Elon Musk crowns himself as ‘Technoking of Tesla’ in new regulatory filing and dubs his CFO the ‘Master of Coin’
- Cryptic SEC filing on Monday grants new titles to CEO Elon Musk and his CFO
- Musk will now be ‘Technoking’ and CFO Zachary Kirkhorn is ‘Master of Coin’
- The filing provided no explanation and did not elaborate on the new titles
Tesla has added ‘Technoking of Tesla’ to billionaire CEO Elon Musk‘s list of official titles in a formal regulatory filing that also named finance chief Zachary Kirkhorn ‘Master of Coin.’
The cryptic, two-sentence filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday did not elaborate on the reasons for the unusual new titles
The electric-car maker said in a separate statement that President of Automotive Jerome Guillen had moved to the role of President for Tesla Heavy Trucking, effective March 11.
‘Master of Coin’ is a title held by several characters in the HBO series Game of Thrones. The first Master of Coin in the series is Lord Petyr Baelish, aka Littlefinger, whose financial wizardry is revealed to rely on massive borrowing.

‘Coin’ in the CFO’s new title is also likely a reference to Bitcoin, following Musk’s recent obsession with cryptocurrency.
Last month, Tesla revealed it had purchased $1.5 billion of Bitcoin and would soon accept it as a form of payment for cars, sending the price of the world’s most popular cryptocurrency soaring.
Musk’s recent promotion of Dogecoin on Twitter has also lifted the price of that cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin hit new highs of near $62,000 over the weekend but retreated around 5 percent early on Monday.
