This video is actually quite good, a reminder that crypto-trading should be just fun and not a livelihood!! The world needs honest human labor. Without it, the world could not function, not even the stock exchanges. I work myself and even if I had so much money that I wouldn't have to work, I would still work. And I ce

The "work" Elon Musk does is no work at all. If you worked in a mine, yo'd cherish the day you got money to not have to work. Tells me you work in an office, probably barely. Wink

I am now 56 and have been in business my whole life, i.e., since I was 20, when I came back from two years of compulsory military service. I don't work as much now as I did when I was younger (I had a serious heart attack 10 years ago, and I have less energy due to my age). But even so, my average working day is 12-14 hours, including weekends. I don't just sit in the office, I visit clients, change servers, heavy batteries, computers, printers, cables, and I often end up as dirty as a car mechanic Smile Unfortunately, there are no people, no one wants to do it anymore, so even though I'm currently designing IT architecture and concepts for companies for at least another 10 years and at the same time solving cyber security issues or programming, I also do the dirty work. And instead of sleeping or taking breaks, I write here on Gameguru because it's fun/addiction for me Razz But I'm not complaining at all, I want to live like this, and at least it's varied and fun. Although sometimes it's also very stressful when something breaks (I take care of about 25 smaller companies and institutions).

I experienced extremely hard work (on the railroad) firsthand as a student, so I know what it's like, and I can't imagine living like that, it must be very difficult. As for Elon, he could be hanging around like other billionaires, but as far as I know, he's a pretty active guy and often sleeps in his office. He has some goals and clearly wants to achieve them. I don't think he's doing it primarily for himself (although, of course, his ego is at work here), but he's actually doing it for humanity. I think other rich people should follow his example.

I was wrong about you somewhat but it's still not hard work. I do something similar for a living. It's not my office, it's someone else's or a server room. Miles better than repetitive work in factories, cash registers or storage.
As for Elon Musk, I think you are confusing delegating with work. Takes certain talents but work is done by others.

You're right, what I do isn't hard work, it's demanding but not hard. And although I live in Central Europe, where everyone is well off, some people have to do hard work, as you say, sales assistants in grocery stores, factory workers at machines, metalworkers, steelworkers, etc. I have a lot of friends who have hard jobs and a much harder life than I do. I certainly appreciate their work very much.

Elon obviously employs talented people, but without people like him, Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink would never have been created. There simply has to be someone who can manage the whole thing and make the policy decisions. To be honest, I definitely couldn't handle that, nor would I want to. I have enough to do just managing myself LOL.

Work gives you a purpose in life and goals.
It also staves off ill health like diabetes, obesity. It's also (not always) good for wellbeing depending on the job.

There's nearly a MILLION in England and Wales 16-24yr old NeeT's -Not in Employment, Education Training. Now that fucking sad. These are the individuals that rob shops, mug people and have ZERO purpose in life.

When i left school Margaret (fucking) Thatcher was the prime minister, she closed the coal mines, British Leyland the steel plants and cause the biggest unemployment ever seen since the war.

Training schemes and YOP's (Youth Opportunity Programs) were set up so that school leavers could get some work experience instead of being idle. -caused by Thatcher

This useless English government are only now talking about trying to get these lazy aholes into some work experience, too late now as the snowflakes blame COVID for ruining their glass spines.

Bring back National Service

I'm 62 been working since i was 16 left school

Elon Musk sleeps in his office because he abuses ketamine and his brain goes all funky. Working and putting time into the office in a ketamine stupor isn't the same thing. Musk can pick and choose his battle where most of us can't. During Musk's time with Trump, he was losing his businesses. The guy is a financing wizard, an elitist, but complete wreck at work. He needs SCP containment.
