Emmy-nominated comedy writer Bess Kalb on Thursday thanked Tesla founder Elon Musk for taking
a chance on her as she announced herself as the new CEO of Twitter. In a series of tweets, Kalb said that she was ‘humbled, honored, and frankly still in shock to be the new CEO of Twitter.”
Kalb wrote, “Can finally announce: I am humbled, honored, and frankly still in shock to be the new CEO of @twitter. Though we haven’t always seen eye to eye (Edgelord memes! Verification fiasco! The “sink” joke being the full extent of his business plan!) I am thrilled @elonmusk took a chance.”
She added, “Whether he has failed to rescue people from a cave and then called the actual rescuer a pedophile, sent CPAP machines to hospitals instead of direly needed ventilators, or spent $44 billion to ruin his reputation and legacy, @elonmusk has always been on the forefront of.”
Musk recently announced that he would resign as Twitter CEO after a poll on the microblogging site revealed that the majority of respondents wanted him to leave. The eccentric billionaire businessman has yet to respond to Kalb’s outrageous claims.
Given that her profile does not explicitly state that she was on the platform to share satirical posts, it remains to be seen whether Twitter will take punitive action against her for making false claims.
