Usually, CEO contracts have a clause that the person will devote substantially all of their work time to the business. Not spending time on side projects.
I think he only posts polls when he believes he knows the outcome already. Yesterday he posted a poll about unsuspending the journalist accounts and when the outcome wasn't what he wanted instead of following the majority vote he posted it again with different options (with the same result, which he did abide by the second time). I think this indicates he's tired of Twitter already. But he still owns it, so who will…
I thought Jason Calacanis was going to run it. He'd be much better.... also the type to not put up with crap - and not the type either to "run by committee".
Elon Musk posted "Vox Populi, Vox Dei" on 19 Oct and 19 Nov. Today is 19 Dec, and in 12 hours he'll post again that the people have spoken. He's playing some sort of game. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1582778449583693836 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1593769469741932544
Now that the poll is leaning toward "yes", Elon is adding conditions, namely, you have to invest your life savings. Lex Fridman volunteered to do it for free, and Elon replied: > One catch: you have to invest your life savings in Twitter and it has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy since May. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604626103326253056
> No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604628761395138561?s=46...

It does seem so, and hilariously, it appears to be backfiring. "As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it" https://notabird.site/elonmusk/status/1604623424164282368

Last month he implied he was looking for a successor: https://www.axios.com/2022/11/16/elon-musk-twitter-ceo-new-l... Although I'm not sure who would want to run Twitter now.

I don't even think he's doing it on purpose, I think he's completely in over his head. Someone referred to Elon as "speedrunning being a forum moderator", or "running a Lowtax" and yeah, so far.
The main difference between Musk and Lowtax is that Lowtax actually built something rather than buying it.

Everyone with expertise in social media hates Elon's high-level vision.
Most self-proclaimed "experts in social media" seem to be responsible for making it the disaster that it is for our societies. The one thing that has definitely been refreshing about new Twitter is that the leader isn't yet another "social media expert" and just another social media user with similar complaints as millions of other users. Personally I really hope they also get rid of the "UX experts" next, given how…
