The BTS leader has the most honest reaction to Elon Musk wanting them to be Twitter’s co-CEOs
Twitter’s CEO Elon Musk recently held a public poll asking Twitter users if he should step down as the CEO of the bird app, to which most users replied saying yes.
Musk shot back, replying that he would step down if he found someone “foolish” enough to take responsibility. While many celebrities joked that they would love to take responsibility, DJ Swivel, who co-wrote Jung Kook’s Euphoria, proposed that BTS could be co-CEOs alongside Elon Musk.
The multi-millionaire CEO immediately responded to the proposal with a “Great idea.”
BTS’ leader wasted no time in reacting to this proposal. He took to his personal Instagram, and shared a screenshot of the Twitter exchange, simply adding some “laughing emojis” to it. ARMYs are convinced that the Indigo singer is lurking on Twitter or has a secret informant to supply him with information.
