Elon Musk is set to step down as Twitter CEO after he promised to abide by the results of a poll, the final results of which showed a majority of respondents desiring to see him give up the position.

Musk posted the poll late last night and left it to run for only 12 hours.

“Should I step down as head of Twitter?” asked Musk. “I will abide by the results of this poll.”

The final result showed that a majority of 57.5% to 42.5% wanted to see him vacate the position.

However, Musk followed up the poll with a warning as to who his replacement might be.

“As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it,” tweeted the Tesla founder.

“The question is not finding a CEO, the question is finding a CEO who can keep Twitter alive,” Musk later commented, suggesting the fact that the platform is a giant black hole for money and cannot turn a profit has turned him away.

Some speculated that Musk knew he would lose the poll once far-left Twitter mobs activated to swing the result, and that this gives him an easy way to bow out.

Others hinted that Musk has already selected a new CEO, the announcement of which will terrify leftists even more than him being in charge.

I have a feeling Elon Musk already has a Twitter CEO picked out and this person will piss the left off even more
