Following the survey results? Businessman Elon Musk is looking for a new CEO for the social network Twitter, it was reported today (Tuesday) on the CNBS network according to sources familiar with the details.
Musk asked surfers about continuing his tenure on Twitter – and these are the results
Musk, who bought the company for $44 billion in October, has previously said his role as CEO would be temporary. In court in November, Musk said, “I look forward to reducing my time at Twitter and finding someone else to run Twitter long-term.” However, on Sunday , he wrote in a tweet that “there is no successor.” “The question is not to find a CEO, the question is to find a CEO who can keep Twitter alive,” he wrote.
The billionaire released an informal poll on Sunday asking Twitter users if he should step down as head of the company, and a majority of the 17 million respondents voted for Musk to step down. He said on Sunday that he would stand by the poll results. However, the sources said Musk’s search for a new CEO was ongoing and began before the Twitter poll was conducted.

Twitter polls are straw polls, which means they are not comparable to professional public opinion research. Malicious bots or inauthentic accounts will also be able to vote and respond to the poll on Twitter.
Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Meanwhile, last night Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to the chairman of Tesla’s board of directors, Robin Denholm, expressing concern that Musk and the board may violate legal obligations to Tesla’s shareholders.
The lawmaker, who has previously discussed the idea of a wealth tax with Musk, asked the board to answer specific questions about Tesla’s alleged misappropriation of resources and conflicts of interest resulting from Musk’s purchase of Twitter. In a tweet Monday night, Musk said “the United States is definitely hurt” by Warren being a senator.
