Taking the position himself would rob him of a layer of insulation from public opinion. He'll find himself another rubber stamp, if he can find someone who's sufficiently stupid, greedy, and/or desperate to take the job (and there always is someone). We should start a betting pool on how long that person is going to last before taking the fall for Musk.
I'm not desperate, but if Musk offered me CEO money I'd do it. That amount of money to not have to do any work (just rubber stamp and tell an idiot he's a genius)? Where do I sign up?
It's not like people blame Yaccarino for all the stuff that's been happening on X.
Why would he care? Who is going to do anything to him? Dude did Nazi salutes on stage, ain't shit happen but offense.
Could he just perhaps pull a reverse card and go un-crazy? Do something useful instead of just making everything worse?
