Twitter boss Elon Musk has announced that he has picked a new CEO to run his social media company.
With the move, Musk appears to be also taking a subtle swipe at his critics in the process.
Musk said:
“Excited to announce that I’ve hired a new CEO for X/Twitter.
“She will be starting in ~6 weeks!
“My role will transition to being exec chair & CTO, overseeing product, software & sysops.”

It will be hard for AOC, Rachel Maddow, and other anti-First Amendment leftists to trash a woman-run tech company as there are so few.
Hollywood veteran James Woods echoed the fears of many by predicting that the Left will ramp up attacks against Twitter as the critical 2024 draws near.
Woods complimented Musk on getting Tucker Carlson to launch his show on Twitter instead of cable:
“Elon Musk has a business sense unmatched in the modern era.
“He has rebirthed liberal swamp Twitter as the planet’s free speech town hall.
“Getting Tucker Carlson may be the turning point.
“It’s possible all the corporate media and their parade of liberal fluffers are finally dead.”

However, Woods also warned Musk and his new CEO that the Left will try to crack down on Twitter’s free speech agenda as the election heats up.
Woods said:
“A year and a half before the election and I predict the left will do everything in its power to cripple Twitter, legally or otherwise.
“They will try legislation, executive order, deplatforming, internet malfunction, lawsuits, anything to silence free speech on America’s Forum.”
Musk also announced that Twitter will now encrypt direct messages so that even if someone had a gun to Musk’s head he couldn’t read them.
“With latest version of app, you can DM reply to any message in the thread (not just most recent) and use any emoji reaction.
“Release of encrypted DMs V1.0 should happen tomorrow.
“This will grow in sophistication rapidly.
“The acid test is that I could not see your DMs even if there was a gun to my head.
“Coming soon will be voice and video chat from your handle to anyone on this platform, so you can talk to people anywhere in the world without giving them your phone number.
“Early version of encrypted direct messages just launched.
“Try it, but don’t trust it yet.”
