On December 18, 2022, Elon Musk publish a ballot asking, “Should I step down as head of Twitter, I can abide through the result of this ballot. The result of the ballot went in opposition to Musk and 3 days later after he publish the ballot, he tweeted, “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.
Till now, no one “foolish enough” was found. But it does seem like Twitter has a new CEO and he goes by the name Floki, In a tongue-in-cheek comment made in a Twitter Spaces conversation with BBC, Musk said that he had indeed stepped down as CEO of Twitter. “I did stand down,” he said. “I keep telling you I’m not the CEO of Twitter, my dog is the CEO of Twitter.”
In the dialog he later reiterated, “I stated I might appoint a brand new CEO and I did and it is my canine.”
Clearly, Musk was joking and continues to be the man-in-charge of Twitter. He has been disdainful in the past about designations on Twitter. Even when he took over Twitter, he referred to himself as “leader tweet”.

New CEO through finish of 2023
In February 2023, Musk addressed the World Government Summit in Dubai and stated that he sought after to stabilize Twitter first. “I think I need to stabilize the organization and just make sure it’s in a financially healthy place and that the product roadmap is clearly laid out,” he stated.
He additional famous that through the top of 2023, Twitter can be in a solid place to be run through any individual else. “I’m guessing probably towards the end of this year should be good timing to find someone else to run the company because I think it should be in a stable position around the end of this year.”
