Elon Musk’s Twitter poll is just an illusion
Elon Musk has taken a Twitter poll to find out if he will step down as the CEO of Twitter. But can we trust it?
” Vox Populi vox dei! Elon Musk welcomed the results of his poll on the reinstatement of Donald Trump on Twitter and claimed that the people have spoken. It should be said that the businessman steers his ship by regularly asking the opinion of 122 million people followers. This time it’s even more important as he puts the position of CEO of the platform in the hands of his community.
Be careful what you wish for
A few hours after the final whistle of the World Cup, Elon Musk posted a poll on his social network: “ Should I give up managing Twitter? I agree to respect the results of this survey“. The post caught on quickly, of course, with almost 400,000 retweets and more than 17.5 million votes, roughly equivalent to the population of the Netherlands, Chad or Senegal.

And for good reason, as Elon Musk testified under oath during his Tesla salary lawsuit since last November that after the reorganization, he “Reduce time spent on Twitter and find someone else to manage Twitter“. The result of this survey was already written more than a month ago. More precisely, the question is: who?
“The question is not finding a CEO, the question is finding a CEO who can keep Twitter alive“, he explains in response to atwitter. “You will have to invest all your savings in Twitter [pour devenir CEO]Which has been on the highway to join bankruptcy since May“, adds another.
Who will catch the boat?
The question is who can bet on this ominous bird-turned-Twitter. according toSemaphore, Elon Musk is looking for new investors to come in and bring liquidity to the company at the price paid when it was taken private in October, which is $54.20 per share. But sometimes it is difficult to find an investor in this whirlwind of conflicting decisions.
