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.
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.
Maybe he’ll sell it to Trump. Just picture the left’s reaction! 🤣ðŸ¤
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?
Musk isn’t right wing.
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?
He’s not stupid he wants to move on to more interesting things that running the cesspool. This is all to plan.
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.
“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.
BTW, I am on Twitter a little bit each day and have noticed a lot of little improvements in layout and data availability.
Too bad FR doesn't improve and adapt. I remember when the "number of views" was indicated on each FR thread. It gave Freepers an idea of what was hot and what wasn't. It helped inform thread posters about the appetite of readers for certain subjects.
Musk is still the owner. He planned to step down anyway. No caving. Just smart optics.
Another birdbrain dumb @ss journalist.
Well into the buying stage, I think Elon had a plan of carrying the load for 60 to 90 days, and have his pick of a person to run Twitter. It’s a full-time job and he’s got a thousand projects on his mind.
Whoever he picks....it will of the same mindset, and consumed about free speech.
It is tempting to post something sarcastic in response to that. You don't honestly think Musk is unaware of what the Left will do, do you?
As an old friend of mine used to say, "if you're so smart, why aren't you rich (a billionaire, in this case)?"
I’ll bet he caught a multitude of bots with that poll.
I have a friend who works for Tesla. He has an upper management position here at Giga NY and attends weekly meetings with Musk. He says that typically, when Musk poses a question or thought, he has already decided what he’s planning to do long before he even brings it up. He insists that Musk has some ultimate future plan in mind for Twitter which nobody sees or knows of.
A writer who has not been researching the topic.
He said that as soon as he finds someone silly enough that wants the job, he will step aside. By the time that happens, more ballots might appear, or something else that makes him laugh. He might get his money’s worth after all.
