<p>In <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/451351-elon-musk-posts-through-the-pain-as-twitter-implodes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">further posts</a>, he added: &#8220;As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it,&#8221; as well as, &#8220;Those who want power are the ones who least deserve it.&#8221;</p>



<p>Prior to releasing the poll, he announced that decisions would be made democratically going forward.</p>



<p>He said: &#8220;Going forward, there will be a vote for major policy changes. My apologies. Won’t happen again.&#8221;</p>



<p>Musk didn&#8217;t confirm who at Twitter would replace him. However, when Lex Fridman offered to take up the mantle, he gave some insight as to how he&#8217;s been coping with taking over the site.</p>



<p>&#8220;You must like pain a lot,&#8221; Musk said. &#8220;One catch: you have to invest your life savings in Twitter and it has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy since May. Still want the job?&#8221;</p>



<p>As of Sunday night, the poll sits at 56.5% in favor of Musk stepping down and 43.5% in support of him staying on. Over 10 million users have participated.</p>



<p>It isn&#8217;t the first time that Musk has made a decision for the platform based on a user poll. He previously <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/451731-elon-musk-reinstates-donald-trumps-twitter-account" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">welcomed Donald Trump back</a> to the site after conducting a similar poll.</p>
