this is not a leadership model to emulate #doge finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-mu...
Elon Musk says his DOGE team works 120 hours a week. If they used all their remaining time for sleep, they still wouldn’t come close to 8 hours a night

Like @coloradotravis.bsky.social I consumed this over the weekend, and I highly encourage everyone to read it.
The coverage is treating the book as an expose of Meta culture and execs and while it is that, I think the more interesting parts are in between and focus on global power dynamics 1/
