^^Apparently he ran yet another poll and the twitters voted for him to hand over the reigns.
Doubt it will make any difference. Just when we thought the Trump circus ended, here comes another ahole with an ego bigger than Africa.

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Recognizing him for his “relentless contributions to the weariness of humanity,” Time has named Elon Musk the Most Exhausting Person of 2022.

In bestowing the title on Musk, Time cited the Twitter C.E.O.’s “nonstop but fruitless efforts to fill the yawning chasm of his soul by seeking the attention of indifferent strangers.”

In order to win the Most Exhausting crown, Musk bested a formidable list of contenders, including Kanye West, Kari Lake, and Senator Joe Manchin.

Most impressive, he wrested the title from Donald J. Trump, who had won the honor every year from 2016 to 2021.

The Time editors’ decision drew no immediate response from Musk, who was preoccupied with a Twitter poll asking his followers what he should have for lunch.

Elon Musk was never a liberal, and his plans for Twitter were never benevolent

Posted this in Whells "Fake News" thread but it belongs here as this is certainly an Elon Musk issue:

"The Twitter feed sent to my email address recently started including obvious troll posts.

I sent a complaint to Twitter that propagating such posts is a disservice to their membership."

There's no question that Tesla was overpriced, but Musk did his very best to make sure it come down.

What fantasy world does Elon Musk live in where not paying your rent or bills is OK? He's going to get his butt sued.

And good luck finding a new CEO for Twitter.

Maybe there is some socially redeeming value in Twitterdom?
