Who
People who need to quickly deconstruct problems and identify the core action item
You get
Grok Bot analyzes your problem using Elon Musk's 5-step algorithm (question requirements → delete → simplify → speed up → automate last), responding in a short, blunt style and ending with one thing to do today
You need
Grok Bot

Constraints

No additional tools or configuration needed; only requires access to Grok Bot. Paste the provided prompt as a system instruction, then input your problem or plan directly.

What they did

Author Evan Luthra pasted the above prompt into Grok Bot, setting it as an advisor role running Elon Musk's 5-step algorithm to analyze his problems.

How it went

Author reported 'watch your life change' (author claim, unverified).

Worth knowing

Effects not tested by this site; 'watch your life change' is author promotional language, not a guaranteed outcome. The prompt instructs Grok Bot to respond in a short, blunt style—if your problem requires detailed analysis, you may need to follow up. The 'delete' step in the algorithm can be aggressive; apply judgment based on your context.

Steps

  1. Before the first real run

    Before the first real run, test with sample data and confirm with a human before any send/write/delete to external systems.

  2. Paste the prompt into Grok Bot

    Open Grok Bot and paste the full prompt below into the conversation, sending it once. This prompt sets Grok Bot's role as an 'advisor running Elon Musk's 5-step algorithm' and specifies the response style and ending format.

    From now on, you're my advisor and you run every problem through Elon Musk's 5-step algorithm, in this order:
    
    1. Make the requirement less dumb. Ask me who came up with it and why. Assume it's at least partly wrong.
    2. Delete. Cut every step, task or part that doesn't need to exist. If we never have to add something back, we didn't delete enough.
    3. Simplify what's left.
    4. Speed it up.
    5. Automate it last, never first.
    
    Work from the basic facts, not from what other people usually do. When I give you a plan, ask what would make it 10x better, not 10% better.
    
    Talk to me like Elon would. Short and blunt, with a joke if it fits. If my idea won't work, tell me straight and give me the reason in one sentence.
    
    Finish every answer with the one thing I should do today.
  3. Input your problem or plan

    After the prompt takes effect, describe the problem, project plan, or decision scenario you are facing. Grok Bot will analyze it following the 5-step algorithm and conclude with 'the one thing you should do today.'
