When you think of Billionaires, you may think of a person who is mean and doesn’t care about giving back to people, you just don’t care about them but there one person, one billionaire who isn’t like that… his name… Elon Musk who has recently overtaken Jeff Bezos who had $184 billion, Elon Musk is now the world's richest person according to google, he has $188 billion dollars.
Before the richest Elon Musk was a South African born American businessman who founded X.com in 1999 now known as PayPal,He also founded SpaceX in 2002 and Tesla Motors in 2003. Elon became a multimillionaire in his late 20s when he sold his start up companies but he’s not done yet,
once Tesla Motors now just Tesla Elon still works very hard 24/7 even sleeping on the floor of his factory, he said on Twitter “I want to be in more pain than my workers,if not I’m not doing it right” and he’s not just saying that to look good but he actually means it, he sold all his 6 California Homes and is still sleeping in one of the Tesla factories.
I asked my friend Felix, a Musk fan, what he thought about Elon’s crazy ideas and he said “ First you laugh then you copy. I know what he’s saying/doing is stupid for most people but that’s why people love him he’s not afraid to go out the box!!” Felix also said “when you look at billionaire/millionaires many of them keep all that money to themselves aka in the end game it’s all about them but Elon build different, he cares about the people, his vision is to help the human race go beyond and his money goes to our future, the guy is overall is wholesome, making EV so it helps the earth, donates his money,strong community with his fans,man’s on Twitter once in a while messing around posting memes and stuff I can go on and on!”
I feel that’s why many people on the internet felt joy when they heard the news that Elon was the richest because he felt human as weird as that sounds but it’s true I guess the one thing he has that other Millionaires don’t have is personality. But although all of that Elon is not scared to show his mistakes and let me touch on that real quick, what I realized is everyone is mess up and once I step back and look at how jacked up this world is, everybody that’s talking about how jacked up you are, well the only thing they’ve done better than you is they’ve hidden their messed up world better than you have and all these news people judging people who messed up in life and yeah they made big mistakes but the person who’s judging you on T.V I guarantee you that, that news person said “I’m glad that my stuff didn’t come out but I’m gonna judge the hell out of you.
And you see Musk got into a controversy on Twitter because news came out that he was over working his employees, he said that “There are way easier places to work, but nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week” he did after meet with every employee who was over work and took over for them for a bit and talked to them but going back to the changing the world on 40 hours a week thing well Many on Twitter were quick to point out the errors in Musk's tweet one comment saying
“Lack of sleep and recharge times lowers performance. Smart people get a lot done in less time. Changing the world is not in hours, it is in impact. This is a ridiculous comment.” another saying “If one works 80 hours a week, meaning 40 hours of overtime, for four weeks, then that would be 160 hours of overtime. Miwa Sado, who worked at the broadcaster’s headquarters in Tokyo, logged 159 hours of overtime and took only two days off in the month leading up to her death from heart failure in July 2013.
And I do agree that Musk & his Employees should rest up and not go ham 24/7 because if they don’t, There would be no world to change, take care of yourself Elon because we’re going to the stars!!
