Following the Twitter poll that ended earlier this week, Elon Musk has claimed that he's going to step down as the site's CEO once a replacement has been found. That might not happen any time soon though, as the billionaire has claimed that he's looking for someone "foolish enough to take the job."
This news shortly after Musk tweeted out a poll asking Twitter users to vote on whether he should resign as CEO. The poll ended with over 17.5 million votes cast and 57.5 percent of them in favor of Musk stepping down. It's worth noting that there seemed to be several instances in which Musk threatened to redo the poll with only Twitter Blue subscribers as potential voters, but it seems he will in fact step down after all. Instead of CEO, Musk says he will "just run the software & servers teams."
As for who Musk's replacement could be, there's no telling what he could do at the moment. He recently responded to someone on Twitter stating that he doesn't have a replacement lined up, and today's comments certainly back up that statement. He was also recently pictured in Qatar watching the World Cup final alongside Jared Kushner, although this is just speculation at the moment.
Pretty much anyone that's been around Twitter will likely have seen this one coming, especially since Musk has been embroiled in controversy after controversy since taking the reins on October 27 earlier this year. Musk's implementation of Twitter Blue was probably his most controversial decision, giving any account that wanted a blue verification tick the option to pay $8 to get it, which in turn led to many high-profile attempts to impersonate game companies. I'm still not over what Mario did.
