He is in fact CEO, according to CNBC:

> SpaceX has fired at least five employees who were involved with circulating a letter around the company that was critical of CEO Elon Musk…[1]

Further, if this link is to be believed, he is no longer a majority owner of SpaceX:

> According to filings that SpaceX has made with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Musk currently owns 43.61% of SpaceX's outstanding stock as of August 2021.[2]

CNBC should do better fact checking. The CEO of SpaceX is and has been Gwynne Shotwell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwynne_Shotwell

The link you’re pointing to says that Shotwell is COO, not CEO.
