Elon Musk has revealed that he never wanted to become a CEO but he sees no other way to bring technology and design to fruition.
After a Twitter user recalled Musk being replaced as CEO of X.com in 2000, he tweeted: “I never wanted to be CEO — just wanted to work on product/technology. Bill Harris sounded like he would be a great CEO, given his Intuit experience, but he was not”.
