Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Twitter, recently announced that he had found a new CEO to take over his role as head of the social media platform. The new CEO will be a woman, starting her new role in the next few weeks.
Musk’s announcement of his new CEO came shortly after he asked Twitter users whether they thought he should remain at the helm of Twitter. After receiving over 17 million votes, the majority said that it was time for Musk to step down, and he promised to “abide by the results of this poll.”
I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams.

It seems that Musk was also preparing to take a step back from the platform due to his growing concerns over censorship and political corruption. He recently made a bold statement that the Democrat Party had become so divisive and hate-filled that he could no longer vote for them. He warned that their “dirty tricks campaign” against him would soon unfold.
Musk is now a vocal advocate for free speech and his fight against big tech censorship. As executive chair and CTO, he will be overseeing product, software, and sysops, and he is determined to make sure that Twitter remains a platform for free expression.
As Musk said in his announcement of his new CEO, “I am confident that she will help make Twitter an even better place to share ideas and have conversations.”
Excited to announce that I’ve hired a new CEO for X/Twitter. She will be starting in ~6 weeks!
My role will transition to being exec chair & CTO, overseeing product, software & sysops.

This is a monumental step forward for those fighting for freedom of speech and expression on social media. With Musk at the helm, Twitter users can expect that their right to speak their minds without fear of censorship and political bias will be protected.
It’s encouraging to see a high-profile figure like Musk taking a stand against the powerful tech giants who are trying to silence their critics. His courage and commitment to free speech should be a model for others in the tech industry who are looking to do the same.
Ultimately, Musk’s leadership has been a great example of how important it is to protect free speech and expression, especially on social media platforms. With his new CEO in place, Twitter users can rest assured that their voices will be heard.
