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.

Numerous prominent names part of the crypto industry shared their stance on Musk’s eventual departure. Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin said he “respects” the idea of abiding by the people’s will, while Binance’s Changpeng Zhao wished Musk could “stay the course.”
The boss of Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX is known as a keen supporter of Dogecoin, teasing incoming DOGE payments on the social media platform. The memecoin saw a significant price increase shortly before Musk acquired Twitter.
However, the news of his eventual stepping down as CEO negatively affected the coin, dropping by 2%. The asset is down nearly 20% weekly, currently hovering around $0.073.
Musk’s Reforms
The billionaire entered Twitter’s headquarters at the end of October with an actual sink in his hands, demonstrating that the two parties finalized the $44 billion deal.
From that moment on, he started implementing significant changes, such as firing multiple executives and vowing to establish Twitter as a free speech hub.
Musk also revealed plans to cope with the bots on the platform by forcing users to pay a monthly subscription service fee ranging between $4.99 to $19.99, so they can verify their identity.
Subsequently, the South African insisted that Twitter employees sign up for “long hours at high intensity” or leave. Many staff members resigned from their posts shortly after.
