– Should I resign as head of Twitter, asks Musk a voting post on Twitter. Users can simply answer yes or no.
In less than an hour, about 3.6 million people had voted, including 58% for him to resign. Musk has yet to say how the company will be run and what his role will be if he “loses” the vote.
– Be careful what you wish for, you might end up getting it, written Musk further. When a user comments that he thinks Musk already has a new CEO ready and wants to be president instead and tweets, Musk replies:
– There’s no one who wants the job, who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no heir.
He’s taken both Twitter and Musk – the world’s richest man – by storm since he bought social media for $44 billion. A number of employees have been made redundant. Musk himself partly ran the business in detail, and recently several journalists were locked out. According to Musk, it was temporary and because they broke rules about sharing other people’s whereabouts.
Many threatened to quit Twitter after Musk took office, and several of them took the threats seriously. When on Sunday it was also banned from linking to a number of other social media outlets – especially competing services – it was the last straw for many.
