He’s only the most successful entrepreneur alive. But sure visa holders need their beauty sleep. Seriously you can’t stay up to 1am to have the company of the worlds richest person? What an opportunity to learn. This thread is totally nuts

> What an opportunity to learn I suspect you've never been around Musk or people of Musk's class. What could you possibly learn that would materially improve anything in your life other than "you get to keep your job (for now)"? Or is it just curiosity you want to satisfy?

  His habits. You can’t regularly work 80 hour weeks without packing a few tricks. You can’t build multiple billion dollar companies without knowing something others don’t. Often I find when talking to successful people, they’ll make a revealing offhand comment that’s pure gold and can in fact change your life - if you’re paying attention. An example might be Einstein and Steve Jobs having a full wardrobe of duplicates of the same outfit. Ok, but why? Because they realize the mind is only capable of resolving a finite number of dilemmas per day and choosing what to wear depletes that resource. An eccentric habit, but revealing indeed. After being sold on the theory, they went all in. I wonder to what degree they executed on insights like that where the rest of us just brushed them off

    You mean shitposting on twitter? Thanks, I’m quite good at that as is. And yeah, I could probably buy a company and hire some competent people to manage them for me from a litany of money if I happen to be born into that wealth. And this “same outfit” bullshit is just propaganda for making you believe that you are also a temporarily embarrassed billionaire and you actually are part of this wealthy group, when in fact you are further away from them then from some poor gal in Thailand working for a dollar a week. People are not machine, you can probably only productively work 3 hours a day.

Who burns down $44 billions in record time by fking up twitter faster than a lettuce rots? Oh, and it will not only burn down that, but he has his tesla shares as collateral.
