Elon Musk announces that he wants to step down as Twitter boss. He does not reveal the name of his successor. In the best Musk hype tradition, however, he indicated via the pronoun that it will be a woman – and there are already tips.
It may be coincidence, but of course the timing is hilarious: On Thursday afternoon, Elon Musk announced his retirement as head of Twitter. His successor will start in about six weeks – but he did not reveal their name. In the best Musk hype tradition, he only indicated with the pronoun “she” that it will probably be a woman. As head of technology and board member, he will take care of the platform, software and system functions. So things that are more fun for a tinkerer like him anyway – like he is responsible for the products at the rocket manufacturer Spacex. Musk remains a one-man marketing machine as a Twitter lucky hatch anyway: He sends faster than his shadow and thus often faster than the reflex that usually prevents other people from saying something foolishly rash.
