A poll by Elon Musk on whether he should quit as Twitter CEO showed the majority of users of the social media platform who took part voted in favour of the move, after the poll ended this morning. About 57.5% votes were for “Yes”, while 42.5% were against the idea of Mr Musk stepping down as the head of Twitter, according to the poll the billionaire launched yesterday evening. Over 17.5 million people took part in the vote. Mr Musk has said he will abide by the results of the poll, but did not give details on when he would step down if results said he should. Shares of Tesla, the electric-car maker Mr Musk heads, were up more than 5% in pre market trading. Mr Musk, who lost his title as the world’s richest person earlier this month, also founded tunneling enterprise Boring Company, backs medical device company Neuralink and heads rocket company SpaceX. (…) Tesla has already lost nearly 60% of its value this year, as, like other carmakers, it battles supply chain issues and increasing competition in the EV space. Last month, Mr Musk told a Delaware court that he would reduce his time at Twitter and eventually find a new leader to run the social media company.
