Alon Musk is no strangers to follow the extreme work program. The world’s richest man has often shared his rigorous routine of working seven days a week and even gold in the office. Now, he has revealed that he is back in this demand lifestyle. In a post recently on X, Musk announced that he is once again working seven days a week and says “Wartime Mode”.
“My young children are away to work 7 days a week and sleep in the office,” Musk wrote, re-preparing an old video, referring to it as a war-time CEO- the word Kasturi has used a lot of use to describe the duration of intensive focus and non-stop attempt during important moments in his companies. In the video, Musk can be emotionally depicted how her fierce previous schedule took a toll on her life. Shared video Kasturi is from the days of the time when Tesla was on the verge of collapse. “No one should not use these many hours. It is not good. It is very painful. It damages my brain and my heart,” they say in the video.
Right now, what is the return of Kasturi in the routine of this tireless work, it is increasing pressure in many of its ventures. These include X (East Twitter), Tesla and SpaceX bold plans in ambitious deadline and AI and government reforms.
And this is not the first time Musk is working all day. In many other interviews, Musk has admitted that when the situation is demanded, he works obsessed. In February 2025, Musk claimed that she and her team works 120 hours a week in the government’s efficiency department (DOGE), while “anti -bureaucracy” works only 40. “That’s why they are losing so fast,” he said.
Speaking in an interview of 2018 with 60 minutes of CBS, Musk described the Tesla’s model 3 in the 120-hour week during the crisis, working and sleeping on the factory floor. “It was life or death. We were losing $ 50 (million), sometimes $ 100 million in a week. Walking out of money,” Musk told the host Leslie Stall. In another CBS interview with Gayle King, Musk said that he slept in the Tesla factory for example: “I don’t believe that people should feel difficulty while CEO is on leave.”
In a 2022 conversation with investor Ron Baron, Musk revealed that he lived in Tesla’s Framont and Nevada factories for three years, even sleeping in a tent on the roof or under his desk. Musk said, “It was sleeping on the floor,” said Musk. “And always, when I woke up, I smell like metal dust.”
But Musk’s work pattern has increased beyond itself. When he acquired Twitter at the end of 2022, he demanded equal intensity from his employees. In an email reported by Washington Post, Musk told the Twitter staff that he should be committed to “longer on high intensity” to stay in the company. Those who were not ready to describe as “extremely staunch” tasks as morality were offered to the separation package.
In fact, after the acquisition, Twitter’s San Francisco office was allegedly converted into a semi-residence, indicating an investigation by the city’s building inspection department. According to an associated press report, the former staff alleged that Musk illegally converted the office locations into the Mekshift Bedroom, allowing some people to dub the headquarters “Twitter Hotel”. In response to the city’s investigation, Kasturi fired back to the X, saying, “The city of SF attacks, which companies of companies providing beds for tired employees, instead of ensuring that the children are safe from fantanelle.”
