Musk wants to resign as a "top stream", saying that the CEO title is meaningless

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on social media thursday that he is considering "resigning" and hoping to become an influential "influencer", in the words of popularity now, Musk is considering becoming a full-time "top streamer".

"What do you think about quitting my job and becoming a full-time influencer?" Musk's tweet triggered a heated discussion among fans. Some netizens suggested that he create an OnlyFans account for the user, to which Musk responded: "Can be considered. "OnlyFans is a platform that generates content by users.

In an interview at the Wall Street Journal CEO Summit this week, Musk mentioned whether he would step down from the CEO position. He said: "For a company, in fact, there are only three heads that make sense, that is, the president, the secretary and the treasurer, and at most a director, and all the other heads are artificial and meaningless." ”

Musk said that these "artificial" rearings also include CEOs, CFOs, legal counsel and any other CXOs. "These are just marketing experiments for businesses." he said.

When asked why he should continue to do it because the CEO has no meaning, Musk recalled that he has changed his position in the company to "the king of electronic music". "And it's legal, it's officially filed with the CSRC." "Although it's a joke, I just want to make it clear that none of these heads-ups really make sense," he said. ”

Musk said that most of his 7 days and 24 hours are spent at work, from getting up in the morning to going to bed, the intensity is very large. "I think it would be nice if I had more free time on my hands instead of working day and night." he said.

No one knows how serious Musk's idea of resigning is, but judging by Tesla's stock price, the market doesn't seem to take his words seriously. Tesla's closing share price rose 1.3% on the day.

Musk often reveals some novel ideas online, and sometimes seemingly casual statements have been deliberated. Last month, for example, Musk said on social media that he was going to sell tesla shares and solicited votes from netizens. But it turns out that no matter how netizens vote, he has long planned to sell his shares. In the past month, Musk has sold tesla shares worth up to $12 billion.

In addition to being TESLA CEO, Musk is currently the founder and CEO of rocket company SpaceX, where he leads neural interface startup Neuralink and infrastructure company The Boring Company. Judging from the information musk recently revealed, SpaceX occupies more and more of his energy.

Musk is building the heavyweight Starship recyclable rocket project, which is a very difficult project for him. "A lot of very smart people in the past have tried and failed." "Any small breakthrough is difficult, and we can't be sure we'll succeed in the future," he said. ”

On a Tesla conference call in January, Musk said he expects to remain Tesla's CEO "for years to come." Musk, who was absent from Tesla's recent earnings release, said at one point he was not interested in answering investors' questions. However, Musk recently said that he will participate in the next quarter's Tesla earnings conference, and it is unclear whether he will disclose the CEO's whereabouts at the earnings conference.

Musk's remarks on social media have sparked a high level of regulatory attention. In 2018, he made remarks on Twitter that he wanted to privatize Tesla, which forced him to resign as Tesla's chairman. Musk later paid the fine and settled with the court, and his remarks on social media had to be pre-approved by the company's lawyers. But apparently, in practice, Musk still maintains a greater degree of freedom for what he and the company make.
