Is ElonMusk going to abide by the result of his poll?
The ongoing fiasco that has been Elon Musk taking charge of Twitter continues, with his latest jaunt being the creation of a poll to let users decide if he should step down from being CEO of the company.a new policy was immediately put into effect which threatened users with account suspension if they were found to be sharing links to other social networks onA few hours later this was reversed, with the posts and tweets deleted and Musk apologizing.
However, this led to a bizarre plot twist where he created a poll as to whether he should stay or step down as Twitter CEO, alongsideI've been following this saga since Musk first decided to buy the platform in April, followed byShould I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.The poll closed at 6:20 PT / 11:20 GMT on December 19, with 57.9% voting that he should step down, with 17,502,391 votes being made in this poll.
While his reasons for doing it this way almost make sense, it all feels as though he's toying with users for engagement. Drama is something most of us have likely seen or experienced on social networks such as Facebook and Musk is no stranger to this, which is why incidents like these have been flooding the news streams ever since he took over in November.
From replying to notorious users and unbanning others such as Donald Trump, it makes headlines and keeps Twitter relevant. Granted, the platform has sorely needed big changes for a while now, but it shouldn't have to stoop so low to the point where users are voting as to whether they can share links to other social networks.- I find it fun and engaging, and a far cry from how I've been reading my Twitter feed, even before Musk took over.
