Musk sets up Twitter poll asking if he should step down as head

Featured Replies

If Musk has a sense of humor, he will hide the poll a few minutes before it is due to finish, some excuse like a water leak. Then a few days later miraculously finish counting the votes in secret and declare himself the winner by a dozen votes and ban anyone that says "wait a minute".

Where a few see a sense of humor most see a moron embarrassing himself further.

Fell for what exactly? What would be his point?

To get people onto his platform. Clicks make money. Obvious isn't it?

In reality he’s just taken another brick out of ‘Brand Musk’ on which a great deal of shares are overvalued.

 

He’s playing Jenga with other people’s money.

 

 

Just like the orange boy

Musk’s main business, and the one he needs to pay attention to is Tesla.

 

He’s very clearly being distracted from his cash cow by Twitter.

 

Perhaps he’s looking for an out so he can cut an run back to Tesla.

Supply proof to back up your claim

   Smart move for him to have the vote--allows him to step away from the train wreck he has made of Twitter while saying the voters wanted him to leave, rather than leaving on his own and thereby admitting he has been a disaster.

Not much if there's next to no advertisers.

I'll do that as soon as you supply proof of just a couple of claims that you've recently made:

Oops, that must have bruised his narcissistic ego.
 

More interesting was a u turn highlighted in the article. 
 

“He also walked back the site’s latest policy controversy, after Twitter announced that it would remove accounts that offered “free promotion of certain social media platforms”.

 

Musk said the policy would be adjusted to affect only accounts whose “primary purpose is promotion of competitors, which essentially falls under the no spam rule”.

 

Maybe you should heed the poll results musk. 

Musk is truly a master troll. Come in spinners

He’s a spinning troll, given the number of tw*tter u-turns he’s had to perform recently. 

Elon Musk: Twitter users vote in favour of boss resigning

Twitter users have voted in favour of Elon Musk stepping down as the platform's chief executive after the billionaire ran a poll on his future.

A total of 57.5% voted "yes" after Mr Musk asked his 122 million followers whether he should stand down.

In the past Mr Musk has obeyed Twitter polls. He's fond of quoting the phrase "vox populi, vox dei", a Latin phrase which roughly means "the voice of the people is the voice of God".

Well, I voted in the Twitter poll, but I'd really call that offering my opinion rather than advising.

 

It's really great over on Twitter now that it's no longer a ultra censorious Left Wing echo chamber. Obviously that doesn't please everyone, as this thread proves.

Hadn't really noticed either way

When he brought in the Kitchen sink , it was a sign from the twitter Gods that he wouldn’t be playing favorites! !

He fired baker ex intel lawyer and wouldn’t allow the witch doctor infowars alex jones back! Then he cleaned up all the rest ,who dealt with suspensions of conservatives while exposing the fbi’s  influence  !

 

I think he bought it to expose the hypocrisy! I joined up right after he took over just to watch the wonderful happenings and I haven’t been disappointed!

Perhaps he’ll run it like the Washington Post Jeff Bezos, staying on the sidelines.

Actually it looks like he bought it to create hypocrisy. Not long ago he was claiming that Twitter would be a bastion of free speech. It turns out one exception of many is speech sharply critical of Elon Musk. Journalists get suspended for that.  I will say for him that he does allow his lies to flow unchecked.

And of course there's the hypocrisy of all his fanboys who only have a problem with censorship that affects those whom they support.

I think he bought it because of a ridiculously inflated ego, an ego that's taken a proper beating. Booed off stage, massively criticized, not least by some of his biggest investors, huge advertiser drain. He's finally realized what a massive doodoo the whole Twitter debacle has become and he's now running for the door, tail between his legs. Pathetic.

“In case Musk is on the hunt for a replacement, Snoop Dog had issued his own tongue-in-cheek poll and asking his own followers whether the rapper should replace the Tesla boss as head of Twitter:“

“The billionaire, who bought the company and installed himself as its head just 50 days ago, has insisted there is no successor in the wings. “No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive,” he said on the social network.“

 

Including yourself musk. 
 

C’mon Snoop, you can’t do a worse job than musk and the right wing reactionaries on tw*tter (and elsewhere…) would go into meltdown.

Imagine Snoop walking into Twitter HQ, not with a kitchen sink in his arms, but with a huge bag of weed, contentedly puffing on a monstrous spliff!

He then proceeds to perma-ban trump, the pillow guy and the rest of the sorry band of MAGA trolls that need a good kick in the posterity.

MAGA meltdown of the ages follows.:clap2:

Gotcha.

Apparently the Saudi's also asked him to get a new CEO, we know one of Twitters major shareholders is a Saudi. Its notable that the poll started after he left the match.

 

"Just overheard Elon Musk discussing investment opportunities from the Amir of Qatar @TamimBinHamad & other Saudi Royals for his businesses, specifically Twitter,but from their body language & diplomatic response, it didn’t seem very positive. They asked him to find a suitable CEO"

https://twitter.com/iamraisini/status/1604619857257025537

 

Update on above: Musk just put a search and shadow ban on the Arab DJ/Producer who overheard Musk talk with his Saudi and Qatar investors who suggested that Elon should step down as Twitter CEO.

So much for free speech eh…

  • Popular Post
 

For those critical of Elon Musk look at what he’s done:

-Reinstated Trump & others

- Released Twitter Files  exposing massive gov't election interference

- Ended COVID Misinfo rules

- Agreed to Twitter Amnesty

- Removing CSAM at scale

- Fired Activist Executives & non-essential employees

 

And it’s only been a month.
