Elon Musk is now the richest person in the world. He controlled several large companies, including Tesla, SpaceX and the Boring Company.
No wonder his work ethic is insane. But he warned not to imitate because it is not good for mental health.
"I work a lot. Normally, I have meetings until 1 or 2 in the morning. On Saturdays and Sundays I usually don't, but sometimes I do," he said some time ago.
He admitted that he only slept in small amounts, which was about 6 hours. Although it sounds short, the man who was born in South Africa said the time was enough for him to rest, nothing more and nothing less.
"I'm trying to sleep less, but my total productivity is dropping. I don't feel like sleeping more than 6 hours," Musk explained as quoted by CNBC.
In the past when he was younger, Elon Musk worked insanely hundreds of hours per week in total. Not infrequently he even sleeps on the Tesla factory floor.
"There are times where I only sleep a few hours, work, sleep a few more hours, then work again, 7 days a week," Musk said recently.
In fact, sometimes he works a total of up to 120 hours per week. Elon Musk later admitted that such a work schedule was not healthy for the body and should not be imitated because he said he could make it crazy.
"Nobody has to work that much. Not recommended for anyone. You'd go a little crazy if you worked 120 hours a week," said Elon Musk.
