Elon Musk announced on Tuesday that he will leave his position as CEO of Twitter once a successor has been found.

“As soon as I find someone stupid enough to take the job, I’ll step down as CEO!” Musk tweeted something.

Pressure on Musk to find a replacement has increased as a result of Tesla’s market value plummeting since Musk announced his intention to purchase Twitter in April.

The time commitment and bad press that Musk’s management of Twitter has brought have shareholders in open uproar.

Will Elon Musk resign as CEO of Twitter?

Whatever the case, Twitter's new owner will continue to be in charge. Musk stated that he would "simply run the software & servers teams" after finding a replacement.

Musk made it clear early on that he didn't intend to continue leading Twitter and that his original goal had been to cut back on his involvement.

During a trial for his compensation at Tesla in November, Musk stated, "There is an initial burst of activity needed after acquisition to reorganise the company." Over time, I'd find a different person to run Twitter.
