  The new CEO is a meatshield. Elon retains every operational title with a budget and content-related decisions.

  The compensation must be spectacularly good, at least relative to the new CEO's prior position.

  That will be a miserable job. The new CEO will be constantly micromanaged by Musk and routinely undermined by his latest antics.

  What an expensive lesson for him to teach himself (if he has indeed learned anything).

  I can appreciate his ambition, and what (some of) his companies have done, but he has absolutely mismanaged the acquisition and running of twitter.

  If he could just step back, stick to managing SpaceX, Tesla and Boring, and stop tweeting, I would be very happy.
