Indian-American MIT scholar applies for Twitter CEO post

New Delhi: Indian-American V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai, who “invented email” when he was just 14, has expressed interest in taking up the position of Twitter CEO after Elon Musk said that he wishes to step down from the post.
Mumbai-born Ayyadurai, 59, who holds four degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), including a PhD in biological engineering, took to his twitter to apply for the position.
“I am interested in the CEO position @Twitter. I have 4 degrees from MIT & have created 7 successful high-tech software companies. Kindly advise of the process to apply,” Ayyadurai wrote in a tweet addressed to Musk.
Ayyadurai’s tweet gained attention, with many users coming up with responses ranging from encouraging to sarcastic.
“I’ve observed that degrees is one of the last thing @elonmusk looks at when hiring (sic). (Though you’re education creds are indeed formidable.),” Greg Autry, a Twitter user wrote in response to Ayyadurai’s Tweet.
“Best of luck to you. I’d expect your application to be rejected because you mention your education,” another Twitter user wrote in response.
