Elon Musk on working 120 hours in a week
Elon Musk spoke about working 120 hours in a week in an interview with Leslie Stahl on Sunday’s “60 Minutes” on CBS. In the interview that went live in December 2018, Musk said that he worked on the floor fixing problems and slowdowns in the assembly line as Tesla struggled to ramp up production of Model 3 car. According to Musk, the delays in production pushed the Tesla to the brink. “It was life or death. We were losing $50 [million], sometimes $100 million a week. Running out of money.”In April of the same year, Elon Musk told “CBS This Morning” host Gayle King hat he sometimes sleeps at the Tesla factory to show his team that he doesn’t ask them to do anything he won’t do himself. “Yeah, I’m sleeping on the factory floor, not because I think that’s a fun place to sleep. You know. Terrible,” Musk told King. “I don’t believe like people should be experiencing hardship while the CEO is, like, off on vacation.”
Elon Musk said he lived in factory floor for three full years
In a November 2022 interview with Baron Capital CEO Ron Baron, Elon Musk said he was “living in the factory in Fremont, and the one in Nevada, for three years straight. That was my primary residence. “I slept on the couch at one point, in a tent on the roof, and for a while there, I was just sleeping under my desk, which is out in the open in the factory,” he said. “It was damn uncomfortable sleeping on that floor and always, when I woke up, I’d smell like metal dust.”
Elon Musk said his DOGE team works 120 hours a week
