Dionne Warwick shares her thoughts on Elon Musk’s latest move as the owner of Twitter.
The business magnate and investor acquired Twitter for $44 billion in 2022. However, Musk’s acquisition led to a mass flight of many celebrities from the social media platform. Things are made worse by the $8 monthly fee to verify blue checks.
However, Tesla’s CEO has made another important move that has people wagging their tongues, including the “Heartbreaker” singer.

“Excited to announce that I have a new CEO for X/Twitter,” Musk said in a tweet. “He’s starting in ~six weeks! I will transition to executive chairman & CTO, overseeing product, software & sysop.”
Fans may remember that on December 18, SpaceX’s CEO and chief engineer used his own Twitter account to conduct a poll, asking users if he should step down as head of the company. Unfortunately, the majority of voters (57.5 percent) ended up favoring his resignation.
Musk immediately agreed that he would follow the will of the majority. However, he soon countered the suggestion saying he would only submit “as soon as I find someone stupid enough to take the job!” This prompted many to slam him, suggesting that he knew buying the social media platform was a problem in the first place.
Finally, in February, the tech guru bowed to the pressure of many of the platform’s users and announced he would be looking for a replacement before the end of the year.
Compared to previous changes to the app, hiring a female CEO is likely the best decision Musk has made at Twitter since taking over. The founder of “X.com”, since taking over, has faced criticism for a series of policy changes on Twitter, which often come without a clear reason and cause concern among users,
According to reports, many advertisers are fleeing the platform due to concerns about hateful behavior, mass layoffs or questions about the company’s future. At the same time, he has pushed to sell consumers on a new paid subscription model favoring only verified subscribers and removing blue checks from celebrities and high-profile figures in moves that have since backfired.

My role will transition to executive chairman & CTO, overseeing product, software & sysop.
