Elon Musk to Resign as Twitter CEO after Defeat in His Own Poll

Editor/

Elon Musk will resign as Twitter CEO after being defeated in his own poll.

He confirmed yesterday night that he would resign from the role he took on during his $44billion takeover – once he finds someone “foolish enough” to replace him.

The billionaire tweeted, “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 result of his poll was confirmed on Monday morning, with a total of 57.5 percent of more than 17 million accounts voting for him to step down from his position. This means 42.5 percent voted in favor of him staying on as head of the website – the equivalent of nearly 7.5 million users. 

After setting the poll live, Musk warned, “As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it.”
