Quiet Quitting, 87 hours, and employee exploitation

This past week, I’ve been reading about how Musk expects “dedication” from employees like 87 hour work-weeks and somehow that’s OK because it’s nothing he doesn’t do himself. I’m sure it’s willful ignorance, but how can he not see the difference between the owner of a company putting 80+ hours a week into their company and the person whose 40 hours his company bought being expected to donate another 40+ hours a week to his cause?! Does he get angry at the steel manufacturer because they only deliver five tonnes when he ordered and paid for five tonnes?
