The serial entrepreneur has just revealed that the past few months have been hell and he’s asking for public support.
Nobody expected it.
Elon Musk shocked his millions of fans and detractors on February 5 by saying that the past few months have been hell. The serial entrepreneur went so far as to implore the “support of the public” at this “extremely tough” time.
“The last 3 months have been extremely difficult, as I had to save Twitter from bankruptcy, while performing essential duties for Tesla and SpaceX,” the billionaire wrote on February 5, as a commentary on a Wall Street Journal article that He recounts his challenges. “I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone.”
“Twitter still has challenges, but now it tends to break even if we continue like this.”
Musk then did what he rarely does: ask for everyone’s support.
“Public support is greatly appreciated!”
“I’m worried about myself too”
Support came immediately with words of encouragement and prayers for him.
“Please take care and take care, the world needs you Elon,” one Twitter user commented.
“I’m worried about myself too,” the billionaire replied.
“You are the one who can make it happen! We believe in you! You have our support 💛”, replied the same user.
“Too much responsibility for one man, but God sees your heart and is with you,” added another Twitter user. “Globalists know this and the day you recognize it even more than you already do, there’s no promise the fight will lessen, but the load is lighter. I need you to keep fighting.”
“Elon, we believe in you! Always stay safe and healthy!” joked one user.
Another user reminded him that “even God rested, brother. Praying for you”.
“Even God took the seventh day off. Rest up. We all love you, even your enemies admire you,” another user agreed.
Many were the comments that called Musk to rest. Some of the Twitter users told him that they worked like him non-stop until they realized it wasn’t viable.
“Go to sleep buddy, I have the same habits! It stinks!” advised a user.
“Everyone needs a day of rest every week, and it is my prayer that you find peace and joy in a relationship with Jesus. Either way, there are many of us who thank you and care about you,” another user said.
“You’re awesome, Elon, but always remember that most people also work 7 days a week and still struggle… You’re talented, but you’re also a very lucky man. Which is great! Never forget that, I’m sure that’s already the case,” another user chimed in.
Musk’s busy schedule
Since late October and the completion of his Twitter acquisition, the billionaire has been involved in five major companies. Three of them, Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter, play very symbolic roles in their respective fields of activity. The other two companies are Neuralink and The Boring Company.
Therefore, he found himself with several challenges to overcome. The first is to make Twitter profitable as soon as possible because it has borrowed to the tune of $13 billion to finance the deal that cost it $44 billion.
In addition to running these companies, Musk also had to face two civil trials in which he testified. In one of the trials, Tesla investors accused him of fraud over 2018 tweets in which he claimed to have obtained funds to take Tesla private. He was acquitted on February 3 by a jury in this case. The other lawsuit concerns the generous compensation package awarded to him by Tesla. The verdict in this case is still awaited.
Juggling processes while running all of their companies’ projects at the same time would be nearly impossible for many entrepreneurs, but not for Musk.
In 2018, Musk said in interviews that Tesla was “on the brink of death” during the troubled mass-market launch of the Model 3. He indicated at the time that he was sleeping at the factory and called building the Model 3 “production hell.” .”
“No one should put in that many hours at work,” Musk declared at the time. “This is not good. It was very painful. My brain and heart hurt.”
