YEREVAN, DECEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS. Twitter users voted for Elon Musk to step down from his role as CEO of Twitter in a poll the billionaire entrepreneur said he would respect.

About 58% of the 17.5 million votes cast were in favor of Musk stepping back from the leadership role, Bloomberg reports. 

If Musk heeds the results, it would mark the end of 53 days as Twitter CEO, which has involved dismissing top executives and firing roughly half of its employees.

The billionaire owner of Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted a poll Sunday evening asking people to vote on whether he should step down as Twitter’s CEO. Musk said he would abide by the poll’s results. In several follow-up tweets, Musk suggested that he was serious about leaving. “As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it,” Musk tweeted.
