X User Shares Throwback Pic Of Elon Musk Claiming That He Never Wanted To Be A CEO
A user on X platform posted an old photo of Musk, depicting him working on a computer. The caption on this photo read, ¡°Elon Musk used to rewrite code of engineers working at Zip2 after they went home, and used to work 120 hours a week. He never really wanted to be a CEO.¡±?
?
As this post started circulating, Musk commented on it and simply wrote, ¡°True¡±.
Amidst the praises on this post, many users noted that the assertion of working 120 hours a week appears impractical. Working 120 hours in a week implies working for over 17 hours per day. An X user wrote, ¡°There are only 168 hours in the week, meaning that on average per day there would only be around 7 hours of non-working time left. So he spent the rest of his 7 hours per day sleeping without time for literally anything else?¡±

Another commented, ¡°That¡¯s a heavy load to carry for sure. It¡¯s essential to remember that balance is key in all things, even in pursuit of success. Working excessive hours can lead to burnout and have negative effects on productivity and well-being. It¡¯s great that Elon has shown dedication, but everyone deserves time for rest and personal fulfillment. Life is more than just work. It¡¯s about finding that sweet spot where passion meets sustainability. Let¡¯s all strive for a healthier approach to achieving our goals.¡±
Musk Started Coding At The Age Of 13
Musk is no stranger to coding or computer programming. According to his biography by Walter Isaacson, Musk taught himself Pascal and Turbo C++ when he was just 13 years old. He even developed a video game called Blastar, which he sold to a magazine for $500.
His initial foray into entrepreneurship occurred in 1995 with Global Link Information Network, later rebranded as Zip2. The company specialized in creating an Internet city guide featuring maps and directions. Eventually, Compaq acquired Zip2 in 1999, netting Musk $22 million for his 7 percent stake.
Donald Trump Is Likely To Offer An Advisory Role To Elon Musk If He Is Re-elected
Former President Donald Trump is reportedly contemplating offering billionaire Elon Musk an advisory position in the White House if he secures reelection after the 2024 presidential race, as per a report from the Wall Street Journal.
The outlet suggests that discussions have taken place between the two billionaires regarding a potential role for the Tesla CEO, allowing him to formally advise and influence policies concerning border security and the economy. These are areas Musk frequently addresses on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). Notably, Trump and Musk's once strained relationship has improved, with the two speaking on the phone "several times a month." Additionally, Musk and billionaire investor Nelson Peltz have explored collaborating with Trump on initiatives aimed at preventing voter fraud and discouraging elites from supporting President Biden's reelection campaign.
