Elon Musk says he’s found a new CEO for Twitter
https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/11/tech/elon-musk-twitter-ceo/index.html
Elon Musk on Thursday said he’s found a new CEO to take over Twitter, months after he first promised to step back from the role.
The new CEO will assume the role at Twitter Inc., which recently changed its name to X Corp., in the coming weeks, Musk said. He did not provide a name.
“Excited to announce that I’ve a new CEO for X/Twitter. She will be starting in ~6 weeks!” Musk said in a tweet.
Musk, who has had a chaotic reign as “Chief Twit” since buying the company in October, said he will become Twitter’s executive chair and chief technology officer, overseeing product, software and system operations.
In December, Musk ran a poll on the platform asking users whether he should step back as Twitter’s CEO, which ended with the majority of users voting in the affirmative. Musk said he would abide by the results of the poll but later backtracked, saying he would hand over the role “as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job!” In February, he reiterated that he planned to find a replacement by the end of the year.
Musk has faced criticism for a series of policy changes at Twitter, which often came without clear justification and raised concerns about the impact on Twitter’s users.
He has also been attempting to convince advertisers to rejoin the platform, after many fled over concerns about hateful conduct on the platform, Twitter’s mass layoffs or questions about the company’s future. At the same time, he has been trying to sell users on a new paid subscription platform that includes the ability to pay for a blue verification check mark, but appears to have limited traction so far.
Musk — who runs or is involved in numerous other companies, including Tesla (TSLA) — has also faced criticism from Tesla (TSLA) shareholders concerned that he is distracted by Twitter.
Musk recently said that Twitter is now “trending to breakeven,” after previously saying it was at risk of bankruptcy. Now, the company’s new CEO will be tasked with trying to help turn around the struggling company and help Musk recoup some of the $44 billion spent acquiring the platform.
Even as Musk prepares to step back from the CEO role, he will likely maintain significant control over the future direction of the company. After taking over the company in October, Musk cleared out the C-Suite, dissolved the board and became both the CEO and sole director of the platform.

Was gonna post this. I say, finally! Although I'm afraid that won't stop him from posting nonsense on a regular basis. Perhaps it will help prop up TSLA
Oh, I wouldn't worry. I'm sure she'll have plenty to say:
let the conspiracies begin
"On the other hand, the hiring of Yaccarino to head the social network which in recent months has become the bane of liberals and progressives through its encouragement of free speech and independent thought, both of which are despised and suppressed by the left, could be a problem."
Yes, from Zero Hedge, but is it not true?
Think upon that.

Reading through the ET Twitter / Musk posts and Trump / GOP posts is like reading about constant train wrecks, ya kind of get tired of it, but at the same time drawn to it because its so outlandish - bizzare, there should be made a special place in hell for America's famous and politicians.
Just the same old crap going on at Musk's Twitter 2.0.
Twitter disables autocomplete after it recommended animal torture and mass shooting videos. On the other hand, most of Musk's favored right-wing MAGA nutcase audience is deeply into shooting videos and torturing animals when they are not busy searching for child pornography on Twitter.

Searching for dog and cat videos returned horrifying results.

Same with Trump, there doesn't seem a day goes by without a new drama popping up, what a way to live. I suppose that's what extreme Narcassism does to a person, driven to extremes of being outlandish in order to be noticed, surely a mental illness. Untreatable?
