Majority of Twitter users support Elon Musk stepping down as CEO of Twitter

But no amount of backtracking can reverse the reputational damage he has garnered while being head of Twitter.

Just a week ago, he was once again in the spotlight, after being booed by an audience in the thousands after coming on stage at comedian Dave Chappelle's show in San Francisco. And this was before his suspension of several notable journalists on the platform, claiming they were doxxing him by revealing his real-time location. Musk also ran two polls on this topic, and reversed his actions. But not before prohibiting linking to competitor platforms in what he described as "relentless advertising of competitors for free." Before backtracking on that statement as well, in less than an hour.

Musk's run of emotional tweeting and stirring up drama hasn't come without its fair share of consequences. Apart from the growing pains and pressure he has inflicted on himself, his other ventures that made him the richest man in the world are also struggling.

The poll came fresh off Tesla's worst week in two years after the company's stocks lost 60% of their value this year alone. Most of their losses started occurring after Musk offered to buy Twitter in April, with the lawsuit that followed when he tried to back out of the deal, and him selling nearly $40 billion in Tesla stocks to fund his eventual purchase of Twitter.

If the self-proclaimed "Elon fanboy" and third largest shareholder at Tesla is tweeting things like this, you can only imagine how the rest of Tesla shareholders are feeling.

Musk and the shareholders better hope the recent Steam integration on select Tesla Models and future updates are enough to move the needle and improve the company's situation. It also wouldn't hurt if Musk actually steps down from Twitter and gets someone competent to run the company in his stead.
