Twitter is a tech company. Would you feel like the CEO of a tech company if you weren't overseeing the tech and software? Will Musk answer or defer to the CEO with regard to product decisions? I suspect not... I think the idea that people had, especially Tesla stockholders, is that Musk would kind of step back from Twitter and re-focus on Tesla.

I don't know, I'm not really sure how many subscriptions they've sold. If you listen to his detractors, it's barely anything. If you listen to him directly, it saved Twitter. If the numbers are disappointing but significant, it might make sense to mothball tech and product. Basically treat it as a dying MMO. Long term this is not a winning strategy, but it might be the best way to minimize losses.
