Elon is the guy who has ran/had a major role in how many different companies? There's a lot you could probably critique about him, but I don't think his work ethic would be 1 of them.

I think a lot of people have this idea that the insanely rich people don't have any work ethic. Which is oftentimes not even true. Oftentimes, these are the people who don't believe in days off. They will work 7 days a week, and they aren't clocking out at 5:00 either. You can't get to someone like Elon's position in life by pure luck alone.

I say this as someone who has no desire to have the work ethic of an Elon. I'd much rather be home by 6:00, cook dinner, and kick my feet up as I watch sports. That's the life I'd rather live.

What a fricking joke. Anyone that knows anything about Elon knows the dude never turns off.

He's doing meetings at 11pm and running around like a madman.


You don't know Elon or know anyone close enough to Elon to know his habits. Stop

That still has nothing to do with your time off statement.


There are 260-262 working days (M-F) in a year.

Teachers work 190 in SC (180 for instruction, 10 for professional development, prep and meetings)

They have 14 weeks off... Joe Blow Plant Bro might take 2wks off.

They do not have to work for over a QUARTER of the year... but get paid like they work a whole year.

And these people are congressmen. God help us.


There's a difference between failing to understand and understanding the difference and lying to people who don't.

But the people are starting to figure it out, which is why the left is starting to push a wealth tax rather than an income tax.

The Boring Company (2018)
The Musk-y tunnel-digging company.

Started as a subsidiary of SpaceX in 2017 and was “spun” off a year later.

Teacher and mommy are the two hardest jobs in the world


Both have slid down hill as standards have dropped and social media have risen.

Teachers' unions are a new thing, teachers carrying misspelled strike signs were a big thing in NOLA, and Mommy became less of an influence in how her children matured.

Maybe both are among the hardest jobs in the world, are the people filling those jobs no longer up to the tasks?

33 billion a year, 30 of which they use to buy shite from American defense companies. It might be the (R) version of money laundering, but it doesn't move the needle.

USAID blew $72 billion in a single year, with Ukraine, Ethiopia, Jordan, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Congo leading the way. We send 8 billion to NYC to prop up their fricked up systems. But yeah, it's the Jews.

You can accuse Elon of a lot of things, but you can’t doubt his work ethic. He has jumped in the floor to help with production at Tesla. He was hands in every aspect of SpaceX.

Elon might be the hardest working person in the country. The guy works all day, every day. Reading his biography was exhausting.

I am married to a teacher and a mom. Those are jobs...they are not the two hardest jobs in the world. I've had the kids when she was out of town and I used to teach, not the hardest jobs in the world by a long shot.

Seriously, Mommy is a hard friggin job for a few years until they are in school full time. And it stays tough if mom works a full time job. Daddy can be a tough one too.

right, because only the Jews are getting money

you'd make a better argument if you left out your blatant antisemitism.
