Elon Musk, under fire for recent policy changes at Twitter, is asking users to vote on whether he should step down as head of the social media site.
|
The billionaire owner of Twitter and chief executive of Tesla would abide by the results of the poll, he pledged in a tweet late on Sunday. Mr Musk also said he would hold votes on major policy changes in future. Elon Musk’s remaking of Twitter’s rules on the fly has sparked discontent among users and advertisers.Since his takeover of Twitter, Mr Musk has weathered criticism for his sweeping changes at the social network – such as firing more than half its staff and bringing back previously barred accounts – as well as calls to refocus on Tesla, whose share price has been plummeting.
Since reluctantly completing the Twitter acquisition at the end of October, he has spent much of his time on the social service itself. He was posting late into the night on Thursday after tangling with journalists, Twitter’s most engaged and active contributors.
