A Day In The Life Of Elon Musk

Here's an inside look at the daily life and routine of one of the world's most influential people, Elon Musk. The founder of PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX, and more is one of the busiest people on earth.

"Nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week." These are the words of multi-billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, who not only runs two of the most innovative companies of current times, Tesla and SpaceX, but also juggles travel, interviews, and a family of 5 teenage sons on a daily basis.

It's no secret that Elon Musk's fruitful ventures have been built off the back of hard work, dedication, and smart decision making – but what about the details? Wouldn't it be great to see how the most influential man in the world organizes his time and manages to cram everything into a seemingly impossible schedule?

Working 25 hours a day, but there is only 24 hours in a day,
Borrowed 1 hour from the next day

He's not lying about the education system in this country.

[ESSwiftOfficial]

He disagreed with his kids school, so he built his own... Legend.

[nsdfancy]

Are you sure those “critical emails” are not Twitter loll

[gtfour]

Actually Elon doesn't need food but he has to eat something to not appear suspicious.

[charlesdolling]

He doesn't need advertising, memes do it for him.

Well I learned something today. Elon Musk takes showers. And he prefers hot water. Fascinating...

[josevillalobos]

We need to take Elon’s school ideas and standardize them.

[Iwiesohalt]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. This man likes to take a hot shower EVERYDAY. Who is this guy. Crazy morning routine

[shekels]

He knows what his purpose is. That’s why he barely needs sleep. He is driven

[haveanicelife]

my man didn’t like school in a America, so he made one complete mad lad

[MarcoPurovesi]

180 hours every week? He’s really out here 26/7 and still has time for twitter

[Dingusdoofus]

Imagine trying to balance between 5 kids and sleeping on the factory floor.

I'm 75. Looking back at my life, one of the things I'm proudest of is co-owning 3 Montessori children schools with wife #2 and employing up to 40 people. Based on my personal experience, I would bet that Elon is very proud of the fact he employs (both directly and indirectly) a HUGH number of people worldwide in good paying jobs and that the total number continues to increase by the tens of thousands every year. For this fact alone, Elon is MY hero and is #1 on my list of people I hope to someday meet.

People who judge Elon negatively should read his biography. Everything Elon and his brother have now, they earned the hard way -- by working for it. No one gave them anything and they repeatedly risked losing EVERYTHING they earned to grow their dreams. I know of no other person who can claim that.

[lanzaralorenzo]

I don't believe this story. Where is the precious "checking memes" time that we know Elon loves?

[JustMe-tvuo]

imagine being real life iron man, pushing the human race into the future and dedicated ur life to do so.. this man deserves the world hes pure i love how he gives the world better cheaper internet with spacelink just as a side project to make money for space taxi travels.. LEGEND.

[GeronimOCZECH]

What do you eat for breakfast?
*Normal people:* Food?
*Elon:* Critical Emails

[howareya]

180 hours a week? Ok. There's only 168 hours in a week.

The only reason he is developing Tesla autopilot is so that he can eat breakfast in the car

7:05 This is when Elon has time to Tweet. Just remember, every time he tweets, he's taking a dump.
