Damn, Musk is still awesome! Someone asked Musk: with wealth worth several tens of trillions that you could never possibly spend in many lifetimes, why does he still maintain such high-intensity work for the long term?
He said that lying on a beach doing nothing is the worst life he can imagine. He would get so bored he’d go crazy—he likes high intensity.
Money can explain why someone starts working, but it can’t explain why they can’t stop even after having everything. For Musk, work isn’t just about earning wealth—it’s like a kind of spiritual order: when problems are difficult enough and rockets, cars, chips, and AI fill all his attention, other noise temporarily fades away.
What a person truly can’t let go of is often not money, but the problem that makes them feel like they’re still moving forward. Do you think Musk’s work style is something that can be learned? #巴菲特转任伯克希尔荣誉董事长 $SPCXB
