Elon Musk wants to find a new head for Twitter

Elon Musk hopes to find someone else to run Twitter instead of him. The billionaire said this during his own testimony at the trial regarding his compensation package at Tesla.

«I hope to reduce my time on Twitter and eventually find someone else to run the social network,» Musk said.

The SpaceX owner emphasized that Twitter has been taking up the lion’s share of his time over the past few weeks, and in the long run, Musk is not satisfied with it. The billionaire said that he expects to complete a «fundamental organizational restructuring» at Twitter soon. Musk also hinted that some Tesla engineers were involved in Twitter’s work, although he clarified that it was on a voluntary basis and for a short time.

It is worth noting that changes in Twitter constantly cause a flurry of criticism in social networks and the media. The social network’s employees, who have filed a class action lawsuit against Musk, are also dissatisfied. The lawsuit claims that Twitter’s new management violates federal laws by dismissing employees without proper notice.

A week ago, Elon Musk announced that the number of Twitter subscribers had reached its all-time high. And recently, the billionaire played a prank on the social networking site’s community with the help of pranksters — Musk posted on his Twitter page about the return of allegedly previously fired employees of Ligma & Johnson. The prank was a success — many users recognized Ligma & Johnson as former Twitter «employees». A photo of the «fired employees» had gone viral a few weeks earlier — pranksters took a picture of the social network’s headquarters with boxes of personal belongings.
