In defining whether or not to step down, Elon Musk has decided to limit who can vote in polls on Twitter

After launching a survey to ask users if he should step down as CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk recalculated and even decided to limit who can vote. The billionaire has proposed that only those who pay for Twitter”blue” can vote in polls related to social network policies.

One Twitter user said that “blue subscribers should be the only ones who can vote in polls related to politics.” Musk assured that it is a “good point”, and that “Twitter will make that change.”

Therefore, the proposal that Twitter Blue users would make sense to prevent bots, i.e. non-human, but automated accounts, from interfering with the results and a decision being made about it.

However, the problem is that this feature could benefit Elon Musk andn your personal decisions, especially considering that many of his fans are subscribed to the service.

An exchange with Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom had to do with Musk’s decision. The entrepreneur historian said that “it was not prudent to do an investigation like this” when he was now “the number 1 enemy of the deep state”. “They have the largest bot army on Twitter. They have 100,000 “analysts” with 30-40 accounts vote against you. Let’s clean up and then run this survey again. Most trust you,” Dotcom wrote.

Elon Musk, meanwhile, asked Twitter users if he should stay on as CEO of the company. And he promised, above all, to respect the will of the survey. The vote ended with a 57.5% of attendees calling on him to step down as CEO of Twitter.

the survey

57.5% of the more than 17 million accounts that responded to the survey spoke in favor of leaving Musk, who asked in a tweet on Sunday: “Should I step down as head of Twitter?” and assured that he would respect the result.

Musk, who also heads automaker Tesla and aerospace firm SpaceX, didn’t react immediately.

The South African-born entrepreneur personally took over the reins of Twitter last October 27 after a controversial purchase deal of the social network by 44,000 million dollars.

Since then, several controversies have arisen with the firing of half of Twitter’s staff, the reinstatement of far-right figures on the platform, the suspension of journalists and the attempt to charge for services that were previously free.

Analysts also noted that Tesla’s stock price has dropped by a third since Musk acquired Twitter.

“Since then it’s hard to ignore the numbers closed the deal [de Twitter]Investment expert Gary Black tweeted, saying he believed Tesla’s board was pressuring Musk to step down from his Twitter role.

In exchanges with users after posting his latest survey, Musk said he has no successor in mind and renewed his warnings that the platform it may be on the road to bankruptcy.
