Elon Musk has announced that he will give up his post as CEO once he has found a successor.
"I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone stupid enough to take the job," he wrote on Wednesday night on his social network account.
After that, he will only lead the software and server teams.
Musk was responding to a user survey he initiated, which ended after twelve hours on Monday morning.
The entrepreneur had asked: "Should I resign as CEO of Twitter?".
Musk had promised that he would stick to the results of the survey.
The survey delivered a fairly clear result: a total of around 17.5 million Twitter accounts took part in the survey, and around 57.5 percent of them were in favor of Musk stepping down as CEO.
