Elon Musk is the world’s richest man. He’s a billionaire giant in the tech industry. Leading Tesla Motors and SpaceX.

So whenever Musk talks and tweets, people often listen.

At one point, Elon Musk may have been the hardest working CEO in America. He claims he had worked 120-hours per week during the height of Telsa’s do-or-die production deadlines.

Musk’s outrageous work hours were 3-times the standard 40-hour workweek.

But it came at a price.

Overwork ≠ Happiness

But according to Musk, overworking is the root of all unhappiness.

In a 2018 interview with AXIOS for HBO, Musk spoke poignantly about his work-life balance. Or should we say, lack thereof?

Because Musk admitted in that interview, he was sleeping in the Tesla Factory.
