Elon Musk tweeted on Monday that he might try to stay out of the public eye for a while. "The amount of attention on me has gone supernova, which super sucks," he tweeted with a sad emoticon. "Unfortunately, even trivial articles about me generate a lot of clicks." "Will try my best to be heads down focused on doing useful things for civilization." Mr Musk is founder of SpaceX and Starlink, and a co-founder at Tesla. This month he <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/technology/2022/07/19/twitter-and-elon-musk-face-off-in-court-over-bid-for-fast-track-trial/" target="_blank">tried to back out of an acquisition of Twitter</a>. With his mention of "trivial articles," Mr Musk may be referring to online conversation around photos of him shirtless on holiday and other articles <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/us-news/2022/07/07/elon-musk-reportedly-had-twins-with-neuralink-executive/" target="_blank">with allegations about his dating life</a>. He has not made many public appearances lately, but he <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/us-news/2022/07/03/elon-musk-meets-pope-francis-during-trip-to-italy/" target="_blank">did meet Pope Francis</a> with four of his children during a trip to Italy. His tweet sharing a photo from the meeting was posted after an absence from Twitter, where he has more than 100 million followers.
