In a post shared to Twitter today, Musk revealed that he has lined up his replacement.

At the time, Musk had not yet named the woman who will be taking on the role, however, one Twitter favorite has teased that she, herself, will step in after Musk. Singer Dionne Warwick revealed, seemingly as a joke, that she will be Twitter’s new CEO.
“I am excited to officially take on the role as CEO of Twitter,” said Warwick. “This has been in the works for months.”

Over the past few years, Warwick’s tweets have become a joy to users of the site, as she often expresses her thoughts on newer artists as she discovers them in real time.
However, she doesn’t seem to be much of a fan of Twitter, as she recently revealed she is now on a rival of the site, called Bluesky.
But don’t even think about asking her for an invitation to Bluesky.
Stop asking me for invite codes. I wouldn’t even know where to find one and I do not intend on trying.
