Elon Musk, after numerous missteps since taking over, has announced his plan to resign from Twitter.

In a poll of Twitter users, which counted over 17.5 million votes, 57.5% of the votes were for Musk to step down as head of the social media platform he recently purchased for $44 billion.

As a result, Musk said in a followup tweet, “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams.”

While he has given no timeline for his replacement to be found, two people with differing pedigrees have thrown their hats in the ring as potential candidates.

A little over two hours after Elon Musk posted his poll about possibly stepping down as head of Twitter, legendary rapper slash entrepreneur Snoop Dogg posted his own poll asking, “Should I run Twitter?”

Over three million votes later and the results were overwhelming.

Snoop then retweeted a post that provided a potential glimpse at how the social media platform might look under his watch.

Another interesting candidate, who actually has experience running a social media platform, has also entered the fray to replace Elon Musk in running Twitter.

That’s right, MySpace Tom wants back in the game. Those are the first tweets Tom Anderson, the founder of MySpace, has posted in over a year so you know he’s totally serious.

MySpace Tom’s pinned tweet is also quite entertaining…

So which candidate has the people’s vote?

Snoop’s tweet got over 210,400 likes (and 3.4 million votes).

MySpace Tom’s initial tweet got 210,700 likes, while his second tweet with his infamous MySpace profile photo has so far gotten almost 60,000 likes.

Perhaps someone should do a Twitter poll to see which one users really want take over for Musk.
