The best part about Elon is the story in the new Eric Berger SpaceX book.
Gwen had just started at SpaceX and spend a while coming up with a big plan for what she was going to do there - how she would sell rockets, etc. etc.
In response to this plan, Elon said "I don't want you to spend time making plans about doing stuff. Just do stuff."
Obviously there is a time and a place for planning, but after working at a monster Telco that is utterly consumed by archaic process and plans and documents, I would kill to work for a boss that prioritized doing stuff over planning doing stuff.
