I expect Tesla will still be his "crown jewel". He's already announced he's searching for a Twitter CEO. I doubt it would take him much time out of his day to set a general vision for Twitter.
Jeff Bezos for example owns the Washington Post, but doesn't run it (which will likely be the case with Musk and Twitter in a few months), and it doesn't seem to have detracted from anything while he was still CEO of Amazon.
Finding the right CEO will be the challenge, and I surprisingly haven't heard any speculation on who could get the job.
Depends on what we mean by that; SpaceX might be what he takes the most pride in (due to the much longer-term vision, and more "grandiose" nature of space exploration). What I meant was that Tesla is his first priority, which he micromanages the most and spends the most time at.
- Use Twitter to pay for parking (tired of downloading tons of apps in different cities to do this)
- Musk should find other verticals where ppl have to download multiple apps to do the same thing.. just do it in Twitter
- Make Twitter a public Internet identity system. You want to troll online use your fake account... you want to be serious, comment online using your verified Internet ID that Twitter has verified you in many ways
- Free speech .. cesspool continues and worse via anonymous/fake Twitter accounts. Slightly less when one uses their verified account
I think he could triple his investment with a kitchen sink app!

From what I've seen, non-anonymity doesn't do much to reduce the vitriol of online discussion. What it probably has a larger impact on is on potentially persecuted minorities (say, trans people), where non-anonymity makes it easier to threaten them in real life.
Well i dont see a way ever to force everyone to use their verified public Internet identity, but such a system is needed. Especially with deepfakes technology getting more evolved and easier to use.
Hmmm...on a different note...Getting downvoted and would enjoy hearing why if anyone cares to explain. Are you not tired too of downloading tons of apps just to pay for parking?
cool and thanks, but that's what Musk has said he wants to do and just sharing some thoughts/ideas around that.
You don't have to use it, but many others who desire a simplest user experience for X will and that's a money maker I believe. A way to reap his investment and then some.
I would very much prefer that he focuses on SpaceX and Tesla, in this order, seeing as he's more or less custom-built for those jobs, and there aren't that many people like that around.
Running Twitter OTOH? There's an endless supply of "captains of industry" in the Silicon Valley, who would be willing and able to do it.
