Would Elon Musk Actually Step Down as Twitter's C.E.O.? (The New York Times)

The Twitter owner has said he will resign as chief executive, but it's far from certain whether he would actually step down as the boss.

Elon Musk to step down as Twitter's CEO : New chief needs these ... (bizzbuzz)

London: In a strong response to a recent Twitter poll posted by Elon Musk, users of the platform have called for him to relinquish his position as CEO.

So the new CEO will need to be confident, perhaps even arrogant, and ready to stand their ground. Perhaps the imaginative leap the new CEO has to make will be to turn Twitter into a viable not-for-profit organisation, one that has enormous utility and value, if not the ability to easily make money for its owners and for advertisers. And it can be a force for good – for example providing data and advice during the pandemic or helping to highlight the failings of politicians or the media – even with the unpleasantness and abuse that seem to be an unavoidable part of tweeting. So, if Twitter was to attempt to find a new CEO, what sort of person should the troubled social media platform be looking for? Since then he has made – and sometimes walked back – numerous changes to the popular social media platform. Musk hasn't confirmed he will step down since the poll ended, but any replacement will need to be able to steer Twitter back to calmer waters even with Musk staying on as majority owner.

Elon Musk Says He Will Step Down As Twitter CEO—Only After He ... (Forbes)

Musk's statement comes after millions of Twitter users voted for him to step down in a poll he conducted.

Both Musk and Twitter have been embroiled in a series of controversies ever since he paid $44 billion to acquire the social media platform in late October. Koguan later [noted](https://twitter.com/KoguanLeo/status/1604502621284208641) he would prefer if Musk handed off the Twitter CEO role to someone else so he could become a “full time” CEO for Tesla once again. The billionaire, however, reneged on this promise last month and began assuming the role of the final arbiter of what Twitter should and should not allow. The sharp decline has been driven by the poor performance of Tesla’s stock and has resulted in him ceding the world's richest person title to Bernard Arnault, CEO of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH. [claims to be](https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnhyatt/2021/10/31/elon-musk-fanboy-leo-koguan-bets-nearly-everything-on-tesla-and-makes-billions/?sh=75c1c98fa581) the third largest Tesla investor in the world, [said](https://twitter.com/KoguanLeo/status/1603022448416407553) last week that Musk had “abandoned Tesla” and urged the company’s board to look for a new CEO. Musk’s announcement gave a slight bump to Tesla’s shares in after-hours trading after another bad day at the market where they crashed by 8.05% and dropped below $140 a share.

CEOs Who Might Replace Elon Musk at Twitter, Ranked (Gizmodo)

Musk has been quite candid in acknowledging that it'll be hard to find someone who wants the job. We rank the likeliest candidates to get an offer.

As part of financing the purchase, Musk has added significant debt to the balance sheets along with [$1.5 billion](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-08/musk-bankers-mull-tesla-margin-loans-to-cut-risky-twitter-debt) a year in interest payments. So yeah, Musk is going to have a tough time finding a qualified person to take over as CEO who is simultaneously willing to implement the big boss’s whims and take the public backlash for the chaos they inevitably create. He also said [in November](https://www.reuters.com/technology/elon-musk-says-he-expects-reduce-his-time-twitter-court-testimony-2022-11-16/) that he planned to eventually find a new leader for Twitter, and he’s probably regretting not making an offer to someone (anyone!) at the time.
