The Musk Mindset: Why Average Is Not an Option
Elon has been known to spend so much time working he will actually sleep in the Tesla and SpaceX factories.
And it’s not as if he has a plush bedroom in a factory loft or something. In one Interview Elon showed the plain couch in a Tesla conference room he slept on, and said it was so uncomfortable he ended up sleeping on the floor.
Sleeping in his factories and at his business locations is something Elon does to this day, even as one of the richest humans alive.
In a recent interview (Dec 2020) when Elon was accepting the Axel Springer award in Germany the interviewer asked Elon where he was spending the night.
Elon replied: In the German Tesla factory. The interviewer asked where in the factory? Elon replied in the conference room.
That’s right, the world’s second wealthiest man chooses to spend the night in the conference room of a factory rather than a fancy hotel.
When asked about this on a Clubhouse audio chat he admitted that not only has he slept in the conference room, he has also slept outside of it, in a sleeping bag on the concrete factory floor.
That’s the level of obsession that is required for Elon’s kind of success.
