Elon Musk, under fire for recent policy changes at Twitter Inc, is asking users whether he should step down as head of the social media site.

With five hours left and 12 million votes cast, 56% of participants have said yes. The billionaire owner of Twitter and chief executive officer of Tesla Inc will abide by the results of the poll, he pledged in a tweet Sunday. Three of the top trending topics in the US overnight were about the platform itself, including "VOTE YES” and "CEO of Twitter.”
