Will Resign As Soon As I...: Elon Musk After People Voted For Him To Resign In Twitter Poll
Elon Musk tweeted that he will step down as the CEO of the social media giant.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced that he will resign from his post as soon as he finds someone "foolish enough to take the job". His comments came after people voted in favour of his resignation in a Twitter poll he earlier posted.
He added that he will just run the software and servers teams after quitting.
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.

In the poll, Musk asked, "Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll." Around 57.5 percent people voted in favour of his resignation from the top post in Twitter.
Earlier on Monday, Twitter CEO Elon Musk asked users via an online poll to decide whether or not he should stay in charge of the social media platform as he acknowledged making a mistake in launching severe speech restrictions with a bid to ban mentions of rival social media websites. At the time of writing, the poll appears to be wrapped up, with over 17.5 million users putting in their votes, with a majority of 57.5 percent leaning towards "Yes". Musk did say that he'd abide by the results of the poll, so it remains to be seen what Musk does next.
In a drastic policy change, Twitter announced that users will be “prohibited” to share post links to Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, and other platforms.
The move generated a lot of immediate backlash leading to Twitter’s new billionaire owner Musk promising not to make any more major policy changes without an online survey of users.
“My apologies. Won’t happen again,” Musk tweeted, before initiating a new 12-hour poll asking if he should step down as head of Twitter. “I will abide by the results of this poll.”
