Elon Musk has said on several occasions lately – on Twitter, from a courtroom stand, on Twitter again, then back at the same court – that he doesn’t want to be a CEO.
He said so before and after he became the chief executive of a fifth company, which appears to have been one too many, at least for Tesla shareholders to stomach. Since April 4, the day Musk disclosed that he’d taken a stake in Twitter, the car and clean-energy company that accounts for a third of his net worth has lost about US$749bil (RM3.3bil) of market value.
