Musk should stay on as CEO of Twitter [View all]

...and step down as CEO of Tesla.

Put a left-leaning no-nonsense CEO at the helm who can take a longer view and remain focused on it. Taking the company private now that the stock price is down would help with that.

There's something seriously wrong when Democrats are cheering at the misfortunes of the world's largest electric vehicle company which just happens to be an American company with over 100,000 employees. Musk is proof that liberals can sometimes be mesmerized by shiny objects as well.

He can run Twitter into the ground for all I care. Tesla is strategically important to the green energy movement and can be saved.
