Billionaire Elon Musk is the richest person in the world. As CEO of aerospace company SpaceX, electric car company Tesla and neurotechnology Neuralink, as well as founder of The Boring Company, which builds tunnels, Musk has a lot to manage every day.
“I work a lot,” Musk told Joe Rogan during the last episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience”. “Usually, I will be in meetings at work until 1 or 2 in the morning. Saturday [and] Sunday, usually not, but sometimes. “
So, how does Musk have time to do all this? It reduces sleep time to a minimum.
Musk sleeps “about six hours,” he told Rogan. “I tried to sleep less, but total productivity decreases,” he said. “I don’t want to sleep more than six [hours]. “
Musk said that in the past he worked hundreds of hours a week. Sometimes the billionaire even slept on the floor under his desk at Tesla, reported the Wall Street Journal.
“There were times when, a few weeks … I didn’t exactly count, but I just slept for a few hours, work, slept for a few hours, work, seven days a week,” Musk told Kara Swisher in November 2018, recalling its effort to increase production of the Tesla Model 3. “Some of these [weeks] it must have been 120 hours or something. “
Musk admitted that the programming was not healthy, telling Swisher that he had “burned a lot of neurons”.
“Nobody should spend so many hours on their work,” he told Axios in 2018. “[It’s] not recommended for anyone. You’ll be a little crazy if you work 120 hours a week. “
