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

　　Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on social media on Thursday that he is considering "resigning" and hopes to become an influential "influencer." In popular terms, Musk is considering Become a full-time "top stream".

　　"I want to quit my job and become a full-time influential person. What do you think?" After Musk's tweet was posted, it caused heated discussions among fans.

Some netizens suggested that he create a user of OnlyFans account, Musk responded to this: "You can consider." OnlyFans is a user-generated content platform.

　　In an interview at the Wall Street Journal CEO Summit this week, Musk mentioned whether he would withdraw from the CEO position.

He said: "For a company, in fact, there are only three heads up that are meaningful, that is, the president, secretary, financial officer, and at most one director. All the other heads are artificially made and have no meaning. ."

　　Musk said that these "man-made" rises also include CEOs, CFOs, legal advisors, and any other CXOs.

"These are just marketing experiments for companies," he said.

　　When asked why the CEO should continue to do it since it is meaningless, Musk reiterated that he had changed his position in the company to the "king of electronic music."

"And this is legal and it has been officially filed by the China Securities Regulatory Commission." He said, "Although this is a joke, I just want to make it clear that these heads-ups are really meaningless."

　　Musk said that he spends most of his time at work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. From getting up in the morning to going to bed, the intensity is very high.

"I think it would be great if I had more free time on my hands instead of working day and night," he said.

　　No one knows how serious Musk's resignation is, but judging from Tesla's stock price, the market does not seem to take his words seriously.

Tesla's closing stock price rose 1.3% that day.

　　Musk often reveals some novel ideas on the Internet, and sometimes seemingly inadvertent statements have been well thought out.

For example, last month, Musk said on social media that he would sell Tesla shares and solicited votes from netizens.

But it turns out that no matter how netizens vote, he has already planned to sell his shares.

In the past month, Musk sold Tesla shares worth up to 12 billion U.S. dollars.

　　In addition to serving as CEO of Tesla, Musk is the founder and CEO of the rocket company SpaceX. He also leads the brain-computer interface startup Neuralink and the infrastructure company The Boring Company.

Judging from the information Musk recently revealed, SpaceX has taken up more and more of his energy.

　　Musk is building a heavyweight "Starship" (Starship) recoverable rocket project, which in his view is a very difficult project.

"In the past, many very smart people tried but failed." He said, "Any subtle breakthrough is very difficult, and we can't be sure that we will succeed in the future."

　　In the Tesla conference call in January this year, Musk said that he expects to continue to serve as Tesla's CEO "in the next few years."

Musk was absent from the recent Tesla earnings conference. He once said that he was not interested in answering investor questions.

However, Musk recently said that he will participate in the Tesla earnings conference in the next quarter. It is not clear at the earnings conference whether he will reveal the question of whether or not the CEO will stay.

　　Musk's remarks on social media have aroused great attention from supervision.

In 2018, he made comments on Twitter that he hoped to privatize Tesla, which forced him to resign as chairman of Tesla.

Later Musk paid the fine and reached a settlement with the court, and his comments on social media must be pre-approved by the company's lawyers.

But obviously, in actual operation, Musk still maintains a greater degree of freedom in what he and the company make.
