Elon Musk is tired, his back hurts and his mom wants him to get some sleep.

Maybe he should try tweeting less.

"His tenacity has led to superhuman-like accomplishments"

Was this written by ChatGPT? No human could possibly be that stupid.

Poor baby.

Oh wait, no. Billionaire manchild. My mistake.

Why does the amount of money someone has lessen the impact of overwork?

It lessens my capacity for sympathy towards them, because they don't need to work as hard as they do to make a living, they simply do it for the ego and adrenaline rush.

And this was the most avoidable situation possible for Elon, notwithstanding how many fires he's putting out that he himself set.

Studies in wartime comprehensively prove over extended hours produce lower productivity overall, with rapid decline in health and quality of output.

Maybe Musk needs to learn how to work smarter not longer.

Delegate?

People are built differently. There may be some adrenaline associated with his positioning. He might be. He's still only working a 3/4 time week.

If he said it in a tweet, well, he doesn't expect people to believe him anyway. This apparently was in-person to the wsj. But I'd like independent confirmation.

Is he counting the constant inane tweeting?

(Sleep deprivation perhaps goes a long way towards explaining that, of course...)
