Why Elon Musk Says Taking ‘Vacations Will Kill You’

Elon Musk's net worth is around $24 billion, but he does not believe in vacations.

This may be more of a case that he has bad luck with vacations but he did make one good point. In 2018 he was sleeping on the Tesla factory floor in an effort to catch up on production on the Model 3 cars. Musk has said, "I don't believe people should be experiencing hardship while the CEO is off on vacation."

He had one vacation where he contracted malaria and almost died. He had his honeymoon halted when he got fired and immediately had to fly back to California. On another vacation his rocket exploded so vacations just might not be his thing.
