Shaquille O’Neal is one of the biggest, most dominant basketball players of all time, but the $400 million worth man is also as big a businessman.

Being an early investor in some of the giant MNCs like Google, he is also considered one of the smartest athletes turned investors.
From chains of restaurants, fitness centers, Papa John’s, and Krispy Kreme(s) to car washes across the country. That man owns those chains and with the properties (around 200) they are all standing at.
So, he gets to have a say when the riches of the States talk. And one of the richest, most busy people speaking with everybody in the world is Elon Musk, who recently decided to step down as Twitter’s CEO, following a poll conducted by himself.

O’Neal had his say recently on whether he’d like to take over as the Chief Executive Officer of the $13 Billion worth company.
Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t want Twitter
In a recent episode of the Big Podcast With Shaq, Nichelle Turner and Spice Adams brought up the hot topic and asked the 4x NBA champ if he would like to take over Twitter.
“No, I would not,” answered O’Neal and immediately went on to explain himself. “We live in a world where it’s too many indecisive, opinionated, wrongly opinionated, and narcissistical earthlings. I like to deal with the little planet that I live in. Planet of respect, even if you have a little argument as long as the respect is there, it doesn’t matter”.
Why would any sane person, qualified enough to be a CEO of Twitter, would want to take that job? Even Musk himself sent the warning out loud when he said he’ll step down when he finds someone “foolish enough” to take that job.
Will Shaq do a better job than Elon Musk?
As bad as it was for anybody who wasn’t politically and morally ‘left’, Twitter has become a hellhole for everyone, but most of all, for the employees of this social media giant.
Since Musk took over Twitter, he fired over 3,700 employees from top to bottom including the CEO, CFO, and Head of Legal Policy, Trust, and Safety. Now, that he has fired himself from the CEO’s post within 2 months of the first change, it’s clear he had no proper plan to implement his “free speech” ideology.
Dr. Shaquille O’Neal might be a Ph.D., but is certainly not the ideal candidate for this job. In fact, nobody is. As the world itself is finding it tough to stick to ‘democracy’ and ‘free speech, how can a social media platform run by the same human beings and ideologists, will bring it to life?
