A day after his Twitter poll on whether he should step down as CEO of the platform, Elon Musk did not comment on the result. But there is news about voting on the network.
The multibillionaire only wants to offer surveys to paying customers of the SMS service. Musk said this in response to a tweet from a user suggesting that only subscribers to Twitter’s “Twitter Blue” payment model should take polls. “Good point. Let’s do that,” Musk wrote.
Musk responds to conspiracy theorists
German entrepreneur and Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom had previously responded to the short message service about Musk’s layoff survey. He turned to Musk and wrote: It is not wise to start such a vote without first sorting out the “deep state” bots.
“Let’s clean up and restart the survey,” Dotcom suggested to the multibillionaire. With proper data mining, the bots could all be eliminated in one fell swoop. Musk’s response: “Interesting”.
One thing is certain: he remains the most powerful man on Twitter
In a poll, the majority of affected users voted for Elon Musk to step down as head of the short message service. 57.5 percent of survey participants voted “Yes.” More than 17 million Twitter users participated in the study.
Should the CEO actually step down, the exact consequences for the company are still unclear. The fact is that even without his executive position, Musk would remain the most powerful man on Twitter, after all, he owns the company.
Musk acquired Twitter’s short-messaging service for $44 billion in October and laid off much of its workforce to cut costs at the loss-making company.
