Elon Musk believes that working only 40 hours a week signifies a lack of effort. He embodies this by having slept on the Tesla factory floor and expects his team to work up to 120-hour weeks, suggesting that 80 hours should be a minimum with 100+ hours to make significant impact. This contrasts sharply with lawmakers advocating for 32-hour weeks and the average American working about 34 hours. The script questions whether Musk is pioneering a new definition of greatness or is out of touch with reality, and it invites viewers to weigh in on the demands of such intense work schedules.
