    What Elon Musk has been doing at Twitter since he took over the company isn’t new - he’s used the same management strategies when he took over Tesla and when he founded SpaceX.
    The Wall Street Journal spoke with three former employees to better understand Musk’s management playbook.

    80 to 100 hours a week is exactly what I did for years when working for my own business. There is no way I would do the same as an employee and asking that to employees is nonsense unless they have their fair share of the pie.

      That's why Elon hands out stock options ... supposedly lots of factory-line employees at Freemont gigafactory who joined during Tesla's early years are now millionaires ... so he says.

      Agree with that completely. What I found funny is that he comes in, fires X% of people and then tell the rest: you will now have to put in +100% hours weekly but you will feel special about it. It’s nonsense, no one can go at that pace for long, the burnout itself will leave you depressed.

    Re: Intensity and long hours - I worked at a small company for a short time. Everyone was supposed to fill out their schedules. One member of upper management had a brutal schedule. They worked for an hour before going for a swim at 6:00 am. Min. 12 hour days. I was super impressed. As I stayed at the company longer, I realized their secret: They weren't doing real work. It was all meetings, travelling to and from meetings, and walking around the office critiquing the work of others. They didn't do much actual work. These "80 hour weeks" often include rubbing shoulders with other similar-minded people (and winning them over in order to engage in various business deals - necessary but hardly "demanding work" if you don't mind it). Sometimes these "high performers" are actually disappearing to take naps throughout the day.
    Many of these "high performing" management types exaggerate their 'intensity' in order to guilt their employees into working harder. It's actually insanely demanding to do boring, menial, or physically/mentally demanding work for more than 60 hours per week; it takes it's toll and often doesn't equate to success.

      This is exactly why Wall Street and the business/financial/banking sector has such high turnover. The average person in those jobs is staring at a screen for 10-12 hours a days and doing labor and thought intensive work, spreadsheets, graphs, sales, analysis, etc. Sure, its not physically intensive like outdoor manual labor, but its a huge brain drain to have to do all of that while managing your daily life, kids, meeting sales or company goals, etc. Most of these mega CEOs fit the work around their schedule, while the average person doesn't have that luxury.

    I had a CEO who literally idolises Elon and works like him too. It was extremely intense when I was there. I don’t mind working extra hours but it simply means that i can’t really have a life outside of work. I was struggling with some family issues with lots of family commitments at the time, there’s no way I could balance both.
    I saw how the loyal employees in the company typically has no family and spend festive seasons in the office together. in one of the sharing sessions by the CEO, he himself said that he didn’t really live a successful life considered how his marriage and relationships fell into shambles because of how much he worked, yet he expects us to put in the same amount of hours as him.
    I soon came to realise that the company wasn’t suitable for me - I have a family to take care of, to spend time with and I don’t want to look back and be filled with regrets.

    I have talked to enough developers at tesla to know I was right to decline their job offer. He expects everyone who are not hourly employees to work 70-80 hours per week as a norm. If any of you have done that as your regular work week for several months you will know how it destroys your body and mind. Not everyone can or should work like that. Under musk you are not a person. You are a resource and will be used until you can't go any further and then another resource will simply replace you.

      Actually some people work because they love their work, even if it pays them a sh*tty lifestyle that wont get any better anytime soon.
      Some others love their work and get paid tons but still decide to live a pretty spartan life in a small flat until they die, because they want to keep working.
      These people are not worrying about what 'they' is going to say, whoever the heck that is.
      They just find a more definite purpose, a meaning, a sense of passion, in their work more than say, in taking a beer or lightning a blunt, playing or watching a game, or just traveling around the world.

Some people nowadays, even in America, won't get it as the word freedom is just overused without they actually make a great sacrifice, that is maybe the reason why some ask such question that you asked?
      In a sense you are right you work for a better life, but your interpretation for a better life is too personal just for you that you missed the whole point of "better life", I guess different culture and different generation makes the purpose askew to more personal ?

      what a daft & myopic statement. His goal was never to create a car company or a space exploration company. It was to speed up the development and adoption of cars using more sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel. He has done exactly that. Those other companies would not be doing as much or even be as far along in tech without Tesla. He even open sources his tech which none of his competitors do! Second, he has increased the human interest in and industry toward space development and exploration by several degrees of magnitude. His goal is to speed up the probability that we can become space faring. He's doing that. NASA/government is reacting positively to it. It's wonderful. Everyone is benefiting... in both cases. He is THE lightning rod for practical advancement in our time. And being such will undoubtedly come with an abrasive personality and alligators/crabs like yourself who prefer to drag others under. Now, he's put abnormally crazy risk - again - into another enterprise - not to just run another social media company... but to try and create a medium that buffers us all against the advancement of control over information and thought.

      Yes, when everyone is struggling in a year or two, because inflation has killed the spending power, and companies go under, you will see the shift of power move to employers, and people are going to need to work harder and longer to make lower salaries. That’s what happens in a high unemployment situation. You can thank Biden for trying to kill the economy to bring inflation under control. Maybe him allowing the printing of all that money wasn’t such a great idea. Problem is, li wraps do not thing that logical, and they will never be able to connect the dots, so they will keep voting for the same people over and over, hoping for change.

      The way he fired so many twitter workers and then begged some to come back is reckless and irresponsible.
