Elon Musk’s Controversial Approach to Meeting Deadlines: Working 12 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week

As the CEO of multiple companies, including SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk is no stranger to demanding work schedules and tight deadlines. However, his recent comments on social media have raised concerns about his approach to managing his team’s workload.

In a tweet, Musk stated that at Tesla, employees are expected to work “12 hours a day, 7 days a week” to meet deadlines and deliver on ambitious projects. He said this level of dedication is necessary to “achieve a 10x improvement, which is the goal.”

While Musk’s drive and determination to push his team to their limits are admirable, many have criticized this approach as unsustainable and potentially damaging to employees’ mental and physical health. Working long hours consistently has been linked to various negative outcomes, including burnout, poor sleep, and an increased risk of heart disease.

Others have pointed out that this level of intensity may not be necessary or even beneficial for all companies and projects. So it remains to be seen how Musk’s approach will impact his team and the success of his ventures in the long run.
