More than 57% of those responding to Elon Musk's Twitter poll say he should step down as CEO of the social media giant.
Musk, who bought the San Francisco company for $44 billion in October, posed the question Sunday in a 12-hour poll that ended Monday morning. The unscientific poll received more than 17 million responses. Musk had said he would abide by the results, but there's been no indication yet that he will. The CEO, now the world's second-richest man, was photographed in Qatar for the FIFA World Cup Final on Sunday.
In any event, it's unlikely he would have gone through the exercise — just the latest in a growing list of erratic moves — had he not already intended to tap someone else to run the company.The poll capped another week in which Musk made abrupt and controversial moves, including banning several journalists from the platform after they wrote about an account that tracked his private jet and prohibiting users from promoting other social media platforms.
In addition to Twitter, Musk also is CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and is the founder of Neuralink. Tesla shares have fallen as Musk has spent more time running Twitter since he took the company private and fired the CEO and other top executives.
