Elon Musk says he'll step down as Twitter CEO, but won't sell the company

Elon Musk has said that he will step down as CEO of Twitter once a suitable replacement can be found. On Sunday he ran a poll asking if he should step down, and the Twitter using public overwhelmingly told him to go. He didn't immediately respond to the results of the poll, but by Tuesday he seemed to have accepted the will of the people, after originally suggesting that he might instead change it so that only paying users could vote in Twitter polls.

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.All products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.

the sounds of crying coming from the engadget office.

On a real level I'm glad we almost gave him a chance troll world

So he is actually saying he is a “fool” ? 🤔

Won't or can't?

Set the bar low? The writer must be a huge fan of SLS too!

He says a lot of things

who said he was selling? 😂 just horrible click bait these days

But...but... I thought he was saying it was laughable less than a day ago he was looking for a new ceo? I'm shocked, SHOCKED I say, that he's full of shit on this... too.

Did anyone think he was going to stay the CEO? The guy is busy.

Duh

He'll eventually step down, lose his position as CEO of Tesla, AND eventually sell Twitter. Add on the multi-divorces and kid(s) that hate his, and dude will be lucky to even be alive; although therapy will be necessary. He wanted to F around and will find out. $TSLAQ $TWTRQ

Just like his previous posts, he's already made the decision and uses the poll to seem like a man of the people. Sometime tells me Saudi told him during World Cup to get back to work $tesla , looks like Jared might have also. He looked so mad at WC with them.

You heard it here first, folks

At least not until he brings in the brilliant minds to fix the bugs, bring in big advertising and they will be the ones making Twitter &, then he'll sell. Same Ole playbook. Now ? is, how low is he gonna let Tesla go before he buys?

Can't sell the company.

Sell it! Who would buy it? It’s worthless

Who thought he would sell it? There's no reason to sell it. Step down, he said he would so I'd hold them to that.
