In a new tweet, Musk says that he will indeed be stepping down as CEO. Unless of course the process of finding some poor fool to take over takes an indefinite length of time.

After counting the mail-in ballots more than 90% of the voters wants him to stay ;)

Good point! It takes weeks to get one of them slow-ass ships from Asia, through Europe and all the way to America. Many people on the way. Many voters. Many uh... ballots, what deserve to be counted.

By all accounts he has become the first person to lose $200 billion!

Yeah, but that's mostly because Tesla was disgustingly overvalued for a long time and a few of them runaway hype-pidgeons are now coming home to roost. It still is overvalued though, as I see it. Manufacturers like Audi, Toyota or Ford should be worth up to orders of magnitude more than Tesla based on their assets, output and capability.

So I'm not sure I'd call it "losing 200bn" - he never had it. His assets were valued thusly, but as I pointed out in previous discussions, if you have a ten million dollar house, you do not have ten million dollars. You have a house. If it burns down, you don't lose ten million dollars either - you lose a house.

Still, you have to give Musk one thing; the Hype King is indeed the king of hype.

Oh, he's already halfway there, according to him.

If Elon Musk steps down from his high chair, that will be amazing.

It'll be interesting to see how long he'll be able to keep his hands off the wheel. :popcorn:

As far as I can see, he has full control of Twitter already.
