Are you a witch? Elon Musk is looking for you! KOT reacts


Twitter boss Elon Musk is looking for a new vice president for his new micro-blogging platform.

In a tweet on Sunday, Musk joked about hiring a new VP of Witchcraft & Propaganda related position on Twitter on Sunday.

In the sarcastic tweet, Musk claimed to be hiring for the position in a post that’s been viewed over 44 million times.

“Looking to hire a VP of Witchcraft & Propaganda,” Musk wrote in the tweet.

The Twitter owner did not further elaborate on his original tweet.

According to a Fox News report, Musk appeared to be referring to American actress Megan Fox, who recently joked about performing witchcraft outside the home of conservative commentator Robby Starbuck’s house.

Starbucks had criticised the way how Fox’s young sons were photographed with long hair and wearing feminine clothing, calling it child abuse.

Musk last month announced Linda Yaccarino as Twitter’s new Chief Executive Officer.

He said Yaccarino would “focus primarily on business operations”, while he would oversee product design and new technology.

Kenyans were not left out of the comments section and responded in a hilarious fashion.

Musk has been at the helm of the company as CEO since 2022, following the $44 billion acquisition.

Last month, Musk said that the company would remove accounts that have been inactive for several years.

The Twitter chief executive said on May 9, that the move was “important to free up abandoned handles”.

He also said that people might see a drop in the number of followers, as some inactive accounts might be removed.

In December 2022, Musk also tweeted that Twitter would “soon” start freeing up the namespace of 1.5 billion accounts, noting that inactive accounts would be deleted as part of the process.

In April it removed the old verified blue tick from the profiles of thousands of people, including celebrities, journalists and prominent politicians.
