A detailed look at the habits and preferences that define the lifestyle and work of the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX
Elon Musk, the renowned CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, as well as the owner of X (formerly Twitter), is known for his enviable success in the world of technology and business. But what does a day in the life of this tech mogul look like?
According to Business Insider, Musk’s day typically starts around 9:00 a.m., after just six hours of sleep as he usually goes to bed at 3:00 a.m. Despite his demanding schedule, Musk starts his day with a touch of simplicity and humor, admitting to enjoying eating only “0.4 donuts” at a time.
Like many of us, Musk’s day begins with checking his phone as soon as he wakes up, despite acknowledging this as a habit he hopes to change. Additionally, he attributes his daily shower routine to having a positive impact on his life, possibly serving as a time for personal reflection and clarity before tackling the day’s challenges.
When it comes to transportation, Musk alternates between driving a Cybertruck and a Tesla Model S with self-driving technology, showcasing his passion for transportation innovation and his personal involvement with his companies’ products. In terms of physical activity, while he has expressed little interest in exercise, Musk has shared on social media that he occasionally dedicates time to lifting weights almost every day.
In terms of work, Musk is known for his extreme dedication, working up to 120 hours a week and dividing his time between his various business commitments. He focuses on the “crisis of the moment” and at times extends his work days into the night, especially during critical projects or defining moments for his companies.
Despite his intense work ethic, Musk now strives to ensure at least six hours of sleep each night, reflecting a shift towards a healthier work-life balance. His daily routine intertwines relatively ordinary living habits with extraordinary work dedication, showcasing the multifaceted life of one of the world‘s most influential tech leaders.
