A day in the life of Elon Musk isn’t easy at all.

Even though Musk is now valued at around $16 billion, his path has been one of extreme ups and downs. Responding to some questions about his life on Twitter, the Telsa Founder responded with frankness that we have not seen when it comes to other heavy weights from the technology community.

The reality is great highs, terrible lows and unrelenting stress. Don't think people want to hear about the last two.

In a series of tweets Musk described why not many would want to trade places with him. Musk tweeted that his life has had its fare share of ‘great highs, terrible lows and unrelenting stress’. On being asked about the latter two, Musk explained that “take the pain and make sure you really care about what you’re doing”, which by his own admission is not that easy to do.

I'm sure there are better answers than what I do, which is just take the pain and make sure you really care about what you're doing

Musk even claimed that he was bipolar while reply to a tweet. However, he clarified in the next tweet that his condition cannot be medically termed as bipolar. He added that “Bad feelings correlate to bad events, so maybe real problem is getting carried away in what I sign up for”. Finally, Musk said that taking on so many stress-inducing responsibilities is his own fault.

Maybe not medically tho. Dunno. Bad feelings correlate to bad events, so maybe real problem is getting carried away in what I sign up for.
