Elon Musk has lost the Twitter poll he started.

A total of 57.5 per cent voted “yes” after the 51-year-old billionaire asked his 122 million followers whether he should stand down.

Over 17 million votes were cast in the poll that began on Sunday evening and ended Monday with most respondents voting in the affirmative.

“Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll. (sic)” Elon Musk has asked Twitteratis.

On Sunday, Twitter’s new owner and CEO Elon Musk posted an informal poll asking users of the social media platform if he should step down as head of the company.

Musk claimed he will abide by the results of the poll, which is due to close early Monday morning, but it is unclear whether or not he will actually do so.
