What Elon Musk gets wrong about career advice
Fox News
At the end of a recent interview, Elon Musk was asked what advice he would give his children about their choice of work at a time when AI is upending so much in the workplace.
Bruce Feiler is the author of seven New York Times bestsellers, including "Life Is in the Transitions" and "The Secrets of Happy Families." His three TEDTalks have been viewed more than 5 million times. His latest book is "The Search: Finding Meaningful Work in a Post-Career World."
Elon Musk is a visionary technologist, CEO, and provocateur. But as he said in that interview, he works all but two or three days a year, he "sacrifices time with friends and family," including his 10 children, and he wonders, "Does that make sense?"
By making these choices, perhaps he misses the most important piece of advice he can give his children about work: They have more opportunity to find meaning in what they do than at any time in human history.
