Funny seeing a post about these as that's what I was recently reminded of when reading this post:

("80+ hours per week" ... what kind of a psycho even writes this down and puts it out there as if it was normal in any way...)
This is what every employee of Musk's companies should look forward to
That's what their ideal compensation and workload be if their boss would have their way
The thing is, Musk claims to work that hard himself (or more), but the difference is that he is a direct beneficiary and earns millions per hour. Whereas a regular employee earns X amount per month, that's it. Maybe some scraps in stock market value, but one of Musk's tweets has more of an impact on those than a career of 80 hour work weeks would of any employee.
Also, one might be forgiven for doubting him on that; unless he's counting 'painfully stupid tweets' as 'work', the sheer volume of them would call the _possibility_ of this into question.
I think you wouldn't be forgiven if you don't cast doubt.
The guy runs 6 independent companies (at least their stock is!). There aren't 6*80 hours in a week.
