Elon Musk said on Tuesday he will step down as chief executive officer of Twitter “as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job,” but will not leave the company he bought entirely.⁠ ⁠ In a tweet, the billionaire said he will stay on to “just run the software & servers teams” after a replacement CEO is named.⁠ ⁠ Musk made the comment in reply to a Twitter poll he launched on Sunday that asked users whether he should step down as head of Twitter. He added he would “abide by the results of this poll.”⁠ ⁠ Some 57.5 per cent of the more than 17.5 million votes cast were in favour of Musk handing over the reins.⁠ ⁠ After the poll closed, Musk appeared to support suggestions from users that he redo the poll to hear only from users verified through Twitter Blue, the platform’s $8-per-month subscription service.⁠ ⁠ That new poll has yet to emerge, but he did say future polls he holds on policy changes will only allow paid subscribers to participate.⁠ ⁠ There was no immediate indication Tuesday that he would end his ownership of the social media platform.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in the @GlobalNews bio to read more.⁠ ⁠
