“Board member James Murdoch said that Mr. Musk has identified a potential successor in recent months who could take over as CEO of Tesla,” RIA Novosti reported.
About whom exactly we are talking, the publication did not specify.
According to Reuters, Musk's fortune fell below $200 billion due to fluctuations in Tesla shares on the Twitter purchase.
It is noted that most of the businessman's fortune comes from his almost 15% stake in Tesla, which has a market value of $622 billion.
