Elon Musk is ready to rage quit Twitter

Musk claims that he wants to find someone else to run Twitter, eventually, as he doesn't "want to be the CEO of any company".

The last few weeks on Twitter have been quite something, and we all know why. Right at the end of October, after months of will-he-won’t-he discussion, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk officially bought the social media platform, and chaos promptly ensued.

It was announced that many Twitter employees had been laid off, and impersonation of companies, brands and people on the platform began running rampant after it became possible to buy a verification checkmark via the subscription service Twitter Blue. Good start, then?

Musk recently revealed the new “Tesla Bot” - take a look below.

Now though, as reported by The Verge, Musk has revealed that he doesn’t actually want to be the CEO of Twitter, or any other company in general. Speaking at a trial defending his $56 billion Tesla pay package, he said: “I frankly don’t want to be the CEO of any company.

“At SpaceX, it’s really that I’m responsible for the engineering of the rockets and Tesla for the technology in the car that makes it successful,” he continued. “So, CEO is often viewed as somewhat of a business-focused role, but in reality, my role is much more that of an engineer developing technology and making sure that we develop breakthrough technologies and that we have a team of incredible engineers who can achieve those goals.”

He then went on to say that he doesn’t intend to remain Twitter’s CEO forever: “I expect to reduce my time at Twitter and find somebody else to run Twitter over time,” he explained.

According to former Tesla board member James Murdoch (via The Verge), Musk may even be considering eventually stepping down as the CEO of Tesla, too - he’s allegedly already brought up who he wants his successor to be. However, who this person is isn’t publicly known at this time.
