for 100 years. Bookmark this & give it 30 minutes today, no matter what.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket just blasted a cargo ship full of supplies up to the International Space Station. Then, the bottom half of the rocket flew all the way back down and landed perfectly on the ground. It's on its 7th flight in a row. Reusable rockets still feel like sci-fi magic.

Life hacks can be so helpful 😊

Starlink has done more than any NGO to lift people out of poverty by connecting them with a means of education and a market for their good & services via the Internet

Cybertruck is so awesome. Until you’ve tried it out, you have no idea, because there’s nothing like it. Best product Tesla has ever made to date.

That's really clever.

The Tesla Cybertruck isn’t trying to fit in. It’s daring the entire auto industry to catch up. Love it or hate it, you can’t ignore it. 🚀💯
