In an online address from The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit in London, Musk said he did not plan to endorse any particular candidate but wanted to use Twitter as a public Civic Square.
The billionaire also said he favors “someone who is more normal” in the White House.
Musk highlighted the difficulty of running Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter at the same time. “It requires frequent mode switching,” he said. He said he usually organizes most of his schedule himself.
Musk said he already has a succession plan in place for the businesses he manages, but the company’s board of directors would not necessarily follow his advice.
