#USA, December 26, 2022 – Less than two months after taking the reins Elon Musk, Twitter; Space X and Tesla CEO has been found wanting by Twitter users who have voted for him to resign.  A C informal vote was administered by the CEO himself via the apps ‘Poll’ feature.

On Sunday December 18th the CEO invited users to share their opinion promising to abide by the results.

Some 17.5 million Twitter users from all across the globe voted in the poll which was open to everyone.  Of that total, 57 per cent or nearly 10 million favored him stepping down.  Twitter poll results are tricky to verify.  One person with four accounts could vote as four different users and bots can also vote.

Regardless on Tuesday Musk said “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams.”

The Tesla owner and former richest man alive acquired Twitter for $40 billion in October ending a fight with the company in court that began after he tried to pull out of the deal.

Massive staff cuts were made at the company including the CEO Parag Agrawal who Musk then replaced with himself.

Whether Musk is actively looking for that successor and will ever find one up to his standards is up in the air.

CNBC though, says sources close to the matter told them Musk was actively looking for a replacement.
