Who is the new official Technoking of Tesla?

Answer: Elon Musk.

Were you really expecting it to be anyone else?

Elon Musk has made some new changes at Tesla, but since he has yet to discuss it on Twitter, we have all been left speculating as to what it means. According to a new filing with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the CEO has a new official title: “Technoking.”

Tesla Chief Financial Officer Zach Kirkhorn also got a new title reminiscent of Game of Thrones: “Master of Coin.” The filing states that both will retain their previous titles of CEO and CFO in addition to their new ones.  

Some have guessed that the new titles, particularly Technoking, could be an attempt to garner more interest in the company. According to Newsweek, Tesla’s stock price has fallen a bit in the last few months, from $880 in January to $694 at the end of last week. There’s also the possibility, however, that this has nothing to do with business interests and is just Musk having a bit of fun.
