Elon Musk says he has too much work on his plate: 'The amount that I torture myself is next level

Elon Musk has too much to do.

In a virtual interview at the G20 summit in Indonesia on Monday, Musk talked about how his workload has changed since his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter.

"My workload has recently increased quite a lot," Musk said. "I have too much work on my plate, that is for sure."

Musk, who's also the CEO of Tesla, talked about running Tesla's global operations, noting that he runs the electric vehicle manager "with great difficulty."

I can't imagine how much time he spends reading and posting on Twitter! Not what I would choose to do in his position, but whatever.

Amazon to lay off 10,000

“Changing business models and the precarious economy have set off layoffs across the tech industry. Elon Musk halved Twitter’s head count this month after buying the company, and last week, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, announced it was laying off 11,000 employees, about 13 percent of its work force. Lyft, Stripe, Snap and other tech firms have also laid off workers in recent months.

Brad Glasser, an Amazon spokesman, declined to comment.

The pandemic produced Amazon’s most profitable era on record, as consumers flocked to online shopping and companies to its cloud computing services. Amazon doubled its work force in two years, and funneled its winnings into expansion and experimentation to find the next big things.

But earlier this year, Amazon’s growth slowed to the lowest rate in two decades, as the bullwhip of the pandemic snapped. The company faced high costs from decisions to overinvest and rapidly expand, while changes in shopping habits and high inflation dented sales.”0

"I've just realized that Twitter is my real passion. and now that I own it, I have a good excuse to be on it 24/7. Those other things like space and cars can be run by others. Neurolink I'll keep working on so I can mainline Twitter."
