Elon Musk Says He Expects to Name a Twitter Boss as He Testifies Over His Tesla Pay Deal

Elon Musk said he expects to name someone else to run Twitter Inc. and gradually scale back how much time he spends managing the platform he acquired late last month for $44 billion. 

Mr. Musk, who also runs Tesla Inc. and rocket company SpaceX, said he has been spending the lion’s share of his time on Twitter recently. “I expect to reduce my time at Twitter and find somebody else to run Twitter over time,” Mr. Musk said while testifying in Delaware in a trial over his Tesla TSLA -4.20%decrease; red down pointing triangle compensation package.
