I really don't agree. Anyone motivated by money would have stopped working that hard many, many Billions ago.

  Look at all the other billionaires: This is just simply not true. They can never have enough. Their net worth is a high score to them and is an end unto itself. I'm sure he's motivated by other stuff too but he's very clearly also motivated by wealth accumulation to some degree.

    Other billionaires I guess. I'm sure they get more sleep and weekends though.

    My take is Elon's goals on wealth accumulation are so that he can put capital back into the projects he cares about - he isn't accumulating for the sake of wealth. I would argue that many of the billionaire class (outside of wall street) are more interested in their projects and goals than strictly capital accumulation. Especially those who have signed off on donating a majority of their wealth after their death.
