Elon To Stay As Twitter CEO After Counting Mail-In Votes
2022-12-20
[BBee] After posting a Twitter poll that seemed to indicate most Twitter users want him to step down from Twitter's leadership, Elon Musk has revealed that millions of mail-in ballots sent in yesterday confirmed most people want him to stay.

"Initially the poll seemed to indicate that the majority of users and bots wish me gone, but that was a mirage," said Musk as he emerged from a dark, windowless room with stacks of ballots. "It looks like we got an overnight dump of 2 million mail-in votes that all say they want me to stay in charge of Twitter! Imagine that! Vox Populi Vox Dei!"

#7  I think this was a bot magnet, a way to pull lefties back into twitter, and a way to leave the day-to-day working of the job since he's got Boring, SpaceX, and Tesla to run.

#6  Could this possibly just have been a ruse to find out how many bots are still present on Twitter?

#4  He'll be off to a new challenge soon. He and Donald will be drinking some aged Bain’s Cape Mountain Whisky and having a very good laugh.

#3  With all the spooks “working” there, I would be afraid that the seemingly competent person just wasn’t marginally more productive than a cardboard cutout. My actual caution to him would be that there are usually some insiders who could make a difference and know where the bodies are buried, but a truly bright insider would have left that building Andy DuFresne style long ago.

#2  One of the great traits of successful men is finding competent subordinates. I think Elon may have found what he needed in the debris and detritus of Twitter.

#1  I think he has discovered just how boring Twitter truly is.
