Musk's poll results: Elon will step down as Twitter CEO

 

Twitter enjoyers voted 

anxiously 

in a poll for Elon Musk to step down as chief executive of the social network website. 

This comes after Musk who has been in the position for less than two months conducted a poll on Twitter.

Musk tweeted a poll via his verified handle Sunday night asking tweeps to vote on whether he should step down as Twitter’s CEO, adding that he would abide by the poll’s results.

He tweeted, “Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.”

As of Monday morning, with about six hours to the end of the poll, “Yes” was winning by a margin of 56.3% to 43.7%.

Since buying Twitter and taking over as CEO in late October, the billionaire owner of Tesla has been involved in a series of controversies on the ‘blue app.’

After buying the company for $44 billion from its former CEO, Jack Dorsey, Musk began to make some controversial changes to the company’s policy and personnel.

He sacked several of Twitter’s top executives and half of the company’s staff immediately after becoming its CEO, and announced a stop to remote working for the remaining, lucky employees.

Musk  announced a new policy to make profit on twitter's verification badge by  a $20 monthly subscription fee for the blue badge, which he later lowered to $8.

Recently, Musk disabled the Twitter Space feature from the app after having a heated argument with the host of a Twitter Space he participated in. The company, however, claimed that Space was disabled because of a little glitch. It has since been restored after backlashes from users. 

Musk tweeted Sunday night that every major policy change would now be subjected to a vote.

He wrote, “Going forward, there will be a vote for major policy changes. My apologies. Won’t happen again.”
