Musk's Twitter poll says he should step down from social network's helm
Source: Washington Post
SAN FRANCISCO — Elon Musk’s own Twitter poll results say he should step down from the helm of the social network, in a referendum that Musk promised to follow after broad criticism of his stewardship of the company.
The poll closed early Monday morning after twelve hours of voting, with 57.5% of more than 17 million responses calling Musk to step down. He later added, “As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it.”
If Musk follows the results of the poll, it could thrust the company into even more uncertainty. Musk will remain owner of the social network, which would still give him enormous control over its policies. But he has not yet said who he would choose as his successor, and that person could steer the company differently, and perhaps less erratically, than Musk has for the past two months.
The billionaire and self-dubbed “Chief Twit” purchased the company for $44 billion in October and made himself chief executive. Since then, it has become a frequent subject of his tweets, and employees have said he’s been a regular presence at the company’s San Francisco headquarters.

The poll closed early Monday morning after twelve hours of voting, with 57.5% of more than 17 million responses calling Musk to step down. He said he would abide by the results, later adding "As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it."

But that has raised concerns among investors -- particularly in Tesla -- that the entrepreneur is stretched too thin. Some have questioned his effectiveness as CEO of two large technology companies, wondering whether he can effectively serve in both roles at once in addition to head of the rocket company SpaceX.

... "stretched too thin"? Why would Telsa see having Musk around more as a positive move?
so that twitter would be destroyed....
His Qatari and Saudi investors have told him to step down and get a real CEO to run Twitter.
This "poll" is just to provide the illusion of choice.
It's his "reality show" to compete with his "buddy" 45's own nightmarish "reality show". 
These narcissists are people who crave attention and it doesn't matter whether it is positive or negative.
