Elon Musk just shot himself in the foot.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk launched one of his user polls on Sunday night, asking Twitter if he should resign as CEO, promising to abide by the results; “step down as head of Twitter?” Musk asked.
Unless Musk secretly wants out, the results didn’t break in his favor.
Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

From The New York Post:
Voting ended just before 6:20 a.m. ET — with 57.5% choosing for him to leave.
With more than 17.5 million voting in the online poll, that meant more than 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. But he’d earlier insisted that no one was lined up to replace him.
“No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor,” he tweeted after warning users to “be careful what you wish, as you might get it.”
“The question is not finding a CEO, the question is finding a CEO who can keep Twitter alive,” he also wrote ominously.
