$Tesla(TSLA.US)$ CEO Elon Musk said that "chief executive officer" is a "made-up title," speaking during an interview at The Wall Street Journal's CEO Council Summit.

Elon Musk agreed in 2018 to step down as Tesla's chairman for three years as part of a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Instead, he crowned himself "Technoking of Tesla".

He is repeatedly saying he doesn't want to be CEO and complaining at times about his workload. In fact, he said in January that he expected to run Tesla for several more years but that nobody should be CEO forever.
"The sheer amount of work required to be CEO of Tesla is insane," he said at the time.

Notably, he described himself as a "funny" person in the interview.

"I do crack a lot of jokes, they don't all land," he said, "I am aspirational funny. I try to have a good sense of human at the office too."

Mooers, did you ever believe any of Musk's "jokes," especially the ones he tweeted? Leave your story here!
