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?

This is ridiculous. Musk has an empire to run. Buying Twitter cost him many billions. The drop in Tesla stock price (partly due to the perception that he is too distracted with Twitter) has cost him MANY billions more. He has work to attend to, and until the critics are willing to sacrifice two-thirds of THEIR personal wealth to combat the Left, they need to shut their yaps.

Musk stands down as CEO.
Searching for New CEO who will report to Elon Musk, and only Elon Musk

Doesn’t he have other companies to run? I don’t think it was ever his intention to be fulltime Twitter CEO.

He owns the company. Any ceo will do what he says to do.

It was also a way to expose more of the bots that were earlier used (before him) to fraudulently bloat Tw’s value.

In any case, being CEO also limits his ability to act — which was the reason he refused to be bought off earl-on by a seat on the board.
Not being a CEO means he can expose/hint at things that would materially hurt Twitter.

Every bot they controlled, voted, too.

He was NEVER a right wing culture warrior. Just because he declared he had a problem with Twitter censorship did make him right wing, or a warrior. He just saw a business he thought wasn’t being run properly.

And he’s still the primary shareholder, the new CEO won’t be doing anything Musk doesn’t want him to.

He should name Giuliani and watch their heads explode.

It wasn’t a harebrained idea if you anticipated the outcome. He was never going to be full time CEO, and this provides crediblility as being (small d) democratic. Twitter is secondary to his space, EV, and boring companies. But now he has those and is in control over the largest soapbox on the planet.

MUSK did not say WHEN.

MUSK did NOT say WHO would be his NEW CEO.

Be careful what you ask for-—YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE THE RESULTS
