Elon Musk, the billionaire founder Tesla Inc., is seeking the opinion of twitter user on his continued stay as the chief executive officer (CEO) of the micro blogging site.
To this end, Musk, on Monday, launched a poll on Twitter to determine whether he should remain as CEO or he should step down.
At the time of filing this report, 56.6 percent want Musk to resign as CEO, while 43.5 percent would be happy if he continues to run the company.
Musk has pledged to abide by the poll’s results when it ends.
“Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll” he asked Twitter users.
Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

After what has been described as a controversial acquisition deal, Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion in April, 2022, thereby becoming CEO of the microblogging platform.
Twitter also became a privately held company upon the completion of the transaction.
Musk, following his ascension as the company’s head, introduced a raft of radical policies beginning with the sack of Twitter’s three top executives — less than a day after completing the acquisition of the platform.
Following that, the billionaire went on a massive global layoff spree which affected Twitter’s newly created Africa headquarters, cutting the jobs of 3,700 workers.
Musk further switched gears by introducing a verification policy which compels users to pay at least $8 to get the blue badge.
Although the billionaire said he acquired the social media platform to promote free speech, Musk has become a subject criticism on the platform since he took over the company.
