Elon Musk, on Thursday, said that he has hired a new Chief Executive Officer to replace him as the Twitter boss and its newly named X Corporation parent.

He revealed this on his official Twitter handle on Thursday night, adding that the new CEO would resume in about six weeks.

“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,’ he tweeted.

Users of the platform had in December 2022 voted to oust owner Musk as the CEO in an unscientific poll he organised and promised to honour, just weeks after he took charge of the social media giant.

Also, some Twitter users exited the platform, following the subscription for verification badge introduced by Musk.
