Is it time for Musk to give it all up and accept defeat?
A recent poll on Twitter has hinted that Elon Musk should step down! The poll that he started himself might we add…
So will he abide by the results? Nearly 58 per cent of the almost 18 million votes said he should step down from his position as CEO. But maybe he will, since he listened to the results of his last poll to allow Trump back on the social platform!
🔭 Science & Futuristic Tech
