Between the joke about Tesla going bankrupt which wiped $2.5 billion off the value of the company and the news that production for the Tesla Model 3 is behind, we can deduce that Elon Musk is a little stressed.

But he's not content to do stress like the rest of us and drink a six pack of Guinness while slumped on the sofa watching Grand Designs re-runs. No, instead Musk is doing that 'genius on the edge' kind of stress that no normal human has ever had in reaction to a situation.

In an interview on CBS This Morning, Musk admitted that he's so busy at work he is not going home or showering.

"I definitely feel stress, yeah," he said. "It's like — we've been incredibly difficult and painful the last several months."

"Painful?" the host replied.

"Absolutely, of course. Yeah, I'm sleeping on the factory floor, not because I think that's a fun place to sleep. You know. Terrible," he said.

"Sleeping on the factory floor, doing — why are you doing that?" the host asked.

"Because I don't have time to go home and shower," Musk responded.

Though in all fairness to the man he did go on to explain that he doesn't believe in shifting the responsibility on to people lower down that him. Something we can all understand and appreciate.

"I don't believe like people should be experiencing hardship while the CEO is, like, off on vacation," he said

"I am personally on that line, in that machine, trying to solve problems personally where I can," Musk said. "We are working seven days a week to do it. And I have personally been here on zone 2 module line at 2:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning, helping diagnose robot calibration issues."

Something none of us can understand.
