Elon Musk could be stepping down as Twitter CEO soon.
Just two months after the Tesla mogul bought the social media site for a whopping $44 billion in October, Musk launched a poll to see if people wanted him gone.
He wrote: “Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.”
Over 17.5 million votes were cast, with 57.5 percent of people voting “yes.”
Musk then shared an update on Tuesday, writing: “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams.”
