Make Revenue On the Way

Meta invested a lot of money on Metaverse and in the end it only had 25 users. [No credible source]
The approach at Telsa however is to make money on the way too. This make the employees motivated.

Transcribed & Paraphrased:

The way you want to structure the development is:
- You need to say it's going to take a long time,
- How can I set up the product development roadmap so that I'm making Revenue along the way
- Don't set up for a zero one loss function where it doesn't work until it works.
You want to make it useful almost immediately and
- then you want to slowly deploy it and at scale
- and and you want to improve the product over time.
Revenue along the way is extremely important because otherwise you cannot build these these large undertakings. They don't make sense economically.
Also from the point of view of the team working on it they need the dopamine along the way. They're not just going to make a promise about this being useful, this is going to change the world in 10 years when it works. i.e. Team needs to be motivated.
