Elon Musk asked Twitter users if they want him to continue running the social network, the result may not like it

There is no day that the tycoon Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, do not seek to make news. This Sunday, despite being in the Doha stadium watching the World Cup final, he launched a poll from his own account, which he promised would be binding, to ask users if he should continue running the social network.

The question is clear: “Should I continue to lead Twitter. I will abide by the results of this poll,” says the note posted by the billionaire, who then warns in another post: “As the proverb says, be careful what you wish for , that you can end up getting it”.

Just an hour after the poll (which will be open for 12 hours), 4.78 million users had voted, with a 58% majority in favor of Musk leaving the address.

He also tweeted another message announcing that “there will be a vote for major (online) policy changes,” adding “Apologies, it won’t happen again,” without clarifying what he meant.

Musk’s landing on Twitter has been followed by numerous controversies, and the most serious have been those relating to content policy and the possibility that the network itself admits criticism of its owner.

Twitter will prevent sharing links from other social networks

In this sense, last Thursday Twitter suspended the accounts of several journalists or bloggers who had been critical of Musk, but the decision unleashed an enormous amount of dust -with warnings to Musk even from the US government or the European Union-, until the point that Musk launched another poll on whether they should be reinstated, which he did in the last few hours.

The latest poll on his role in the direction of Twitter seems to indicate that he would be willing to appoint another person in charge of the network, an idea that in the last week has been expressed, for example, by executives of Tesla, the great business project of Musk that provides him with most of his fortune.
