> Elon works a lot. Show me one pic of him on vacation.

You literally used this as an argument.

Also, I don't think the problem is how much Musk works. If you ask me at the CEO level working "so hard" shows you don't really understand basic delegation techniques. He does work really hard to project the image he's working hard - I'll give you that.

Also, no matter how hard you work you will never make billions off solely just your work. Ain't gonna happen. At some point you need to start exploiting people.

I did use it as an argument. And you kind of won. I literally I have not seen these photos. Though, it seems he was there for just over 24 hours. Notification by duration, but ok, it’s Saint Tropez.

And you’re right, of course. The amount somebody works really doesn‘t mean a thing. After all, it‘s his own decision. And besides, most people do want to be useful. I mean, why are you here on HN discussing viewpoints with strangers? That‘s a kind of work, isn‘t it?

As you say, there are good ways of working and bad ways. And there are certainly tasks that would deserve getting done much more than others. Which is yet another reason why the mere amount of „sweat“ can rarely be a measure for how much „good“ a person is doing.

Edit: Spelling.
