After acquiring Twitter and becoming CEO, Elon Musk asked users in the form of a survey whether or not he should resign as CEO. The survey showed a majority in favor of stepping down as CEO, but Mr. Musk responded by saying, “If anyone is foolish enough to accept the position of CEO of Twitter, I will resign immediately.

Elon Musk stepping down as CEO of Twitter does not change the essence of the company, some investors complained.

Survey results showed a majority (57%) in favor of Mr. Musk stepping down as CEO. However, some of Mr. Musk’s supporters said that “voting is done by bots” and “voting rights should be limited to paid Twitter members,” and Mr. Musk responded in agreement with these opinions.

 

Mr. Musk, who had avoided making a clear statement about his own future plans, stated on his account on December 21, 2022, “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take over (Twitter’s) CEO position! After that, I will just run the software and server team,” he tweeted, saying that he would resign as CEO if a successor is found.

Note that CNBC reports that Mr. Musk is actively looking for a new CEO for Twitter, but also points out that “there will be no substantive change if Elon Musk steps down as CEO of Twitter”!

 

Mr. Musk has made changes such as relaunching Twitter Blue, a subscription service, and launching perks such as the purchase of blue certified badges and halving the number of ads, as well as mass layoffs of employees to cut costs.

 

At the same time, the company reinstated a large number of influencer and racist accounts for election and vaccine misinformation, froze the accounts of journalists who tracked Mr. Musk’s private jet or reported related news, deleted tweets whose main purpose was to promote other social networking sites, and His policies are sometimes controversial, such as announcing the freezing of accounts and then immediately withdrawing them.

 

Musk frequently polls users on Twitter to get their opinions on these issues, and on December 19, 2022, he conducted a survey asking whether he should step down as CEO, and more than 17.5 million users voted, with 57.5% of them saying he should step down. The result was that more than 17.5 million users voted, and 57.5% of them answered that he should step down. Mr. Musk has expressed his agreement with opinions such as “Twitter has a large number of deep state BOTs, and the results of this vote were manipulated by BOTs,” and “Only paid Twitter members should be given the right to vote. The “Twitter” is a public entity, and it is not clear if he will actually step down from Twitter.
