Twitter CEO Elon Musk posted a poll on Sunday asking whether he should step down as the head of Twitter and said he'll "abide by the results."

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

"Yes" is leading 56.6% to 43.3% as of 2AM EST.

I voted no because even though he's a mixed bag and his decisions are all over the place he seems to come to his senses over time and has made more good decisions than bad ones.

I don't know if the poll is getting botted or what (I suspect it is) but I do know pretty much everyone agrees the new policy he rolled out banning links/accounts promoting alternative social media platforms is supremely idiotic.

Policy will be adjusted to suspending accounts only when that account’s *primary* purpose is promotion of competitors, which essentially falls under the no spam rule

Gab was apparently banned under this rule along with tons of other users, seemingly just as a result of automation.

Nonetheless, Musk reversed course on the new rule in less than 24 hours and apologized.

Going forward, there will be a vote for major policy changes. My apologies. Won’t happen again.

Twitter has deleted @TwitterSafety's tweets and a webpage detailing its new policy to prevent accounts from promoting other social media platforms (@molly0xfff)https://t.co/E8L5EsdPlJ https://t.co/fI3Mdxn8yF

Musk posted his poll asking whether he should step down shortly after.

This is straight off his feed:

You must like pain a lot. One catch: you have to invest your life savings in Twitter and it has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy since May. Still want the job?

True

As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it

It seems like he's ruling out Fridman, at least:

No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor.

Those who want power are the ones who least deserve it
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 19, 2022

Musk should stick to his original plan of allowing free speech and defeating the woke mind virus.
