Washington: Elon Musk said on Wednesday that he will step down as Twitter CEO as soon as he finds “someone foolish enough” to replace him, following a recent Twitter poll.

On Sunday, Musk posted a poll asking Twitter users whether he should step down as the social media platform’s chief executive.

The poll closed on Monday morning after 12 hours of voting, with over 17.5 million users having participated in it. Around 57.5% of users voted in favor of Musk’s resignation, with just 42.5% voting against it.

“I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams,” Musk replied to his Twitter poll.

Earlier on Tuesday, CNBC reported, citing sources familiar with the matter, that Musk is actively looking for a new Twitter CEO.

In late October, Musk finalized the $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, a US company founded in 2006 with its headquarters located in San Francisco, California.
