In an extensive interview with podcast presenter Joe Rogan, Elon Musk revealed in February that he manages to sleep six hours a night while balancing his responsibilities in all of his businesses.
speaking in The experience of Joe Rogan, The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla seemed baffled by Rogan when he talked about his work schedule.
“How do you have time? I never understand when it comes to how you handle multiple businesses simultaneously,” Rogan said. “You would think something like [el cohete SpaceX] it would require a lot of concentration, I think that would be all thinking, trying to figure out how this works. “
Musk responded bluntly by saying he works “a lot,” adding that he usually works until 1 or 2 amdurante a week. When Rogan asked him how regularly the tech entrepreneur slept, Musk didn’t hesitate to give a number.
“About six hours,” he said. “Not so crazy.”
Musk later admitted to an impressed Rogan that he had tried to sleep less, but noted that “total productivity decreases” in doing so.
“I don’t feel like sleeping more than six,” he said.
The nearly three-and-a-half-hour interview apparently touched on every possible topic, from what humans would need to live on Mars to Musk’s concerns about artificial intelligence. At the beginning of the interview, the billionaire businessman even shared a funny fact, noting that he made Starship, the SpaceX rocket, “sharper” after watching Sacha Baron’s 2012 comedy Cohen, The Dictator.
“I thought it would be funny if we made the rocket sharper, so we did,” Musk said, adding that the design had no effect on the rocket’s aerodynamics.
In addition to overseeing SpaceX and Tesla, Musk directs or works at three other companies: The Boring Company, Neuralink and OpenAI.
