Even the chaos in the social media company looks less scary than the freefall in the e-carmaker’s shares

In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, Elon Musk, the self-styled chief twit and content moderator remarked that he will resign as CEO after 57.5% of his platform users wanted him out in a Twitter poll where he popped the question. The catch, however, continues to be when. To quote Musk‘s own words, “as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job.” Read: a successor.

Musk has reasons to find said foolish person fast, not just because we all deserve a sanity break from his constant attention-seeking antics, but because the clock is ticking at the company that propelled Musk to the genius that he’s often made out to be: Tesla.
