As Twitchy readers know, Elon Musk polled Twitter on whether he should step down as head of Twitter. He promised to abide by the results of the poll and has now vowed that he will resign as CEO once he’s identified a replacement.
We think there were probably a fair number of libs who thought this meant Twitter was about to, once again, become an Elon-free platform. Sorry, folks, he still owns the company. He’ll pick his replacement and they will not likely be anything at all like the people who ran Twitter 1.0.
You’re still going to be miserable, libs. It’s sort of your thing.
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.

Every leftwing narcissist on the face of the planet crawled out of their burrows to volunteer themselves for the job. Of course.
They don’t understand how this is going to work. He still owns the company.
Here are some of the more humorous suggestions.
We all know you’re going to pick me – it’s the only real choice.

Seems to be the obvious pick, right?
Catturd™, king of the Twitter litter box! We like it.
Many people are saying I should be the CEO

LOL, clearly.

Great choice. What could possibly go wrong?
We almost forgot to laugh at this suggestion because we were so busy not updating our myspace pages.
Tom is also a funny suggestion because the world has changed drastically since myspace had its run. People loved the thought of setting up their page and telling you anything about themselves. The folks who were more likely to want to censor them at the time were largely on the Right.
My, how things have changed. Leftists have become the champions of censorship.

The game is afoot now. Twitter won’t accept a return to Jack-style leadership and the biased management being unveiled by the Twitter Files. It’s also hard to imagine left-leaning Twitter will accept anything less.
The same people who are screeching about Elon Musk are never going to be satisfied with whomever he chooses as his replacement. That person will simply be ‘Elon’s Yes Man’ (or woman).
Good luck to whoever steps into the CEO role.
You're in for a really long wait to find the right person.

Yeah, this is going to be tough. Probably better give it some serious deliberation for the next 3 or 4 years.
No rush 😉

Exactly, take your time, Elon. LOL.
Well, that’s a surprise, Musk was lying.
The dude doesn’t understand people hate him. He thought he would get fawned over in his poll, and is backtracking.
No, people genuinely hate you. Those weren’t bots at Chappelle booing you. https://t.co/adYTZmr1Ap

She mad. We’ve been telling you they’re full of hate.

Elon checking in on Brianna Wu. LOL!
😂 worded perfectly. Heads are exploding. They thought you were going to leave, as if you dont still own the company.

Bingo. These clowns thought they won something here. Twitter’s not going back to a leftist bubble, propped up by biased content moderation, and policed by the FBI in service of Democrats.
Elon – pls focus on seasoned media execs who are passionate about advertising AND technology. There are plenty of people from $DIS, $META, $GOOGL with all the requisite skills and foolish enough to take the job. How about Bret Taylor?
— Gary Black (@garyblack00) December 21, 2022
LOLOLOL! People remember why Musk bought Twitter in the first place, right? Disney, Meta, and Google … LOL!
Bret Taylor was the chairman of Twitter 1.0’s board when Elon Musk bought the company. Yeah, that would go well.

Bro, he still owns your grifting gravy train. Buckle up.

HAHA! Okay, that’s funny!
