No they don’t. Full stop. Let’s stop fabricating this bullshit. That’s 16hrs a day M-F with 10hrs Sat/Sun. Elon Musk is not doing those hours period, let alone while also finding time to play Elden Ring.
Yeah people need to stop acting like they're the most hardworking people out there. They definitely are not. Especially when you can be CEO of multiple companies and no one bats an eye.
Well, let's do some quick math. Let's count billable hours in a day with a minimum billable hour being 1 hour. If you work a 6 hour work day, and can complete the average task in 15 minutes, that works out to 24 possible billable hours in one day accounting for a total of 90 minutes of actual work.
So yeah, on paper it's actually really easy to "work" 100 hours per week
I totally agree. I always think it's weird when they have interviews or podcasts about talking to CEOs and they all say something like "you just have to work hard enough". Yeah. Okay.
Where are the podcasts where they ask lottery winners for some vapid aphorism about hard work paying off?
They could and should do a podcast of that married couple of actuaries who gamed and won the Michigan State lottery... I mean that was a lot of hardwork lol.
Jerry and Marge Selbee if anyone wants to look them up.
It was a pretty decent little movie also
Even if Elon Musk is putting in 100-hour weeks, he's the CEO of five companies, which means being CEO of one company is a half-time gig at most.
Or 20%? 🤔
Highly doubt he actually plays Elden Ring
He played it enough to make one of the worst builds I've ever seen. A heavy rolling mage with two shields......
