Elon Musk said on May 11 he has found a new chief executive for Twitter without naming the person and that he will transition to the role of chief technology officer of the social media platform within the next few weeks.
"Excited to announce that I've hired a new CEO for X/Twitter. She will be starting in ~6 weeks!," Mr. Musk said in a tweet.
Mr. Musk has previously not named any prospective candidates, and it was unclear who he had named as his successor, although Blind, an anonymous messaging app for tech employees, was ripe with speculation.
Former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and a top executive at Mr. Musk' brain-chip startup Neuralink, Shivon Zilis, were among the names being discussed on Blind, according to a former employee who viewed the comments.
Top female executives from Mr. Musk's other companies, such as SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell and Tesla Inc Chair Robyn Denholm could also be named, according to Jason Benowitz, senior portfolio manager at CI Roosevelt.
Mr. Musk said he will transition to the role of Twitter's executive chair, along with the role of CTO, where he would oversee product, software & sysops.
Tesla shares closed 2.1% higher on May 11 and analysts said the announcement helped alleviate some investor concerns around Mr. Musk's active involvement at Twitter.
