Elon Musk Is Back at Work and Burning Through Executives | WSJ via MSN

>Finding shade was easier when his Department of Government Efficiency effort was churning 120 hours a week for the Trump administration. That came to an end for him in late May. Now Musk is burning hot (if not always 100% focused). Stop giving him credit for hard work. He had a gaming rig in his Washington office, FFS. Despite, you know, never using computers or something.

I could churn 120 hours too if everything was done by others, and nobody would argue with me if I make hundreds of comments online and watch youtube on paid time

He'll replace them all with a couple of Optimus interns and a big balls intern.

Tesla's Chief Operating Officer now goes by the name BigBalls; and only Bigballs. Not Mr. BigBalls, just BigBalls.

Everyone thinking he is hard worker should check his twitter account. He tweets/likes/retweets something amost every half an hour through entire day.

“Thank you for your contributions,” Musk—who has a way with goodbyes—told his outgoing chief executive at X, Linda Yaccarino, on Wednesday. That is all it takes to 'have a way' with goodbyes these days? Jesus that article made him out to be... Jesus.

Does he talk to Mr. Japan?

This I believe is referred to as a puff piece - PR plant, it's target audience is not you, it's target is wsj type investors...

He needs to fire people to give the implication that it's their fault that Tesla stock is dropping

It gives him something to put on his 5 bullet points for the week ;)

The guy was always into performative bullshit. "Look at me! Working hard! Sleeping on the Tesla factory floor!" Which is what he did, actually, but most likely he was just in everyone's way. If your idea of work-life balance is sleeping in the office, you are going to go insane, which is exactly what happened to Musk. Also, try that WITHOUT the cocktail of uppers every day.

Sounds likely. This guys companies all seem to be shit, and the common factor is Musk (save SpaceX where to all indications they have minders to minimize his impact).

Uppers burn you eventually because you dont let body and mind regenerate.

he's a hype man, the only way to keep the shareholder interests is to announce a miracle tech every year to keep the hype up as they try to make baby steps... that's great IF you can make it to the end with the baby steps, but FSD and Mars are fucking LOOOOOOOONG ass away, I'd take his claims more seriously if it wasn't so obvious... he's a sales bot, I deal with a handful every week..

He thinks that's work.

I read that as sarcasm.

If his employees tweeted that much, what would he say about that? It sure is easy for him to suggest others work 80 hours a week every single week.

I would possibly believe that but the entire article was on the rather rosy side in their assessment of his capabilities.

Exactly, and he was tweeting like crazy, responding to tons of other people's tweets. So that was just his social media use. We'd all sound like we worked a lot harder if we could say "oh yeah, anytime I'm doing anything online, its work."

Its because he thinks that the time he is present at the office is work, even when it consists of shitposting on Twitter.

and he needed a special forces squad to hold his hand to go use the office bathroom. Guy is a toddler

To him working is being there somewhere in the building. It's why he truly doesn't believe he's lying about his hours because he's probably actually there in person with negative productivity: he causes issues that everyone else has to clean up.

>If his employees tweeted that much, what would he say about that? Depends. Nazi propaganda or some "woke lib BS"?

Nazi soldiers found out, after being on speed for 3-4 years. You become a wreck.

Just to give context. 120 hours a week is over 17 hours a day. You’d have to be working literally every waking minute every day. Like, when’s he going down the K-hole?

Or having 56 children?

When does he mow is grass? Maintain the house? Cook food? Take care of his children? People who brag about their work hours are just shitty people avoiding responsabilities outside of work.
