In this context, Sax highlights the contrasting leadership styles of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk—both of whom he had the privilege to work for during their respective careers.

Sax notes Elon’s extraordinary work ethic, citing recent visits where Musk’s schedule included switching between Tesla, XAI, SpaceX, and Neuralink almost daily, often working late into the night.
