I’ve seen on Twitter that rumor is that people financing Musk’s Twitter purchase are telling him he needs to find a CEO for the company. Personally, I have no hope of him finding anyone competent. Of course, he’s already screwed things up so bad that I’m not sure it’s salvageable. What a clown.

Well, he might. I could see someone thinking that "righting this ship" could be a challenge. Twitter still has a powerful inertia factor, and people could go back to it simply out of habit. Its still a huge media company and its been less than a couple of months since his takeover.MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 3:06 am I’ve seen on Twitter that rumor is that people financing Musk’s Twitter purchase are telling him he needs to find a CEO for the company.

The problem? There is no way on God's Green and Blue Earth that Musk could stay out of the decision making or running of Twitter. He would stick his nose in out of sheer arrogance and megalomania. Plus he would be sitting there twitting about every single decision.
A new CEO would have to nail his ass down, and the grinning fool would simply not stick to to the deal. In short, the biggest thing that would stop Musk getting a good CEO is Musk.
Of course, he could hire the Trump Organization to run it... And there is a non zero change that could happen.

Another factor in Musk offering to step down from the CEO role is that the fuss around Twitter is harming Tesla and its share price.
Twitter might (or might not) be an amusing plaything for Musk, but his first love and his main asset is Tesla, followed by his rockets. He won't want troubles at Twitter to spoil Tesla.

Or just buy up the treasure trove of truthfulness, merge them and retain Nunes.

Conspiracy theory:-
Elmo was seen with Jared Kushner and lots of Saudis in the World cup. Could this be a plan to step aside... and put Slenderman Jared in as CEO? The Saudis already own Jared, and with Captain Useless at the helm Musky can blame him for the collapse of twitter leaving his godlike halo intact. The only loser is Ivanka's Idiot.
Jared is arrogant enough to think he could do it too.

I know. It is rough. The accommodations are a bit shoddy, and room/food service is non existent.

Over on the other site yet another edition of the misleadingly framed "Twitter Files" came out today... and show, once again, that Twitter actively and regularly PUSHED BACK against the FBI...
But, which the usual morons are again using as proof that Twitter was a state actor controlled by the FBI.

Elon Musk breaks silence after 10 million Twitter users vote for him to step down
The billionaire says only paid Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to vote in future policy-related polls on the platform
Alex Hern and agencies

Elon Musk has tweeted for the first time since more than 10 million people voted in favour of him stepping down as Twitter’s chief executive, saying that only paid Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to vote in future policy-related polls.
On Sunday, Musk asked Twitter users whether he should step down as the head of the company, promising to abide by the results of his poll. When the poll closed on Monday, 57.5% said he should step down.
Normally a prolific user of the platform, Musk did not tweet in the immediate hours after the poll. His silence was finally broken when he responded with “Interesting” to multiple suggestions that the results of the poll were skewed by fake accounts.
Replying to another user’s suggestion that “Blue subscribers should be the only ones that can vote in policy related polls”, Musk said: “Good point. Twitter will make that change.”
Twitter Blue is a paid-for subscription that allows anyone to buy a blue tick verified badge for their account.
As the majority owner of the privately held company, no one can force Musk out, but a series of baffling decisions over the past few days has caused even some of his closest backers to break ties with him.

I’m not as I formed about Elon’s life as I thought I was. And now I’m more informed than I want to be.
This is a crazy thread, really long. It pulls in some old incidents I was only vaguely aware of. I don’t know the tweeter but he’s not nobody. He’s a hedge fund manager.
Sorry, I’m putting a twitter link here.
Details about his first marriage, grimes, Ambien, shrooms… too too much to list.

Elon Musk is having another meltdown. He is a drug addict, losing his fortune, and his mind.
You are watching one of the greatest shows in history unfold on Twitter right now.
