The richest man in the world, American businessman Elon Musk, announced that he was stepping down as CEO of Twitter.. According to him, the candidacy of the new head of the microblogging service has finally been found.. He does not give his last name, but it is known that this is a woman..

“New CEO will start in about six weeks,” he wrote.. The billionaire himself will then become the executive chairman and technical director - he will monitor the product, software and system operators.

Deduced to the conclusion that I continued the new CEO for X/Twitter. She will be starting in ~6 weeks! My role will cross into exec chair \u0026 CTO, overseeing product, software \u0026 sysops.

Earlier, Elon Musk, who acquired the social network Twitter for $44 billion last fall, admitted that running a company is “rather painful” for him and compared this experience to a “roller coaster”.

Musk has been looking for a replacement for himself as a leader since December last year, before he conducted a survey among social network users about whether he should leave the post of CEO of the company and, following its results, said that he would leave the position as soon as he found “someone so stupid”.
