Elon Musk Polled Twitter Asking If He Should Stay on as CEO. The Result Was ‘No’

The billionaire also implied that taking over Twitter had caused him a lot of pain. In response to a comment from Lex Fridman, a researcher at MIT and podcast host, asking Musk to let him run Twitter, the billionaire said there was one catch.

“You must like pain a lot. One catch: you have to invest your life savings in Twitter and it has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy since May. Still want the job?” Musk stated.

Musk’s poll comes amid growing discontent from investors in Tesla, which had its worst week since March of 2020. Tesla’s stock has lost more than 60% of its value this year. Most of the losses for Tesla investors began after Musk made an offer to buy Twitter in April, according to Yahoo, before trying everything in his power to back out.

Last week, major Tesla shareholder Leo KoGuan, a self-proclaimed “Elon fanboy,” slammed Musk for abandoning the electric car company.

“Elon abandoned Tesla and Tesla has no working CEO,” KoGuan tweeted. “Tesla needs and deserves to have working full time CEO.”

Theoretically, Musk’s poll could give him a way to justify putting Twitter aside to spend more time at Tesla, which accounts for the majority of his wealth. Musk has sold nearly $40 billion worth of Tesla stock over the last year.

Whether he will want to step down is another question.

“As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it,” Musk tweeted on Sunday evening.
