Go, Elon Go, Twitter Users Vote Against CEO

Elon Musk seemed destined to quit running the affairs of Twitter Monday after around 10 million users voted for him to step down less than two months after he bought the microblogging platform for $44 billion.

The Tesla mogul had polled users late Sunday, asking if he should “step down as head of Twitter” and vowing to “abide by the results of this poll.”

The voting ended with 57.5% choosing for him to leave on Monday.

With nearly 17.4 million voting in the online poll, that meant nearly 10 million users wanted to see Twitter no longer be run by Musk, who is once again the world’s richest man.

    Musk did not immediately comment on the poll’s results.

    The PUNCH reports that since buying Twitter and taking over as the Chief Executive Officer in late October, the billionaire owner of Tesla has been involved in a series of controversies on the ‘blue app.’

    After buying the company for $44 billion from its former CEO, Jack Dorsey, Musk began to make some controversial changes to the company’s policy and personnel.

    He sacked several of Twitter’s top executives and half of the company’s staff immediately after becoming its CEO, and announced a stop to remote working for the remaining, lucky employees.
