Tesla Owners Silicon Valley(@teslaownersSV):Elon Musk on starting companies. "I remember a good friend of mine saying that starting a company is like eating glass and staring into the abyss." Most people ask founders for a pep talk. Elon flips it. If you need encouragement to begin, don't. Building a company isn't a hype cycle. It's pain you choose on purpose, with no guarantee the abyss has a floor. • Glass — the daily grind that cuts • Abyss — uncertainty with no safety net • Still ship Tesla. SpaceX. xAI. Same pattern every time. "If you need encouragement, don't start a company."
