Elon Musk finally Resigns as CEO of Twitter

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Twitter owner recently held a poll putting his future as CEO in the hands of social media users.

It took time but Elon Musk finally kept his word.

The whimsical and charismatic visionary will respect the results of the poll he himself organized on December 18.

-snip-

Voters had only two options: Yes and No. Nearly 18 million Twitter users had voted and 57.5% had opted for Yes. Musk had pledged to respect the results of the vote.

1. "whimsical and charismatic"?

Yeah no.

8. "Shambolic and authoritarian" is what it should say.

2. but I believe he tweeted that he would be in charge of everything that wasn't sales

since he already killed the content moderation team.

so, while he doesn't have the title of CEO, he still owns it and runs the entire engineering team, leaving only the sales team which, as we all know, is in the shitter.

3. He'll only hire someone who is just as bad or worse than he is...nothing will change

4. Sadly, no

The linked article has nothing to add to the "when I find someone foolish enough" tweet.

There's a fair amount of filagree from the writer of this article.

But nothing to support the fait accompli headline.

5. He's hired a stooge to be the designated fall guy.

Elon will still be in control of the editorial content....the CEO will be the designated jerk to take the public heat.

6. Who cares.

I mean it. Who cares?

Twitter is a dinosaur.

7. It doesn't appear that the headline of the story is actually true.

He hasn't resigned. He still claims he will resign.

9. I see nothing to suggest he has resigned.

He has said he will resign once he finds a replacement. Not the same thing, especially since the article suggests he has been playing games with people who have come forward; finding excuses not to name them as CEO - or putting up artificial barriers.
