I don’t know, and this is all pure conjecture, but I found the difference between the reinstate trump poll and the new ceo poll to be interesting.

Coupled with the rumors of him getting spanked by his Saudi Investors at the World Cup just a day before the poll, it felt like he had to go and was just trying to save face.

He played the exact same game when he did a poll about selling stock and paying taxes on it a couple years ago when he was really just trying to prevent a sell off while he cashed out.

He did say in Nov (iirc) publicly he was planning the hand off, I thought he was going that route myself, but this report reminded me that after going quiet he said “maybe we might still have an itsy bitsy bot problem on Twitter.”, I'm just not getting it was a war of bot armies, but pure wild ass guessing on my part as well.
