> working 12~18 hours doing one moonshot after another.

Does anyone actually beleive Musk works 12 - 18 hour days?

He hires the right people and his companies solve hard problems, but they make a few electric cars, design and build some rockets, and launch some satelites. Most of that shouldn't require much of Musk's time since he has experts working on it.

Other than designing new rockets, there doesn't seem to be many new innovations coming out of Musk-owned companies.

To me, it feels like we all think he must be doing a ton of work even though his companies don't seem to be generating much output.
