The Twitter poll posted by Elon Musk on Sunday evening has ended with the final results showing 57.6% of voters in favor of Musk resigning from his position. Musk stated that he would “abide by the results of this poll” and thus, onlookers are awaiting his next announcement.
Candidates have already thrown their hats into the ring to take over but Musk has claimed that he is struggling to find a suitable candidate that is willing to take the role.
Since the poll went live, Musk-friendly crypto project DogeCoin has fallen roughly 3% as hopes of the token taking a lead role in Twitter’s future evaporate.
While the overall crypto market is also down slightly, DOGE also fell around 3% against Bitcoin over the same period, indicating weakness outside of the general market sentiment.
