Twitter may soon be on the lookout for a new CEO as Elon Musk has just asked users in a poll if he should step down as the head of the company. After 17.5 million votes, the response showed that 57.5% of users wished for Musk to step down while 42.5% were happy with him as Twitter CEO.
While many of Musk’s recent actions have had adverse effects on Tesla’s stock, including his mass selling of shares — Musk recently sold $3.5 billion USD worth of tesla stock — the release of this poll sent Tesla stock up 5% after the result came through. With a track record of staying true to his poll results, Musk followed up with the cryptic Tweet, “As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it.”
Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.
