Elon Musk may be about to step down as Twitter CEO. And the question isn’t that the “yes” option in his new poll will win, but that the decision was probably made a long time ago.

what is known

Overnight, the billionaire tweeted that voted for his followers asking if he would step down as CEO. There are only two answer options: “yes” and “no”. It also promised to stick to the results.

At the time of this writing, the “yes” option is leading with more than 57 percent of results.

However, it is worth remembering that such surveys are in the example of Musk. they are usually announcements rather than users’ desire to know their opinion..

• He used to ask if I should buy a tweeter, then it turned out he already had it.
• After asking his followers about it in November 2021, Tesla sold 10 percent of its stock, and many said it was the right thing to do. He wrote at the time: “However it goes, I will stick to the results of this survey.” However, The Wall Street Journal reporters learned that it decided to sell the shares back in September. As such, the published vote played no role and was a formality.

Elon Musk could have already decided on his dismissal and, knowing very well what the reaction of the audience will be, he published another official poll that will not affect anything. The thing is, some time after the entrepreneur bought Twitter, He declared that he does not want to be at the head of the social network. He will only need to be at the helm of the company during the transition period.stabilize it and steer it in the direction it needs. But later, as Reuters wrote, Musk planned to find a replacement. There were several such statements, the last of which was made in November 2022.
