TSLA shareholders probably not thrilled to hear that he's not going to focus on the plummetting share price, and not even stepping away from Twitter at all, just moving into the role of middle manager there.

No one with any ability is going to want the CEO role either, knowing that the owner is still going to be lurking, micromanaging, and second guessing every decision.

    Elon's involvement with SW at Tesla has been terrible. Functionality has not aligned with customer manuals for years. And that is before you come to the Full Self Driving.

    I'm not expecting serious improvement at Twitter -- particularly given the reckless devotion to 'rules', as Elon promulgates them via tweet.

This won't work if he just hires a stooge. I don't think his ego will allow him to divorce himself from Twitter.

I imagine the set of people who could take Twitter through a bold transformational stage, aren't already leading their own company, and would take this job in these circumstances is a very tiny group indeed.

He's said a lot of things that later turned out to be feints.

I voted to have him step down.

But, I do support him buying Twitter. Some people may disagree but the documents Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss have been releasing is stuff the public has the right to know, even though a few corporations, security state actors, and some politicians may prefer to keep secret.

A world where people in power have an imbalance of intelligence over regular people is bad.

    People in power invest in sourcing, curating, and interpreting information into intelligence and wield it for gain. Regular people do not seek intelligence that they can use to affect a large part of society, for they anre content with smaller things.

      That is one of the most arrogant and ignorant things that I have ever read.
