The hurricane in which Twitter is involved will take a new course, sooner or later. Elon Musk announced that he would resign “when i got the fool” that he assume as CEO, after the survey carried out on the network that “determined” his resignation.
“Determined”, in quotation marks, because We thought that the decision on his continuity at the helm of Twitter had already been decided.
With Tesla in a tight spot, Musk needs to focus on one of his most developed businesses. Twitter is just giving you headaches.

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.
