Elon Musk once again opened a new chapter in his adventures (for him, misadventures for others), by creating a survey on Twitter with which to decide whether to continue leading the social network or not . A way of deciding that in the case of anyone else, could have been unprecedented, but with it we are already cured of horrors.
“ Should I resign as head of Twitter? I will stand by the results of this survey .” Well, it seems that in this “to be or not to be”, the popular response has leaned Email Data towards not being. With 57.5% of the votes, the final answer would force Musk to abandon his position as CEO , in case he keeps his word.
An uncertain future for Twitter
Of the more than 17.5 million users participating in the survey , the majority consider that Musk should not continue as CEO of the social network, having only two months passed since the technomagnate bought the company. But what months!
For his part, Musk has been leaving loose comments on his profile in clear allusion to this issue . Some tweets like the following are just a few examples: “ As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it ” or “ Those who desire power are those who deserve it least .”
Of course, we do not consider this to be an impulsive movement without any type of approach and thought behind it . We should not be fooled by the overtones of theatricality that Musk likes so much and with which he draws his character. He is an expert in launching probe balloons to analyze user reactions, this is something that we have already seen during these months with the large number of tweets that he has published in relation to countless changes and proposals for Twitter, and with his comings and goings. comings. So the final result must have already been more than predicted .
And, regarding this, various theories have been formulated . Since the pressure from investors would be pushing him to leave the position in the hands of another person, until he already had in mind to look for a replacement and this is just an excuse to create expectation and spectacle. For the moment we can only wait for the next tweet from the richest man in the world.
How people have reacted to Musk's survey
The first is the case of user Zsolt Wilhelm. “ Let me predict the consequences of this survey: if the answer is “yes”, Elon will be CEO for a few months until a worthy successor is found. If the answer is “no,” Elon will be CEO for a few months until a worthy successor is found .”
Lesley Podesta commented, “ The idea of someone making decisions about a company they bought for $44 million through a Twitter poll is staggering.
