Elon Musk says he's found a new CEO for Twitter, a woman who will start in 6 weeks:
Elon Musk said Thursday he has found a new CEO for Twitter, or X Corp. as it's now called.
He did not name the person but she will be starting in about six weeks.
Musk, who bought Twitter last fall and has been running it since, has been insisting he is not the company's permanent CEO.
The Tesla billionaire said in a tweet Thursday that his role will transition to being Twitter's executive chairman and chief technology officer.
Musk has been saying for nearly six months that he plans to find a new CEO for San Francisco-based Twitter.

So let me say it stronger. Musk once literally said on Twitter about WEF:
So, now when he endorses that woman, he either lied straight, or he was forced to do this by other factors.
Either way, he lost his face. Just a turncoat.

He has to strike a nearly impossible balance to keep Twitter from becoming an echo chamber, while making it profitable. The right will eat shit to get even a crumb of platform, while the left will use the media to target advertisers and tear it all down. So wait to see if this was a 4D chess move or betrayal, and continue to not trust Twitter for anything important.

Define "important" please. These days the definition seems to depend on how polarized you are?
If we're talking "breaking news" then Twitter has always been good for the scoop, usually without any benefit of fact checking. So if the "breaking news" directly effects you, best to check that it's not a false alarm or worse (SWATting, false flag).
If it's an opinion that is going viral, again, make sure for yourself that it's grounded in fact...not just that you agree with it.

Censoring opposition Turkish tweets before the election from Mr. Free Speech Absolutionist, FTW!
Posting his private jet location using public information with an hour delay is a pretty strange definition of doxxing, if that is what you are getting at.
And disagreeing with him and getting sacked is EXACTLY like yelling FIRE in a crowded theater! So is criticising him or report on his shortcomings and getting your account terminated or suspended. f
He's my free speech hero!!!

He brought this on himself! Now he has to dig himself out.
On the bright side, now Musk has something to occupy his time.

Would Musk not be a part of the WEF?
