        I’m sorry, they’re taking credit for UPS drivers getting AC and Brittney Griner getting released from a Russian Prison? What nonsense.

          Hey, the petition to remove EM is 9 months old and he is no longer CEO…so, those half dozen signatures are another success for change.org!!!..

                I understand that was a sarcasm, but I’m still unhappy that Elon still owns the company and ruining Twitter while people trying hard to stop him.

                  Honestly, I think there is nothing that can be done now. He owns the place and it will only get worse. I know it sucks as twitter was a great resource for many people but those days are gone forever.

                  He has such an inflated ego I believe he would rather burn it to the ground than cut his losses, sell it and move on.

              A petition to remove Elon from Twitter is not like that. It’s an important petition to save the world’s most useful social networking service. Also, you should stop thinking that Change.org is a bad website (while we see some stupid nonsense petitions).

                He’s not the CEO of Twitter anymore. The petition had nothing to do with that and it now has no purpose.

                  But he still owns it and has control over the company as chairman and has made many bad changes to Twitter. Maybe the petition should be repurposed to remove him from Twitter completely.

    He owns the cesspit.

    He is not going anywhere.

    This change.org petition remind me of my grandfathers saying about wishing for something:

    Wish in one hand, shit in the other and see which one gets full first.

    edit: This petition has received 6 signatures in 9 months…

      I don’t think these anti-Musk petitions are for avoiding Mastodon; it could be done along with using Mastodon.

    Since June 5, the ceo of twitter has been Linda Yaccarino. So, mission accomplished?

    I can only assume this is a glass cliff maneuver from musk

      Not yet. The company is still under Musk’s control because he owns it, and he’s also chairman. Also, the person who launched the petition may not be aware of this.

        How exactly do you plan to do that? You got a spare $40 billion and the ability to coerce him to sell?

    Honestly, no. Leave him there. It’s what society needs. Maybe it’ll finally go under.
