With the Elon Musk stewardship of Twitter looking more and more like the Trump presidency, people are just getting fed up with all the nonsense. With 17 million votes cast, a solid majority wants him to step aside. It remains to be seen if that will happen though, as Musk later tweeted,” “No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor.”
And there’s also the small fact that with Musk owning 100% of Twitter any replacement would be a glorified figurehead anyway.

About 17.5 million Twitter votes were cast in favor of Elon Musk stepping down from the company, Musk’s Twitter account said Monday, a day after he posed the question to users of the social media platform.
Musk has been running Twitter for 53 days, during which time he’s laid off a large percentage of the company’s workforce and drawn criticism recently for suspending the accounts of four journalists and then reinstating them.
Additionally, on Sunday, Twitter announced it would ban accounts that post links or usernames for certain “prohibited” third-party social media platforms, only to seemingly rescind the rule about 12 hours later after it stirred more controversy.
Musk then Musk posted a poll asking whether he should resign as CEO and said he would “abide by the results.” The final poll showed that nearly more than 57% of voters wanted him to leave his position.
“As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it,” Musk tweeted, adding that “No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor.”
