  • Elon Musk says he works 120 hours per week and asked his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) workers to copy him as they help Trump remake the government

The article from MSN discusses the controversial stance of Elon Musk, who has publicly endorsed working up to 120 hours a week, suggesting that extreme work hours are necessary for success.

It also touches on how such expectations can lead to high employee turnover, stress-related health issues, and a culture that might not foster long-term innovation or well-being.
