After 90 hour work week row, Elon Musk’s weekend work reply gains steam, Nilesh Shah questions: ‘will he get memes or…?’

Live Mint  

With Tesla Chief Elon Musk's latest comments on government workers getting weekends off reigniting the 90 hour work week debate, Kotak Mahindra AMC's Nilesh Shah questioned if the X owner will also get the brickbats and meme treatment as L&T Chairman SN Subramanyan or be praised “because he is Elon Musk?” Shah also noted the widespread criticism towards Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy's push for 70 hour work weeks. Replying to a post on X about Elon Musk's US government department DOGE “speedrunning government reforms”, the tech billionaire said, “Very few in the bureaucracy actually work the weekend, so it’s like the opposing team just leaves the field for 2 days! You are free to choose to work 7 days a week, but you are not free to force others to do the same” What is Elon Musk's Stance on 90 hour work week? While Musk has not directly expressed any opinion on the 90-hour or 70-hour work week debates, a 2018 post by the world's richest man gained momentum in January at the height of furore against Subramanyan.
