Users of the social media platform were asked by Musk if he should step down as head of the company. It was by 3 a.m. The majority of respondents wanted the billionaire to leave his post.
It's not clear whether or not Musk will actually follow through on his claim that he will abide by the results of the poll.
Musk said in court in November that he would reduce his time at the micro-blogging site. He wrote on Sunday that there isn't a replacement for him at the company.
The question isn't finding a CEO, it's finding a CEO who can keep it going.
Straw polls are not comparable to public opinion research. A fake account can register a response to a poll.
The Sunday poll followed online backlash after the chief twit made sudden changes to policies impacting users of the micro-messaging service.
On Sunday, the company introduced a new social media platform promotion policy that banned users from sharing links to their other social media accounts. Paul Graham was one of the longtime Musk friends and proponents who expressed their displeasure at the policy causing Musk to apologize and roll it back.
The company made changes to its policy about sharing private information online. The new policy prohibits users from sharing other people's live location information, home addresses, contact information or physical location information but has left a lot of people confused.
A number of U.S.-based journalists, commentators and others who were critical of the CEO or his companies in the past were suspended from the social networking site. Not all of the accounts were restored a few days later.
It was the latest chapter in Musk's rocky takeover of the social media site. The acquisition of the company for around $44 billion in October resulted in massive staff cuts, a spike in racist hate speech, advertisers fleeing or slashing their spending on the platform, as well as the reinstatement of previously banned accounts.
Hate speech impressions have fallen since Musk took over, he claims.
The billionaire is bleeding into his other businesses.
This year, Musk has sold billions of dollars worth ofTesla shares. Executives, engineers and attorneys from both Musk's companies have been enlisted to help him at the micro-blogging site.
According to NBC News, NASA administrator Bill Nelson asked Shotwell if Musk's "distraction" at the micro-blogging site would affect the company's work with the space agency. Nelson said she told him it wouldn't.
The public image and stock price of his car company are being negatively impacted by his behavior on social media. As of Sunday night, shares in the company had plummeted. The decline in growth stocks is one of the reasons why the tech-laden Nasdaq has fallen over 30% so far this year.
The largest retail shareholder in the company wrote on December 14 that the CEO of the company had left. He asked the company's board of directors to act. He criticized the company's board of directors for not doing enough to have a full-time CEO.
Last week, Musk said that he would make sure that the shareholders of the company benefited from the social networking site.
According to a survey in Germany, a majority of respondents feel that Musk's performance as the CEO of Twitter has had a negative impact on their opinion of the company.
Only 9% of the people who responded to the survey said they found the company to be very or mostly likable. That is despite the fact thatTesla is investing a lot in Germany. It opened a major vehicle assembly plant in Grnheide outside of Berlin.
At 3.30 a.m., the article has been changed to reflect that. The majority of respondents voted for Musk to step down.
