According to Reuters, Musk promised to find a new CEO for Twitter while testifying in a lawsuit filed by Tesla investors in Delaware against his massive pay package as CEO of the automaker.
Musk’s search for new CEO
One prominent name touted by the public to become the new CEO is former Twitter owner Jack Dorsey.
Dorsey, however, said he would not accept the role of Twitter CEO.
Musk reacted by tweeting that he would continue to run Twitter until it is in a strong place, though it will “take some time.” Business Insider reports.
Musk was quoted as telling the court:
“There’s an initial burst of activity needed post-acquisition to reorganize the company, but then I expect to reduce my time at Twitter.”
Musk also admitted that some Tesla engineers were assisting in evaluating Twitter’s engineering teams, but he said it was on a “voluntary basis” and “after hours.”
