Twitter chief executive officer Elon Musk has announced that he will be transitioning to executive chair and chief technology officer of the social media platform in roughly six weeks.

In a May 11 tweet, Musk said he hired a new CEO for X Corp. — Twitter’s parent company — who will likely replace him starting in late June or early July. The unnamed woman will follow Musk, who took over the social media platform in October 2022 after completing a $44-billion acquisition.

According to the soon-to-be former CEO, he will become Twitter’s executive chair and chief technology officer, overseeing product, software, and system operations. Musk fired former CEO Parag Agrawal upon his takeover. 

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
