Elon Musk Stepping Down As CEO of Twitter + Mastadon and Twitter Employee Quits

Musk is under increasing pressure from prominent Tesla investors to appoint a Twitter successor and re-devote himself to the electric car company. Tesla's stock price has continued to plummet, even as Musk has actively discussed finding a replacement, which suggests that he and his investors are in for more difficulties down the road. Some potential candidates for the role of Twitter CEO include Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and others who advised Musk in the early days of his acquisition of the company. CNN even mentioned Jared Kushner as a possibility, based solely on the fact that he was seen with Musk at the final World Cup match in Qatar. Learn more about your ad choices.
