Jensen Huang: Elon Musk is the ultimate 'grind' master who drives everyone crazy Jensen Huang recently shared his thoughts on Elon Musk during Lex Fridman's podcast. He believes Musk has three core abilities: 1⃣️ Questioning everything When faced with anything, Musk loves to hit you with three relentless questions: ▫️ Is it necessary? ▫️ Does it have to be done this way? ▫️ Does it have to take this long? 2⃣️ Minimalism, but beyond just products Most people think minimalism is about 'making things simple.' But Musk's minimalism is system-level—streamlining everything from manufacturing processes to supply chains to management, all to the extreme. In Jensen Huang's words: 'You can’t remove anything else, but all the essential functions are there.' 3⃣️ Hands-on involvement that gets everyone grinding Why should your project be a top priority for suppliers? Because Musk shows up personally at the problem site to push things forward. Jensen Huang commented that when the boss himself acts with intense urgency, everyone else naturally follows suit and starts grinding too.
