Elon Musk has published a survey on Twitter asking users if he should stop being CEO of the social network. According to Musk, the result will be “binding” and if he loses, he will leave office. Few people believe in keeping their word, but if you want to vote…

The soap opera continues… The Elon Musk and Twitter thing is generating daily articles, and after banning journalists’ accounts, the penultimate controversy (it won’t be the last) is the announcement of a new policy that banned users from posting captions and links to other social networks like Instagram or its most direct rival Mastodon. He also banned tweets criticizing those decisions and his own CEO.

Poll, should Elon Musk continue to lead Twitter?

A few hours ago, the billionaire launched a new survey on the social network. The question is direct, as are the answers; Yes or no. «I should follow the head of Twitter. I will follow the results of this poll,” he says in a tweet:

At the time of writing this post 56.6% of those who responded to the survey say Musk should go home. Or at least leave the executive responsibility to someone more responsible, less controversial, and without as much fumbling when it comes to setting network usage policies.

Few believe Musk will deliver a verdict. Shortly after the launch of the survey, I already warned in another post: “As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for, it may come true in the end.”announce that it will “another vote for major policy changes” on a microblogging site. He also added some “sorry it won’t happen again”without specifying what he meant.

We will see the result of the survey and if he will respect it. Musk is a billionaire, delisted Twitter and basically can do whatever he wants because he doesn’t have to answer to investors. But there are not a few voices calling for him to leave office. Musk is in charge of big businesses like Tesla or SpaceX, but it’s unclear whether he’ll get a return on Twitter’s huge investment or sink the platform due to his inexperience running something as politically sensitive and administratively more complicated than the rest of what he has.

After promising “freedom of speech” and firing half of the workforce, the decision was made to expel journalists, block “dissidents”, prevent meetings from the rest of social networks, as well as remove criticism of the owner. You already know that supporters of democracy become the biggest dictators… We don’t expect anything good from Elon Musk at the head of Twitter.
