their attitudes in the
real life, and it was even
forced to give up the presidency of his own company.
It was not a good year for him, but Musk is still standing and does not miss any opportunity to stand out.

On November 26, he responded via Twitter to a note published by the Wall Street Journal, claiming that "despite (or thanks to) Elon Musk," Tesla is one of the most sought after companies by young people in search of a job in Silicon Valley "Unite to create new and exciting technological worlds! If you care what everything is done, @SpaceX, @Tesla, @BoringCompany & @Neuralink are the places where you have to to be, "said Musk, claiming his plans. Immediately, he added, "There are much easier workplaces, but no one has ever changed the world by working 40 hours a week." And he ended by saying, "If you like what you do, (almost) it does not make you want to work".

The user @margrethmpossi asked him: "How many hours a week do you need to change the world?". "It varies from person to person, but around 80 hours, reaching a maximum of 100 hours, the level of pain increases exponentially above 80," he badured.

That sounds disproportionate, but it's not so hard to believe coming from
a person who usually sleeps in your business.
