Elon Musk is hard-working and how!
The Tech Mogul who heads six companies, and now leads the Department of Government Efficiency along with Vivek Ramaswamy under the Trump 2.0 administration, has been working through the weekends now. One of the richest billionaires in the world, Musk took to X (formerly, Twitter) to share a post, where he wrote, “Very few in the bureaucracy actually work the weekend, so it’s like the opposing team just leaves the field for 2 days! Working the weekend is a superpower.”
Although Musk was only trying to boast about how hard-working he is, the internet is left divided on his self-proclaimed superpower!
While one internet user asked Musk, “Who doesn't work weekends in 2025?” another quipped, “Trump's golfing isn't he?”
Another netizen placed a piece of well-meaning advice for Musk, saying, “Work smarter, not harder.” One internet user even had a touch of sarcasm in their voice, as the tweet read, “Elon do you ever take a break!”
However, several netizens Musk’s practice of had-work and dedication, as they said, “I don’t know how Elon Musk does it. However, extremely glad that we have his teams working to improve life on Earth and beyond,” “That explains a lot, @elonmusk! While bureaucracy takes the weekend off, innovators work around the clock to build the future. Maybe that’s why progress moves faster in the private sector than in government!”
One internet user debated the concept of time off on weekends, saying, “Also, weekends are an entirely arbitrary rest period. Better to take a break as and when needed rather than dictated by a made up calendar. Required rest differs significantly from one individual to the other,” while another netizen posed a very valid concern, “So let me get this straight you are advocating working overtime instead of 40 hour weeks. I thought we were cutting the budget & with all the new remote control bugs you put in all the gov computers are you not just going to override what they do anyway? sounds like you and the X team should do everything cause you all know better how this whole thing works.”
Elon Musk’s hard work and loyalty to Donald Trump have earned him an important position in the Trump 2.0 administration, as the Tesla CEO, has been given the responsibility of heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Although Musk was reportedly eyeing his office inside the Oval Office, West Wing of the White House, he has not been lucky enough. US President Donald Trump clarified earlier that a separate office has been set up for Tesla chief Musk and his team, and it is not a part of the Oval Office.
Although the extensive ties his businesses have to the government have raised questions about Musk's potential conflicts in the role., it has been estimated that Musk’s current worth lies in figures that ordinary men might make mistakes at, while counting. It is a whopping amount of over 400 billion in USD, which made him the richest man on earth in 2022. In the last two years, he has been holding the second rank on the list of the richest billionaires in the world.
