After tweets to the masses in which he falsely claimed to have been named Twitter’s interim CEO, crypto executive Stani Kulechov found his account suspended by the social media giant. But less than 24 hours later, Twitter reversed its suspension and he’s back to talking about his faux appointment.

Kulechov, the chief executive of the decentralized finance platform Aave, tweeted on April 26 that he would be joining Twitter as interim CEO. The next day, he thanked Elon Musk for the opportunity and laid out a 90-day roadmap for the world’s richest man to follow as he orchestrates a $44 billion takeover of the company.
