Elon Musk said Tuesday that he plans on remaining as Twitter害羞草研究所檚 CEO until he can find someone willing to replace him in the job.

Musk害羞草研究所檚 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.

Since taking over San Francisco-based Twitter in late October, Musk害羞草研究所檚 run as CEO has been marked by quickly issued rules and policies that have often been withdrawn or changed soon after being made public.

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

Some of Musk害羞草研究所檚 actions have unnerved Twitter advertisers and turned off users. They include laying off half of Twitter害羞草研究所檚 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.

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.

Bantering with Twitter followers last Sunday, he said that the person replacing him 害羞草研究所渕ust like pain a lot害羞草研究所� to run a company that he said has been 害羞草研究所渋n the fast lane to bankruptcy.害羞草研究所�

害羞草研究所淣o one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor,害羞草研究所� Musk tweeted.

As things stand, Musk would still retain overwhelming influence over platform as its owner. He fired the company害羞草研究所檚 board of directors soon after taking control.
