London: Tesla’s chief executive officer Elon Musk is ‘thinking of’ leaving his jobs and becoming an influencer. This is according to a tweet put up Thursday by Elon Musk, the world’s richest man.
“Thinking of quitting my jobs & becoming an influencer full-time wdyt (sic),” Musk said in the tweet, without elaborating. It was not immediately clear if Musk, a prolific user of the social media platform, was being serious about quitting his roles.
Musk is also the founder and CEO of rocket company ‘SpaceX,’ He also leads brain-chip startup ‘Neuralink’ and infrastructure firm ‘The Boring Company’. During a recent conference call Musk had said that he expects to be the CEO of Tesla for ‘several years’.
“It would be nice to have a bit more free time on my hands as opposed to just working day and night, from when I wake up to when I go to sleep 7 days a week. Pretty intense,” Musk had then said.
Last month, he asked his followers on Twitter whether he should sell 10 per cent of his stake in the electric-car maker, to which the majority agreed. He has sold shares worth nearly $12 billion since.
All these probably indicate that Musk is trying to ease up the pressures in his life. He has time and again also said that he does not enjoy the pressure anymore and would like to relax a bit. So maybe he is serious about taking up the role of an influencer. After all he has the wealth to do that and whatever else he enjoys.
