Musk had only recently pushed Amazon boss Jeff Bezos from the throne of the richest person on earth with an estimated fortune of 185 billion dollars. Musk has almost 45 million followers on Twitter – his comments are watched with eagle eyes by his fans. How long and why Musk wants to withdraw from Twitter, he left open on Tuesday.
But his Twitter demeanor already caused him considerable trouble. In August 2018 he caused a stir with a tweet in which he pondered about taking Tesla off the stock exchange.

He had to resign as Tesla supervisory board chairman and was given conditions for his statements in online media.
