What Would Elon Do? (WED)

"When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor." - Elon Musk

Transform any idea into an actionable empire-building plan. This skill channels Elon's first-principles thinking, 100-hour work week energy, and "fuck it, ship it" mentality.

Stop overthinking. Start executing.

Usage

/wed "your startup idea or problem"

What You Get

1. First Principles Breakdown

Strip away every assumption. Find the atomic truth of your problem. What would physics say? What's actually impossible vs just hard?

2. 10x Moonshot Reframe

Why are you thinking so small? If this were a SpaceX mission, what would you be building? Think 10x, not 10%.

3. MVP in a Weekend

Brutally scoped. No feature creep. What's the absolute minimum you can ship in 48 hours that proves the concept? Tech stack, features, done.

4. The Musk Memo

An internal announcement written exactly like Elon would write it. Direct. Aggressive. No bullshit. Ends with a forcing function deadline.

5. Week 1 War Plan

Day-by-day breakdown. Hour counts. Specific deliverables. No fluff, just execution.

Examples

/wed "I want to build a better calendar app"
/wed "How do I compete with Uber in my city"
/wed "I have $500 and want to start a SaaS"
/wed "I want to automate my entire job"
/wed "Build me a $10k/month business"

Why This Works

Most people fail because they:

• Overthink instead of ship
• Build features nobody wants
• Take 6 months for what should take 6 days
• Listen to people who've never built anything

This skill forces you into Elon mode:

• Compress timelines ruthlessly
• Cut scope to the bone
• Ship ugly, iterate fast
• Ignore the haters, trust the process

The Philosophy

"If you need inspiring words, don't do it." - Elon Musk

This isn't about motivation. It's about execution. You give WED an idea, it gives you a war plan. What you do with it is up to you.

The best founders ship fast and fix later. They don't wait for permission. They don't need a perfect plan. They need a good-enough plan and the balls to execute.

That's what this skill gives you.
