Wall Street’s calls for Musk to step down have been growing for weeks, and recently even Tesla bulls have questioned his focus on the social media platform and whether that will make any difference. he lost focus on properly running the electric vehicle business, where he was at the heart of product design and engineering. .
Musk himself has admitted that he has too much on his plate and said he will be looking for a Twitter CEO. However, he said on Sunday that no successor and that “nobody wants the job that can actually keep Twitter alive.”
