Will Elon Musk Step Down as Twitter CEO?

Is it possible that  Elon Musk is going to step down as the CEO of the company he just bought for $44 billion?

Following a chaotic six weeks in charge of the platform, Musk on Sunday night posted a poll asking his 122 million followers if he should “step down as the head of Twitter.” The Tesla CEO added that he would “abide by the results of this poll.”

While the vote was still on-going Musk tweeted: “As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it.”

The 12-hour poll closed at 6:20am on Monday morning with over 17.5 million Twitter users voting. The final result saw 57% of voters decide that Musk should step down.

The Twitter owner did not immediately comment on the poll’s outcome, but in tweets he made late on Sunday night, it does not appear as if there is a successor ready to step into the role.
