Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, has just announced his intention to step down from his position.
Musk announced his decision to resign on his official Twitter account:
This occurred after Musk conducted a poll asking his followers whether he should resign as Twitter’s CEO. As of this writing, the poll has received 17,502,391 votes, with “Yes” receiving 57.5% of the votes and “No” receiving 42.5% of the votes.
