Agreed. I've missed multiple deaths in the family, important events with friends and sacrificed a large chunk of my life to be in one of the most happening tech ecosystems in the world. Even when I was eventually fired due to burn out, I walked away thinking to myself: "I still envy the people in that office, working hard for that CEO".

Envy for others working to burnout for some other person? How sad.

A CEO is just a title, often for someone who’s can’t get anything done independently.

Musk is an example. He builds nothing, actual engineers build, actual salespeople sell.

This reminds me Stockholm Syndrome.
