Elon Musk has many plans for the future, and it mostly involves advanced technology. He is also aiming to visit Mars, and as a businessman and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, he said that he is not planning to remain as his companies’ chief.
Elon talks about his executive post in Tesla
Elon Musk recently said that he will not be leaving his CEO post in Tesla any time soon but said that "nobody is or should be CEO forever." This means that he will be stepping down as the company chief at some point but only vaguely shared when it will be.
As per Fox Business, during Tesla’s 2020 fourth-quarter earnings call that took place this week, Elon Musk was asked about his previous statements about stepping down as the company’s CEO.
He previously said that he will be quitting as the CEO and become the company’s chief architect instead when Tesla starts mass-market car production for units like the Model 3. The media inquired if his statements are still true.
“Well, I expect to be CEO of Tesla for several years,” Elon Musk said in response to the question. “I think there's still a lot that I'm super excited about doing and I think it would be hard to leave.”
He added that no CEO should ever stay in his position permanently, so he will definitely step down but when it is still unknown. But as he said, perhaps, he will be the chief for several more years. Elon Musk said that he is not ready to quit just yet because he still has a lot to do, and in fact, he has been working day and night.
Elon Musk vs. Jeff Bezos again
Elon Musk has always been pitted against Jeff Bezos, and they are in dispute once again. The world’s richest men have been involved in a spat due to the planned satellite internet system.
Elon Musk is criticizing Amazon when its SpaceX company accused Jeff Bezo’s firm of posting "misleading claims" regarding the Starlink strategies. SpaceX wants to place Starlink’s satellite internet system at lower altitudes, but this was opposed by Amazon.
Now, as SpaceX is waiting for the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to approve its request for the satellites' placements, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos continue to argue.
The e-commerce company is simply objecting because dangerous collisions could happen in space, and there is also the possibility for increase radio interference for customers, as per CNBC. Then again, it is yet to be seen if Elon Musk's company will be given a go signal or not.
