Elon is not involved with Hyperloop. He gave it to the world. He said if no one else starts a project within five years he may start a new company.
He said his time spent on SolarCity is showing up to the board meetings to hear the good news. His cousin runs that company.
He has said he spends about 2/3 of his work hours on SpaceX and 1/3 Tesla depending on the interview. Sometimes he adjust those numbers but spends more time on SpaceX. With JB getting more face time with the press looks like he is being groomed for CEO. Elon has said he will remain Chairman and still be involved in the day to day runnings of the company with a title like Chief Product Architect.
He does not need to spend time with Justine Musk(yes, she kept the name after the divorce). I am sure his personal assistant can coordinate schedules for time spent with the kids. Most kids of very powerful people don't have many fond memories of their parent taking them to soccer practice and watching them at the school play. There are usually other perks to go with the downsides. Elon has recently recanted on bequeathing all his money/shares to charity. He has said the Ford family has had good stabilizing influence that prevented bankruptcy of Ford Motor Co. relative to what happened at GM.
