Elon Musk is looking for someone to replace him as chief executive of Twitter in a search that began even before he posted a poll asking users if he should step down, according to reports.

More than 57% of users who voted in the Twitter poll Mr Musk posted on Sunday night said he should step down – a result he said he would abide by.
