Elon Musk Offers to Step Down as Twitter CEO in New Poll

Elon Musk appears to have heard all of the Twitter criticism loud and clear — which is why he is leaving his place on the firm within the fingers of the individuals … fairly actually.

The Chief Twit took to his favourite platform Sunday, and began off by apologizing for what feels like Twitter’s no-more-personal-promotion coverage … by which they will ban anybody who plugs different social media profiles of theirs on Twitter.

He wrote, “Going ahead, there will probably be a vote for main coverage modifications. My apologies. Won’t occur once more.” After that, he posed a query and fascinating proposition, asking … “Should I step down as head of Twitter? I’ll abide by the outcomes of this ballot.”

It’s a easy Yes/No ballot, and as of this writing … almost 6 million individuals have weighed in, with about 58% in favor of Yes, and 42% saying No. There’s nonetheless about 10 hours left to vote.
