Elon Musk could step down as head of twitter!
The story of Elon Musk and Twitter has been a rollercoaster this year.
Since taking over Twitter in a $44bn deal in October, Elon has made some BIG changes to the platform, leaving fans and users not happy.
In a bold move while watching The World Cup final in Qatar Elon posted a poll asking users if he should step down as head of Twitter:
Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

Musk’s poll came after Twitter’s announcement that it would no longer allow the “free promotion” of other social media platforms sparked a backlash among users.
In the latest controversial policy change, Twitter said in a statement on Sunday that users would no longer be allowed to post usernames and links to accounts for a number of other social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Mastodon.

The poll resulted in the majority of people voting yes he should step down.
Following the results of the poll Elon Musk says that Twitter will only allow Blue subscribers to vote in policy related polls after users voted for him to step down as head of the platform.
