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

Musk含羞草研究社檚 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in late October, Musk含羞草研究社檚 run as CEO has been marked by quickly issued rules and policies that have often been withdrawn or changed soon after being made public.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含羞草研究社檚 actions have unnerved Twitter advertisers and turned off users. They include laying off half of Twitter含羞草研究社檚 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 含羞草研究社渕ust like pain a lot含羞草研究社� to run a company that he said has been 含羞草研究社渋n the fast lane to bankruptcy.含羞草研究社�

含羞草研究社淣o one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor,含羞草研究社� Musk tweeted.

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