On Sunday, Elon Musk started poll on the social media, asking users if they thought he should stand-down as CEO. Musk also promised to follow the poll’s results.
Elon Musk starts a poll is set to end on Monday at 11:20 GMT. But the billionaire omitted to say exactly when he would resign if the results of the survey indicated that he should.
Musk responded to a tweeter who speculated about a potential change in the CEO by saying, “There is no succession.”
Musk stated last month in a Delaware court that he would work less at Twitter and eventually select new CEO.
The survey was conducted following Twitter’s Sunday policy change, which forbade the creation of accounts purely for the purpose of promoting competing social media companies as well as the posting of content that contains links to or usernames for such sites.

Musk tweeted, “Going ahead, there will be a vote for big policy changes,” after apologising just before the poll.
Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

A few hours later, Twitter launched a survey. The survey was asking users if the social media network should have a rule against accounts. Those Accounts that promote other social media sites on its platform.
According to message from Twitter support, the policy change would affect content from social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram.
Jack Dorsey, a former CEO of Twitter who recently made a capital investment in the social media platform Nostr, simply asked “Why” in response to the Twitter support post. Dorsey said, “doesn’t make sense,” in response to another user who posted about the ban on Nostr promotions.
Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council, a volunteer body established in 2016. This is to provide the social media platform with recommendations on site decisions, was abolished last week.
The tumultuous acts at Twitter since Elon Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla, purchased the social network have led to the change in policy. While debating how much to charge for the subscription service Twitter Blue, he fired the company’s top executives and let approximately half of the workers go.
