Musk to step down as Twitter CEO after finding replacement (opens in new tab)

> After that, I will just run the software & servers teams

TSLA shareholders probably not thrilled to hear that he's not going to focus on the plummetting share price, and not even stepping away from Twitter at all, just moving into the role of middle manager there.

No one with any ability is going to want the CEO role either, knowing that the owner is still going to be lurking, micromanaging, and second guessing every decision.

This won't work if he just hires a stooge. I don't think his ego will allow him to divorce himself from Twitter.

I imagine the set of people who could take Twitter through a bold transformational stage, aren't already leading their own company, and would take this job in these circumstances is a very tiny group indeed.

He's said a lot of things that later turned out to be feints.

I voted to have him step down.

But, I do support him buying Twitter. Some people may disagree but the documents Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss have been releasing is stuff the public has the right to know, even though a few corporations, security state actors, and some politicians may prefer to keep secret.

A world where people in power have an imbalance of intelligence over regular people is bad.
