SAN FRANCISCO: Elon Musk has refused to hire former T-Mobile CEO and President John Legere as the Twitter CEO, after the latter offered to run daily affairs at the micro-blogging platform.
Legere is known to successfully reboot the culture at T-Mobile.
"Hi @elonmusk, maybe I should run @Twitter. You can stop managing daily business, and 'content moderation' and then support product/technology, let someone else 'run' @Twitter, " Legere tweeted late on Sunday.
"I'm expensive but so is what you paid for Twitter (please be leadership example of how to tweet), " he added.
Musk firmly replied in one word: "No."
Legere previously worked for AT&T, Dell, Global Crossing, and is on the CTIA board of directors.
He resigned as CEO following the approval of the merger of T-Mobile and Sprint.
Meanwhile, Twitter under Musk has courted several controversies in the last 10-12 days, like growth of fake verified accounts and several flip-flop on product enhancement front.
