The owner of
, the magnate
Elon Musk
, assured this Wednesday that he hopes to find a
new executive director
of that social network by the end of this year.
Last December, he had announced that he will step down from his position only when someone replaces him.
"I guess probably towards the end of this year it will be a good time to
find someone else to run the company
," he said in a video call that took place on the last day of the World Summit of Governments in Dubai.
During the more than 30 minutes that he led the conversation, he maintained that he needs to "stabilize the organization" and ensure that Twitter is in a "healthy financial situation" as well as that "the product roadmap is clearly laid out." .
Last December, Musk, who is the sole owner of Twitter, said that he will step down as CEO when he finds a replacement, after which he
will only lead the software and server management teams

Since Musk acquired Twitter last year and announced changes to the social network, several United Nations officials have raised concerns that the new direction could weaken the fight against fake news and hate speech.
In the final part of his speech at the Dubai event, he referred to artificial intelligence: "It is something that
has to worry us a lot
. Chat GPT has shown people how advanced Artificial Intelligence is."
Elon Musk kicked out Twitter engineer who told him his popularity was falling
What Elon Musk likes is that people talk about him and not go unnoticed, in short, be the center of attention, and his actions are consistent with his wishes.
In the last week, he fired one of the top engineers on the platform, because he informed him that his popularity was declining
on his own social network.
This was advanced by
Platformer
, a technological site with great infiltration into the inner life of Twitter and which has the best
intramural information of this company.

The “you are fired” occurred live and direct, in the course of a meeting that Elon Musk called on Tuesday with his team of engineers.
The issue at hand was addressing the
number of views
of his tweets
from him, in a deep downward spiral in recent months, which, for the owner, was absolutely impossible.
This concern about how many people saw his tweets had already been expressed by the self-proclaimed "
chief tweeter
" in previous days.
The company's chief executive
made his account private
last week for a day to test whether that could increase his audience size.
The experiment came after several prominent right-wing users complained that recent changes to Twitter had reduced the
impact
of their accounts.
