Musk had announced he would appoint a CEO late last year.
Elon Musk says he has picked a new CEO for Twitter, the social media site he has led since taking over last October.
Musk said the new chief executive would start in around six weeks. Musk agreed to step down as the site’s leader after a tumultuous start to his tenure last year, but had said little until now about who would emerge in charge.
“Excited to announce that I’ve a new CEO for X/Twitter,” Musk
wrote in a tweet. “She will be starting in ~6 weeks! My role will transition
to being exec chair & CTO, overseeing product, software &
sysops.”
He did not immediately name the new executive.

is a developing story and will be updated.
