From The Facebook to Facebook, then MetaMark Zuckerberg at Harvard University, three months after The Facebook was created. But the business plan was first written for a company called Cadabra, as in a magician's "Abracadabra." Before Twitter became X, X.com became PayPalPeter Thiel, left, and Elon Musk, right, hold VISA credit cards branded with the X.com company logo on October 20, 2000.

He told them their hard work "warms my heart" and is "very important" for the world. In a late night speech, Elon Musk told Tesla workers at the Shanghai Gigafactory that their hard work "warms my heart." "I just want to let you know, it warms my heart," Musk said, tapping his chest before a fist pump. Tesla workers then criticized Musk on Chinese social media, and some people even complained to his mom on Twitter. Musk told CNBC he sleeps around six hours a night, and according to Jimmy Soni's book "The Founders," Musk was "perpetually sleep-deprived" at his first startup, Zip2.

☆ Elon Musk's office sleeping habits have existed since the early 1990s, according to a book about his first startup

Per "The Founders," Musk's company rented a "spartan Palo Alto office space," and he would sleep at the office and shower at the nearby YMCA. Soon after taking over Twitter, Musk similarly said he would be sleeping at the office "until the org is fixed." Back at Zip2, Soni describes a "perpetually sleep-deprived" Musk openly berating other executives and colleagues in 1996. Musk's sleeping habits continued at his second company, too, as the company's cofounder Harris Fricker told Soni. In February, Musk said he has worked an average of more than 120 hours a week after taking over Twitter.
