American writer Bess Kalb recently took to Twitter to share a parody thread mocking Elon Musk and claiming she had been appointed as the new CEO of Twitter.
The thread comes after Musk conducted a poll asking if he should resign from his position as the “Chief Twit.” Nearly 58% Twitter users voted that the Tesla CEO should quit his role.
Shortly after that, Musk announced that he should resign from the job as soon as he “finds someone foolish enough to take the job!” In response to the announcement, Kalb posted her thread to lampoon Musk and jokingly thanked him for “taking a chance” on her.
The writer said that she was “humbled, honored, and frankly still in shock” to be appointed the new Twitter CEO. Kalb continued to take a jibe at Musk’s actions and wrote that the billionaire has always been at the “forefront.”
She continued to mock the Space X founder and said that he is “much more than the apartheid profiteer heir of an emerald mine owner who openly hates him.” Kalb also claimed that Musk is man whose “only friend” currently is Jared Kushner.
The writer further joked that Musk is capable of going to Mars with his “level of know-how and unimpeachable foresight.”
Bess Kalb has also accused Musk of having children in a “laboratory setting,” getting facelifts, and showing up at the Met Gala each year despite going against some “media elites”:
Kalb also shared that Elon Musk made more than $68,000 from Twitter Blue and sarcastically thanked him for the “smart and lucrative idea." She then wished him the best for his future projects.
She also jokingly thanked Twitter users for their support towards her and said that her first day as the CEO was going “great.” Kalb also joked that she will be using a poll to make her hires at Twitter in line with Musk’s “good and sensical method”:
Bess Kalb also tagged Elon Musk on her thread, which immediately went viral on social media.
