How if started: How it’s going: https://t.co/MklnDc0gEM

In 2015, Elon Musk posted a simple tweet inviting engineers to join Tesla’s Autopilot team. Fast forward almost a decade, and that vision is sitting in the driver’s seat—literally without a driver. Nic Cruz Patane’s post captures the journey from ambition to achievement in two frames: the initial call for talent and the view from a self-driving Tesla interior.

Why this moment matters

  • It shows how clear public goals can attract top talent over time.
  • Learning in public—like Musk’s tweet—creates accountability and momentum.
  • The progress from concept to execution proves how small public starts can yield massive results.
