Elon Musk leads multiple companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company. Managing all of them might seem impossible, but Musk does it through intense focus, long hours, and rapid decision-making. He often works over 80 hours a week, splitting his time between company headquarters and factories. Musk is known for hands-on leadership—he dives into engineering problems and product design. He uses a first-principles thinking approach to solve problems from the ground up. Though his management style can be intense, it has helped launch groundbreaking products. Musk’s ability to multitask at such a high level is rare and remarkable.
