This time around the billionaire is considering leaving his current roles and becoming an influencer.
"Thinking of quitting my jobs & becoming an influencer full-time wdyt," Musk said in the tweet, without providing any further insight into any possible plans.

It may be fair to assume that Musk is not being totally serious regarding his plans, but then again, the entrepreneur stuck to his word by selling over $10bn worth of his Tesla stock following a Twitter poll.
In addition to Tesla, Musk heads up SpaceX, Neuralink and The Boring Company.

Musk is known for his humor on Twitter and can most probably relax in the knowledge that he should be safe from any kind of legal action this time around, having come under the microscope of regulators previously.
Back in 2018 Musk was fined $20m by the US Securities and Exchange Commission for tweets and was even made to step away from a chairman position.
