Elon Musk took to X to share a post about how there are films on “lone inventor” but “almost none about manufacturing”. The Tesla CEO’s tweet attracted reactions from many, including Anand Mahindra. In his tweet, the Mahindra and Mahindra Chairperson opened up about the early days of his career and also talked about his humble beginnings.

It all started with a post by an X user who goes by DogeDesigner. “A million movies about cars. But hardly any movie about manufacturing. Someone should make a movie and tell the world how hard it is to do high-volume manufacturing,” the X user tweeted.

Elon Musk retweeted the post and added, “Many movies exist about a lone inventor in a garage having a eureka moment, but almost none about manufacturing, so it’s underappreciated by the public. Compared to the insane pain of reaching high-volume, positive-margin production, prototypes are a piece of cake”.

Anand Mahindra reacted to Elon Musk’s post and wrote, “Couldn’t agree more”. He added in the following few lines, “I started my career on the shop floor of an auto plant. And have never stopped being in awe of the relentless effort & non-stop problem-solving that goes into making products at high volume. The heroes of manufacturing do indeed deserve to have films made about them. More so because the films we make of our cars being manufactured get large viewership on YouTube. So there’s certainly an audience out there looking for more”.
