$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ 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!

Neuralink, cofounded by Musk in 2016, is developing a chip that would be implanted in people's brains to simultaneously record and stimulate brain activity. It is intended to have medical applications such as treating serious spinal cord injuries and neurological disorders.
Neuralink hopes to have their first implant devices in humans by 2022, pending FDA approval, Elon Musk said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, hoping they could restore full-body functionality to quadriplegics.
On Twitter, the billionaire entrepreneur clarified that "I am definitely not saying that we can for sure do this, but I am increasingly confident that this is possible."
Neuralink made waves in the spring of 2021 when a video of a monkey implanted with a Neuralink implant was seen playing a video game telepathically.
Neuralink's working well in monkeys and we're actually doing just a lot of testing and just confirming that it's very safe and reliable and the Neuralink device can be removed safely. We hope to have this in our first humans — which will be people that have severe spinal cord injuries like tetraplegics, quadriplegics — next year, pending FDA approval."
—— Musk said.
Mooers, do you think whether the Neuralink's brain chips could be successfully implanted in humans in 2022? Will you accept such brain implants?
