Nvidia Corporation CEO Jensen Huang has been lauded for his intense work ethic by Elon Musk, who described it as "hardcore." Huang's daily routine involves waking up at 5 a.m. and working until 9:30 p.m., a schedule that he finds relaxing and productive. Huang, co-founder of Nvidia, shared his mindset in a recent interview, stating that working is relaxing for him and that solving problems and achieving goals are also relaxing activities [1].
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has also been known for his rigorous work routines. He has famously slept in Tesla factories and server rooms to drive progress. Musk's admiration for Huang's work ethic comes as both leaders are navigating significant challenges in their respective companies. Huang's net worth is $157 billion, while Musk's is $357 billion [2].
In a recent development, Tesla's board approved a major interim CEO award worth approximately $29 billion to retain Musk through 2027. This award, which includes 96 million restricted shares, is a show of good faith to honor the compensation agreement struck in 2018, despite a Delaware judge invalidating the original deal last year. Musk must remain in a senior leadership role until at least August 2027 and cannot sell any shares for five years, except under managed conditions [3].
The intense work ethic displayed by both Huang and Musk highlights the commitment and dedication required to lead major tech companies. As Tesla and Nvidia continue to innovate and expand, their leaders' work routines serve as a reminder of the relentless effort needed to drive progress in the tech industry.
