Being a CEO, even one of the world’s best CEOs, doesn’t mean you have to stop partying.
The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX came in eighth place on the 2017 Glassdoor Highest Rated CEOs list this year.
But that’s not the best part. Musk gave an interview with Glassdoor and answered some questions on his job and his personal life, in which he shared his love of fun.
“When you’re not planning trips to Mars, how do you like to spend your free time?” a representative at Glassdoor asked.
“Burning Man, playing team first-person shooters with my kids, movies, hanging out with friends, occasional wild parties,” Musk replied.
Ah, yes, the occasional wild party:
A little red wine, vintage record, some Ambien … and magic!

As for the rest of the list of 100, 26 were tech CEOs. Musk was ranked at number 8 overall but with SpaceX, an aerospace company, not a tech company.
It’s also important to note that while Jack Dorsey made the list, he was only ranked for Square, the payments company, and not for Twitter. Dorsey’s CEO approval rating for Twitter is 73 percent, which is slightly better than the average CEO approval rating of 67 percent.
