Elon Musk will step down if poll results go against him

Twitter’s mercurial new boss may be out the door after less than two months on the job, if results of a Twitter poll go against him.

Elon Musk tweeted a poll Sunday evening asking people to vote on whether he should step down as Twitter’s CEO. Musk said he would abide by the poll’s results.

As of Sunday evening, “Yes” was winning by a margin of 58% to 42%.

In several follow-up tweets, Musk suggested that he was serious about leaving and made a vague threat about Twitter’s future if he is voted out.

“As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it,” Musk tweeted.

Since buying Twitter for $44 billion and taking over as CEO in late October, Musk has journeyed from one controversy to the next.
