Twitter’s mercurial new boss may be out the door after less than two months on the job, if results of a Twitter poll go against him. Elon Musk tweeted a poll Sunday evening asking people to vote on whether he should step down as Twitter’s CEO. Musk said he would abide by the poll’s results. As of Sunday evening, “Yes” was winning by a margin of 58% to 42%.
Since buying Twitter for $44 billion and taking over as CEO in late October, Musk has journeyed from one controversy to the next. A brief and incomplete recap: Meanwhile, brands have been removing their advertising from Twitter left and right. Musk has frequently stated that Twitter’s finances are dire. Replying to a tweet Sunday, in which MIT artificial intelligence researcher Lex Fridman said he would take the CEO job, Musk hinted he hasn’t been completely happy with his new gig.
Some boy's toys are just alot more expensive than other boys' toys
wow! I had no idea being CEO and BoD-level decision-making was as easy as initiating a Twitter poll
Step Down ASPA
Don’t step down…Just step away!
the people of Ukraine have the right to live in the world, so the president of Ukraine must be removed because of this man , the nation is in darkness today. boycottvlolodymyrzelenskyy
He's looking for a way out.
Couldn’t find the poll I guess he’s bored now and wants out
Elon out
Questioning Elon Musk’s motives asking Twitter users as to whether he should step down and abiding by results. As CEO his full/primary responsibility is making final decisions which could include manipulating results according to his wishes.
What a totally foreign concept to the standard US business model. A CEO who you would be hard pressed to commit suicide by climbing his ego and jumping to his IQ. I guess losers will have to find another way to end it all since death by Elon Musk ego is out the window.
A safe way to escape the trap. Won't have to decide himself ! nodoubt
Well I got my step-down vote in . And I hope the door hits him in the back side on the way out 🤣
Based on his disastrous time running Twitter, All I know is I would never trust this guy to go to Mars.
No we love him. Infact if musk brings an give a free cure for cancer you guys will still be dump an opposite
unlike all the people who have said here they are leaving twitter !!😉
Step down, go be CEO of Mars.
I didn't see anything where I could vote! Do you? Or is it just a selective group that gets to vote?
You know he's lying
🤣🤣
I’m the Superintendent of Building Administration and I started a similar poll on my position and I will definitely not abide by the results.
He should clear the mess he has created. He has ruined a company and ruined the career of so many people.
I think he should stay there so he can feel the pain and humiliation of his 44 $Billion mistake. Let him run twitter to the ground and be remembered for it.
Even if he step down ... he still call the shots from wherever.
Then please kick him out
Forget Twitter, how is Biden's war in Ukraine going 😂😂😂😂🤟✌️ Not too good from what I can see 🙈🙈🙈
No Elon should stay CEO. He is the only one who will stand up to the government.
Oh the new one will make libs head explode
Where can I participate?
I like this accurate reporting from CNN. Congrats!
All democrats are PEDOPHILES
Also know as, he already took the decision to step down he is just trying to pass it as 'claim of the people'.
Yea and he has a bridge to sell you too 😂
Of course he is stepping down. He is the owner of multiple companies. He is going to hire someone to run the App
Elon Musk yourself can create your own platform with all the materials you can use, you can set not-so-restrictive rules or more restrictions, and this is when there are no restrictions, it is there that mental patients enter to create habitual terrorism
He definitely should
Yes, he should step down and hire a new CEO who is sensible and should run the company like any other corporation. In the long run the company will be profitable for Musk
What he didn´t ask is should he put Donald Trump in his place in case he gets voted out. CNN would absolutely love that 🤣
He has moved from hanging out with engineers to hanging out with the elite 0.1% and they clearly have his ear.
Absurd.
It's a bad joke from Musk, he just wants to know his level of popularity and acceptance on Twitter
this is just a circus ain’t it
I call BS..
Yes, step down & get out.

Step down
Please step down...... we'll be watching.
You left out exposing media collusion to suppress speech--something called the Twitter files, which you portend do not exist. But you were so quick to jump on this one. What's the rush? Hoping for reverting to the status quo?
Obviously he’s looking for a way out (his plan all along) and is doing it this way to look admirable. What a hack
LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
hell yeah!
i hope he dont fix the results?!
He'll still be making the rules as owner. You think another Mgr. will say no to anything he wants to do? As owner, his requests(demands) overrule everyone else in the company. He needs to sell or the rest of us need to find another platform.
Yes yes yes
Progres wishes FKNN
To catch bots😂
Will CNN report any of the actual news that has been announced on Twitter recently?
It was his tactic to save face. I dare elonmusk to put a poll whether he should resign as Tesla CEO.
haha
I think he should stay. In time things will balance out. The bubble has to go. Free speech has to go both ways.If you cant understand that , then you understand nothing.
Biden and Harris should follow that rule.
That’s called manning up and taking responsibility unlike CNN , sad once such a reputable channel has gone down the swamp.
And how man bot accounts voted yes easiest way to flush them out make a post
🇺🇸 for the good of the company, let somebody else run it you own it
Absolutely Not
Except he will redo the poll if he doesn’t see a result he likes
Elon Musk lies
Yes he should. It made Twitter looks like one of Trump organizations managed by Trump.
Step down please
results he will no doubt manipulate like his other polls
He’s gonna track everyone that clicked against him
Should Musk step down?
No elonmusk. Maybe we reduce news and politics to three quarters paid to a dirty street stand with rust and an empty cup on it. That's their place. You and Zuck could end it all, and them. I for one just want to meet my nice clients on a site where we can feel safe from shocking
NO
you report this but not about the twitter files?
He also said be careful what you wish for you just might get it.
He perhaps has NEW business interests?!! 🤔🤔 A picture that speaks louder than words!
Vote him.out
How yall on this so fast, but nothing on the twitterfiles ?
Don’t believe the poll its full of Elon voting votes
Jared kushner will replaced him. So be careful what you wish for
Yes
Yeah, just like the poll that said Trump could come back!
Oh, look at that! CNN is still on Twitter! Who knew?
Deploy the bots!
The fact that he’s deciding these issues by poll gives most sane people the answer already.
Elon should not step down
Clever strategy that gives himself top cover to eject on twitter by “following the will of the people.”
OUT
Much like CNN has asked many of their employees to step down... lowratingscommunists
Um, don't know about Musk, but whoever is CEO at CNN should most definitely be on the unemployment line.
Yes! Go away!

BS....even if 99% wants him gone....he spent 44 billion and he loves the power to quit!
Don’t step down Elon!! You are sitting on a gold mine if you can simply show you love America and our precious democracy!! It’s so easy!!!
It's a trap.gif
I know you’re excited CNN
Yes. Mr. Musk should also be deported as well if he has no US citizenship.
This guy is full of self importance. Yes, Elon Musk you should resign as CEO of Twitter
Report on this but totally hush on the twitterfiles
Imagine being a billionaire CEO and putting the faith of the company you just paid 40 billion for in the hands of a twitter poll 💀
Yes!!!! But it will only help if he takes his gun loving hail the leader peeps with him
He probably did that so he can disable dissenters
This poll was a bot-bait. He just created a list of wokeists & bots. Elon Musk has access to Twitter servers, so he knows, how you voted.
He’s stepping down regardless; those Tesla shareholders are not playing with him
I'm officially done w/CNN, first trump nonstop now Musk sneezes and its front page every 2 min
CNN always late to the party.
No he won’t!
I want my pre-ElonMusk Twitter back! If that is possible. If Mr Musk will allow this, it doesn't matter to me who runs the day to day. HealTwitter‼️
Yes. Go away, Elon.
Don't step down doing just fine, Keep him there !
He will still own the company either way
Get to steppin’
If he was truly libertarian he would allow us to choose his successor.
His replacement should be interesting. I hear Candice Owens is a candidate.
Can we do AdamSchiff next ?
Everyone that says yes won’t have a Twitter account tomorrow.
Its part of a plan…..stay tuned 😏….the left is about to get even more pissed off 😂
He's not going to. He doesn't say when, he says he will, and that's obvious. Another tweeter said, it's too soon for that and I agree 💯
I voted twice
Familiar strategy ....
Be careful what you wish for
YESSSS YESSSS and YESSSS
