If Musk were to step down as CEO, there wouldn't be a new one.

In response to a user who thought Musk had already decided on a new leader, the billionaire wrote that no one wanted the job. There was no successor in the works.

He made the comments the same day that he asked his followers if he should step down as the head of the social networking site. He promised toabide by the results after posting the poll.

By the time the poll closed on Monday, 57.5% of respondents wanted him to step down.

Insider's request for comment made outside of normal hours was not immediately responded to.

According to a transcript of a meeting Musk had with a group of people, he said he had to sell someTesla stock to save the company. He told employees that the platform needed to increase subscriptions because of the upcoming recession.

It wasn't clear who would take over if Musk stepped down. According to a report, Musk told a Delaware judge in November that he would reduce his time at the company and look for a new boss.

The question isn't finding a CEO, it's finding a CEO who can keep it going. He said to be careful what you wish.

Musk said those who want power are the ones who deserve it.

53 days have passed since Musk acquired the micro-blogging site. Thousands of employees have left, new features have been launched and revoked, and many celebrities have left the platform. There is a possibility of a change of leadership.
