Musk’s Poll Reveals 57.5% Twitter Users Want Him To Step Down

Elon Musk’s Monday Poll seeking opinion on whether he should stay on as Twitter’s CEO has revealed that users of the platform want him to step down.

In the poll, 57.5 per cent of Twitter users voted “Yes”, while 42.5 per cent said “No” to Musk stepping down as the social media platform’s chief. More than 17.5 million users participated in the poll.

While beginning the poll, the business tycoon had said he would abide by the results of the poll. But he did not elaborate on the timeline for stepping down.

Under the leadership of Musk, Twitter has taken some questionable decisions in recent times including barring journalists on the platform. The move raised many eyebrows as majority questioned Musk’s willingness to back his claims on wanting Twitter to be a platform that supports ‘Free Speech’.

The Twitter CEO has been pushing for high-impact reforms to turn the platform profitable. Moreover, he has also been reporting record-breaking numbers when it came to tweets but remains skeptical on how the social media platform could continue existing on the long run.

“The question is not finding a CEO, the question is finding a CEO who can keep Twitter alive,” Musk tweeted replying to a Twitter user.

Elon Musk runs four other high-value companies including SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and The Boring Company. Tesla investors, especially, have been on the edge of their seats ever since the maverick leader took on the mantle of CEO at Twitter.

Musk has sold USD 15 billion worth Tesla shares between April and August this year. He further offloaded USD 8 billion of shares in recent weeks. This has only fanned the embers of concerns on Musk not paying as much attention to Tesla lately.

Tesla shares were up by about 5 per cent in premarket trading.
