Elon Musk explains how he cross-pollinates knowledge between his companies. This is his superpower: “I've had to solve a lot of problems in a lot of different arenas, which you get this cross-vitalization of knowledge, and problem-solving. What is trivial in another arena, is a super power in another arena. If you take, say, volume manufacturing of complex objects in the automotive industry — I had to work on solving that. When translated to the space industry, it’s like being Superman. Rockets are made in very small numbers. If you apply automotive manufacturing techniques to satellites and rockets, it’s like being Superman. Then, if you take advanced material science from rockets and apply it to the automotive industry, you get Superman again.”
