Elon Musk: Will he follow through on Twitter poll?

Twitter CEO Elon Musk went to the polls, or at least a Twitter poll, asking users whether he should step down as head of the social media platform.

Musk, who shelled out 44 billion dollars for Twitter just two months ago, got an answer - he should pack his bags.

Of the 17.5 million Twitter users who voted, 57% said quit and 43% said stay.

So might Musk really be on the way out?

"The question is whether he moves himself upstairs and appoints someone to do his bidding for him," says Bruce Daisley, who was a vice president of Twitter for eight years until 2020.
