In December 2022, the eccentric billionaire and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter, Elon Musk, tweeted that he would step down as CEO of the microblogging platform as soon as he found someone stupid enough to take that job. He also said that he will only lead the software and server team.
I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone stupid enough to take the job! Then I’ll just run the software team and the server.
