If Musk "steps down" as Twitter CEO, per his latest bogus "poll", some things to remember:

1) He'll still be in control. The owner sets the policy the CEO carries out. The owner decides in the end.

2) He lies incessantly. Nothing he says can be trusted, ever.

3) Big Journalism will breathlessly cover the charade as if it meant something, and will continue to support a man who loathes honest reporting and has contempt for genuine freedom of expression.

@dangillmor I trust him even less. There are 9 hours to go, enough for him to rig the vote. Anyway, I voted to keep him, I want him to go down with the ship full of crap he created.

Anyway, as you said either way he still owns it. Ultimately using Twitter is supporting him.

@gpowerf @dangillmor No doubt he is capable of rigging the vote, but most likely it would be done continuously, not as a vote dump late in the process. In other words, if it's rigged then it's rigged to give him an excuse to nominally step down.

@gpowerf @dangillmor ... Maybe those Tesla shareholders who are demanding Musk be removed as CEO might actually succeed if he doesn't return and fight them off.

@johnmalyonsciencejokes @dangillmor I'd love to see a new Tesla CEO.
