For šš”š«šš š¬šš«šš¢š š”š š²ššš«š¬, Musk lived inside Teslaās factories in Fremont and Nevada. His bed? A couch, sometimes a tent, or just the cold factory floor. But why? Because š„ššššš«š¬ š¦š®š¬š šš šÆš¢š¬š¢šš„š. Musk didnāt want his team to think he was relaxing while they struggled. Instead, he slept where they workedāso every Tesla employee could see their CEO grinding just as hard. āšš šš”š šššš¦ šš”š¢š§š¤š¬ šš”šš¢š« š„ššššš« š¢š¬ šØšš š¬šØš¦šš°š”šš«š šš«š¢š§š¤š¢š§š ššš¢ ššš¢š¬ šØš§ š šš«šØš©š¢ššš„ š¢š¬š„šš§š, š¢šāš¬ ššš¦šØš«šš„š¢š³š¢š§š .ā Thatās why, during shift changes, workers saw Musk sleeping under his desk.

Itās about setting the standard. If you want your team to give it their all, show them youāre willing to do the same. Would you work harder if your CEO slept on the floor next to you?
