NEW YORK: Tesla boss Elon Musk tweeted on Friday that he is considering resigning, hours after selling another chunk of shares in his company.

“Thinking of quitting my jobs & becoming an influencer full-time,” Musk wrote to his 65 million Twitter followers in an apparently playful tweet that drew around 250,000 “likes”.

Besides running Tesla, Musk is the CEO of SpaceX, which he founded in 2002.

He is also known for making eye-popping statements on social media.

On Thursday evening, the world’s richest person sold just over 934,000 shares in Tesla, according to documents filed with US stock regulators.
