Part 11/12:
Elon Musk advocates for openness in innovation, notably by open-sourcing Tesla’s patents to foster progress, despite the traditional patent system aiming to protect inventors. He criticizes the patent system, suggesting it often inhibits innovation rather than promotes it, especially in pharmaceuticals where high development costs can limit access.
He also emphasizes hard work and dedication, mentioning that he sleeps around six hours a night, often working tirelessly and living a frugal lifestyle in his early days — sleeping on couches or in offices to save costs.
