Elon Musk is feeling the heat and is now being ordered to step down as head of the Twitter platform.
The news comes after the billionaire conducted a poll where more than 57% of voters did not shy away from speaking their minds on the decision.
In case you did not know, Musk is famous for these types of polls and he really believes in the concept of freedom of speech. But in this case, we’re talking about the billionaire himself so you can only imagine how it must feel.
Musk had put his future with the firm in the hands of its users. In the poll, he asked people if he should step down and swore to abide by the results.
And nearly 17.5 million people voted and around 57% said they wanted him out! Yikes, it looks like his plan may have backfired.
He’s suffered weeks of criticism regarding how he’s run the website since he took over toward the end of October. You could see the chief of Twitter set out a new review of his performance toward the people.
The results were in, right before the evening hours and that’s when the billionaire went about posting if he should step down. And promised to hear the voice of those taking part in this poll.
In comparison, around 42% of people wanted him out and felt the time had come for him to leave and give the role to someone else as he certainly wasn’t doing such a great job.
For now, it’s unclear who would be heading the platform, in case he does step down. But we are sure he must have a name in store.
“As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for because you just might end up getting it all”- he concluded.
