Twitter poll closes, most users vote for Musk exit

More than half of 17.5 million users who responded to a Twitter poll created by billionaire Elon Musk over whether he should step down as head of the company had voted yes by the time the poll closed Monday.

There was no immediate announcement from Twitter, or Musk, about whether that would happen, though Musk said that he would abide by the results.The results of the unscientific online survey showed that 57.5% of those who voted wanted him to leave, while the remaining 42.5% wanted him to say.

Twitter had announced that users will no longer be able to link to Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and other platforms the company described as “prohibited.”
