Elon Musk has offered to step down as “Head of Twitter” pending the results of a user poll Sunday.
“Should I step down as head of Twitter?” the Twitter CEO wrote alongside the poll that offered users a simple “yes” or “no.” “I will abide by the results of this poll,” he said, later warning, “as the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it.”
One hour after the poll was posted, dethroning Musk as Twitter boss led by a 15-point margin.
The poll comes just hours after Twitter announced a new policy prohibiting the “free promotion” of social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and Post, among others, which was heavily mocked by media figures and users alike.
It is worth mentioning that in November, Musk said, “I expect to reduce my time at Twitter and find somebody else to run Twitter over time.”
