Elon Musk: 'I don't want to be CEO of anything'

And on Friday, he was in full Elon Musk tweet mode. A new book is coming out about the Tesla CEO. One story is that in 2016 - when Tesla was in trouble - Musk reached out to Apple's Tim Cook, who he thought might want to buy the company. The story goes that Elon Musk insisted that as part of the deal, he be made CEO of Apple.
