Musk resigning as Twitter CEO, another right-wing culture warrior who caved to the Left [Opinion]
Washington Examiner via msn ^ | 22 Dec 2022 | Christopher Tremoglie

You have to hand it to the Left. It is a powerful machine and global network that knows how to get what it wants. It consists of masterful organizers and propaganda artists. It is unparalleled in spreading its (toxic and destructive) political ideologies and brainwashing billions of people to believe in its causes. And, should all of that fail, it is made up of superbly effective bullies....

...Elon Musk appears to be the latest victim of this bullying. The billionaire new owner of the social media platform tweeted he would resign as Twitter CEO. The announcement came after Musk lost a Twitter poll he posted over the weekend...

...Conservatives and Republicans need sustainable courage, not those who can't handle the heat. It was great that Musk did what he did and showed the world the collusion between the Left and Big Tech. He exposed a lot of corruption. And, to a lesser degree, he revealed their thirst to suppress dissent and squash democracy's principles. But giving up this quickly shows that all the Left must do is be persistent with its attacks and the Right will eventually surrender.

Was it a hairbrained idea for Musk to post a poll? Was he really that unaware that the Left would mobilize every vote to protect their perceived territory?

I'm waiting before judging Musk on this move. After all he could appoint Trump as Twitter's new chief.

Now that would be the epic troll of all time since leftist/globalist filth mobilized to vote Musk out in the online poll he held. Suicide rates among those filthbags would skyrocket if Trump, or another conservative, was appointed as the new Twitter CEO. That would warm my leftist-loathing heart. . .

He said he was buying the company...he never said he would be staying on as CEO long term. The “Poll” was just Elon being Elon....eccentric. He will choose someone of like mind to be CEO and continue Tweeting. He has plenty on his plate with Space X and Tesla...not enought hours in the day for Twitter too.

He could “appoint” Trump...

Who the heck do you think Musk is and where would he get such power?

The article is click bait. What he said was he would resign once he finds someone foolish enough to take the job. He also said he would remain in charge of the software!

He was trolling. He was planning to do that. He still owns the company.

Lighten up y’all.

Rich people buy big things and then appoint people to run them. It’s inefficient for a billionaire to have his fingers in stuff.

Did you expect him to also be the receptionist?

Yep. I have no idea how big business works - but if Musk still owns the place can’t he dictate to the CEO how he wants things run?

And - if he is in charge of the software....isn’t that what Twitter is!?

Not Trump for the new CEO, because Trump, already, has Truth Social. Another conservative, as CEO, would be fine. How about having any conservative candidate who had the 2022 November election stolen from them be the possible replacement for Twitter CEO?

We should not lionize our political and industrial leaders. We assign these people to hero status which is impossible for them to live up to. Trump achieved the presidency and therefore is infallible. Musk bought twitter and is now suppose to be a super genius. Unable to make mistakes, fail or seek to protect their own interests. We should stop trying to look for people to save us from the leftist advances. Nobody’s going to save us from the changes that are coming, or the war that’s going to result from it.

Musk had already made it clear weeks ago he was not going to remain the CEO of Twitter. Its not like he is giving up ownership.

Musk has some very lofty goals and not a lot of time to do them. Screwing around at Twitter for too long could wreck his dream of dying on Mars.

Um…..Musk owns Twitter. He could ask the fairy godmother to run the company.

“Was it a hairbrained idea for Musk to post a poll? Was he really that unaware that the Left would mobilize every vote to protect their perceived territory?”

It doesn’t matter.

A.) He still OWNS the company.

B.) He’s going to take direct personal control of the server and software teams.

C.) This poll really was a stroke of genius in that it smoked out the remaining bots that the libtards use to amplify their echo chambers.

I agree. He can’t do it all. Billionaires find people to run their companies for them. What will be telling is who he hires as the next CEO.
