SAN FRANCISCO — <\/span>Elon Musk said Tuesday that he plans on remaining as Twitter<\/a>‘s CEO until he can find someone willing to replace him in the job.<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s announcement came after millions of Twitter users asked him to step down in an unscientific poll the billionaire himself created and promised to abide by.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job!\u201d Musk tweeted. \u201cAfter that, I will just run the software & servers teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since taking over San Francisco-based Twitter in late October, Musk\u2019s run as CEO has been marked by quickly issued rules and policies that have often been withdrawn or changed soon after being made public. <\/p>\n

He has also alienated some investors in his electric vehicle company Tesla who are concerned that Twitter is taking too much of his attention.<\/p>\n

Some of Musk’s actions have unnerved Twitter advertisers and turned off users. They include laying off half of Twitter\u2019s workforce, letting go contract content moderators and disbanding a council of trust and safety advisors that the company formed in 2016 to address hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm and other problems on the platform.<\/p>\n

Musk, who also helms the SpaceX rocket company, has previously acknowledged how difficult it will be to find someone to take over as Twitter CEO.<\/p>\n

Bantering with Twitter followers last Sunday, he said that the person replacing him \u201cmust like pain a lot\u201d to run a company that he said has been \u201cin the fast lane to bankruptcy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor,\u201d Musk tweeted.<\/p>\n

As things stand, Musk would still retain overwhelming influence over platform as its owner. He fired the company\u2019s board of directors soon after taking control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
