  • The new Twitter CEO will take charge in six weeks.
  • Elon Musk will be positioned as Twitter’s executive chair and CTO.

Elon Musk’s hunt to find a new CEO for the microblogging social media platform, Twitter, has finally come to an end. After a few months of taking over the position at Twitter, his search appears to be over. 

The Twitter boss announced on May 12th that he has hired a new CEO for the social media platform. Also, the billionaire withheld the person’s name. But Musk didn’t disclose any names; he just revealed that “She” would take up the new Twitter CEO role in six weeks. 

Elon Musk will be replaced by the new person as the head of Twitter’s newly named parent company, X Corporation. The CEO of Tesla announced that he would switch his position as Twitter’s executive chair and CTO. Further, the 51-year-old will oversee products, software, and sysops.

Elon Musk vs Criticism 

When Elon Musk revealed an announcement about the future Twitter CEO, most people took this opportunity to mock Musk in a friendly manner. However, Musk himself self-described himself as the “chief meme officer” of the microblogging platform. 

Further, netizens on Twitter welcomed the new CEO of Twitter with memes that featured Musk wearing a wig. 

However, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion last October and said he would only be in charge for a short period of time to complete the organizational overhaul. 

Aside from social media, Musk has stated that he wants to expand Twitter into an “everything app,” which would include financial services. Currently, Twitter has cryptocurrency price tracking features. Soon, users will be able to trade it. 

Moreover, a poll on Twitter that Musk started in December received 57.5% of the vote for him to leave his position as CEO of the social media site.
