After Twitter users voted to oust Elon Musk as CEO, he has remained silent. Now, he appears to think the problem isn’t him, but who gets to vote in the polls.

When Elon Musk polled Twitter users about whether to reinstate former President Donald Trump’s account, he quickly followed through on the majority’s wish to do so. “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” he pronounced via tweet, Latin for “the voice of the people is the voice of God.” Likewise, when Twitter users voted on another of his polls to provide “general amnesty to suspended accounts,” he went ahead and did it.

After coming under fire this weekend for a controversial new policy restricting users from posting links to rival platforms, Musk pledged to effectively crowdsource “major policy changes” at Twitter by polling users about them and soon launched the poll about whether he should remain as CEO. Now, Musk appears to be ignoring the results of the CEO poll and looking to overhaul how polls work without first polling users about what is arguably another “major policy change.

People purposely choose the opportunity to to go with the opposite answer to cause an uproar regardless of there true beliefs. We live in a society where *Haters* will go out of their way to cause distressing, meaningless answers. Rise above negative feedback

Musk executed Twitter due to a political decision.He admitted that.Musk's ego was destroyed in the vote.Hence this unnecessary drama play.

Proverbs 14:6 ERV Anyone who makes fun of wisdom will never find it, but knowledge comes easily to those who understand its value.

It's almost worth investigating rigged votes like this isnt it CNN If this can happen Twitter imagine where else it could happen, we need to investigate to the fullest all elections that appear to be rigged. After they counted the PM'd votes the results swung... Yeah right!

For firing everybody this is proof karma is real and God is taking care of what he did to the ones he fired Elon musk the devil's waiting on

Easy, he just bans the 57% account holders and democracy is...restored

Well, it wasn’t him that came to that conclusion, with proof that Twitter is over run with bots, it makes complete sense to use blue tick verification to try minimise that possibility. It’s not as though that argument is without merit, but once again CNN is misleading

Fake news Friday is everyday at CNN

Apartheid space Karen

43% Trump job approval . We have a country that elects POTUS who loses the popular vote by 4 million. Controls states with Jerry rigged maps. Is a majority in congress because big empty stupid states get 2 Senators. Free speechgoid, Democracy, not so much.

Mainstream media should get tired for once

It hard to accept when people don’t like you

Haha…CNN on morality and ethics after being blocked for doxing…you’ve found yourselves a new Trump to obsess with

elonmusk reluctance to quit so back stepping his commitment to the polls results Why the American rich businessman cow out of their undertakings

I believe that he started on the wrong footing. The users have no right to change the CEO. Their vote is subjective and not binding.

who is Elon gonna hire to be his personal puppet, willing to be abused, repeatedly fired, and forced to sleep under their desk at the office.

Do not leave all your Twitter investment to someone else. This is yours and not others.

He bought twitter right? You can buy him out as well, right? Or he can just do whatever.

Anyone who has paid attention to that thin-skinned vainglorious megalomaniac wouldn’t find this surprising. Although let’s see how long he gets to hang on with his 💰 masters telling him to step down. lol

Democracy should not dictates personal belonging paid for thé purpose of profit making thé gestion should bé manage as such

Democracy has spoken

Just like in the days of apartheid

We the people voted for Trump not biden. But you remain silent. Now you think the problem isn’t the corrupted media, but who disagree with your bias policy. Same words, but twisted to different direction.

I really don't want to be CEO unless if it's me owning my own company and running my own company and I have a business plan and ideas just don't have the money to get them going and my friend I would make him to CEO of the company I'd be the owner in the boss

I agree He's the owner I can work under him as company CEO

If only blue tick vote what’s the point not a fair representative vote as most are not as you have to hung for them

The problem are those who vote against him😝

Yep you're no longer Prom Queen time to hand The Tiara off to someone else that can do a better job you better get back to your core business before you are replaced there also

Sounds familiar

Maybe Twitter will be fun again

temporary relief....

Typical, elonmusk is just a wealthy bot afterall...

Did he, like a slew of GOP representatives, only want white supremacists living in red states to have the right to have their voices heard?

He learned from Trump. But things didn’t go well.and will not moving forward ,for Trump.

Sore loser - and those BOO's at Chapelle's show weren't for him either? AIR?

So if he's going to backtrack on this vote, and ignore it, then he should ignore the previous votes, like reinstating Trump. Otherwise his credibility has really been destroyed.

He is just a spoiled child!

Says the msm 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

とりま院政🧔

Wrong again CNN 😂😂😂

we are the suckers :).

Oooh!!! Rethoric ask or

Musk has a god complex. People should be wise to avoid worshipping him.

And may be he is right.

He is never the problem 😜

That's what I expected. Elon does see himself as a higher species. I feel stratification of a society causes political instability. If I were rich, I'd not tell anyone and act normally; try to blend in. It's a numbers game. Millions of 'them' and only 1 Elon. My side of it.

If he actually believes in democracy

Stop promoting Elon! Stop playing into Elon’s game! Twitter is not a political tool! Twitter is not allowed to dictate laws or leader changes! Stop being lulled into this belief Elon is playing at StopElon

All the demo and liberal bots fixed the vote

Musk is becoming a real clown

Too bad CNN didn’t have the courage that elonmusk did, and ask viewers if they wanted Cuomo or Lemon fired…!

So that's your story about Twitter, not that the federal government paid Twitter $4.3 million to censor Americans, in violation of the first amendment?

So….it’s a private company, right? Go back to Fb if ya don’t like it.

Lets take a poll of all users. Is CNN fake news?

Who still watches CNN?

Assuming Blue will get rid of the bots? Is that because it is a paid subscription? Or is it paid and verified? Assume someone couldn’t pay / verify a bot?

Well, he is the one who said - 'Vox Populi, Vox Dei'

going have a bigger problem if he thinks american politics are up for grabs with out country restrictions and with money restrictions, seems desperate.

A pathetic little man…

People are just dumb. He wanted to uncover the bots. He did. It’s called a head fake for the nerds who don’t play sports. It’s hilarious.

elonmusk what's up?

But these free loaders blue tickers who have not paid even a single penny to elonmusk Twitter want him to be out from twitter bcos they know if musk remain at helm of affair than they have to pay 8$ .

It was stupid, it also was a twitter poll. it means nothing. millions are run every day. but usually for things like 'whats your favourite cheese'

How very Republican of him...

Yes because he already showing his inability to be Ceo of twitter ,

Does CNN allow Fox to tell them how they should run their company? Why should you tell Musk how to run his?

literally nobody trusts you anymore just stop 😂😂

You leftist socialist political hack operatives for the “democratic” party will never report truth. Disgusting filth

Worry about your own problems. You have a lot.

😂😂😂😂 Has Elon learned the tricks of the LibbyDems

He is just messing with you weak minded liberals. Maybe you should focus on all the woke liberals that threatened to leave the US if Trump was elected president. They are all still here.

CNN is such pathetic filth

He is waiting on the mail in ballets to be counted

Kind of like how democrats appointed their own fraudulent, globalist FILTHY leftist potus.

CNN is complicit in covering up the zhunter Biden laptop story and altering the course of an election.

Exactly right you can have 12 year olds voting!!!!

what does it matter to you or anyone..lmao jfc this is your news?

Just like the Voter ID to remove bots

CNN, a poor excuse for news. Propaganda is even getting weak.

Just like our federal elections❗️

Today I wake. Yesterday I woke, tomorrow I question.

ISBN 0-07-115221-0. was among the founding of

Fake fake fake news

He has a CEO in mind. Wouldn't it be good if it was Donald Trump Jr. Get ready for the media to go into meltdown.

MuskRat: I won, I won! The best win in the history of the world!

No he wants to make it legit. Don’t lie to people.

How “Trumpy” of him

Absolutely NOTHING YOU REPORT MEANS ANYTHING.

Fake news you are scared 🤷🏼‍♂️

Nothing wrong with that . You want to change the rules all the time as well with half-baked reporting.

😂😂😂😂😂Sounds just like the MAGA Republicans.

My neighbor voted 40,000 times... Stick to lying and leave tech to us.

Ucrania President fooled you! LOL

Why doesn't CNN take a poll and ask if they should just shut their doors and stop propagating fake news and lies that their biased reporters seem to love to sell to ignorant liberals who are just looking for a reason to get madder at conservatives. CNN is lost and should shutdown

This is a great story! Can you do a story about how journalists with no morals aren’t actually journalists at all. And if you’re not sure where to get info on this, i would recommend interviewing your own staff.

Hey cnn what about the twitter files?

Elon Is right

a simple dunk tank with goldfish in warm water is needed for total satisfaction of the angry ones, on twitter

You liberals are going to shut yourselves when he names Donald Trump Jr. to that position

CNN not enjoying there leftist echo chamber going away 🤡🤡

Lolololo cnn lololololol

The fact this is being posted on Twitter... Epic

u guys do realize that he still needs to find someone to replace him right? He cant just immediately step down without someone having someone else replacing his position…

CNN is despicable.

I think he misread the room

Maybe the advertisers only should vote. Are there any left?

Well... he's right, expecting the vote to not be biased would be like expecting that, all those that voted against him were not the same group of people who were just fine with conservative voices being silenced, why would they vote for elonmusk putting a stop to it Fact

But didn't he run a poll immediately after he took over in which he got exactly the answer that he wanted?

Welp, that certainly fits with his newfound political ideology.

Honeypot A honeypot is a network-attached system set up as a decoy to lure cyberattackers and to detect, deflect or study hacking attempts in order to gain unauthorized access to information systems.

GOD SAYS ALL LIARS HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE OF FIRE. CALL ON JESUS TO SAVE YOU BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. JESUS LOVES YOU AND WANTS TO FORGIVE YOU. ITS YOUR CHOICE. REPENT OR PERISH.

Yea, this is the only significant thing going on with Twitter right now...garbage reporting. Again.

When it doesn’t work the way they want the system has issues.

How about buying and exposing all the CNN-Files? How many FBI's dirtbaaags are working at CNN btw?

Big damn baby

CNN.....stinging after its reporters are banned....LOL don't let the door hit ya

Let me guess, the vote was rigged?

CNN is so obsessed with this guy 💀

Wow, more of CNN’s insightful, hard hitting reporting, eh? And you profuse to know his thoughts.

CNN (Communist News Network).

The problem isn't him. The problem is a left-wing media who only supports left-wing free speech.

Talk about CNN Jim Sciutto.The man paid by Soros to interfere in the Hunter Biden's laptop

Good I hope he does fake news CNN

Why haven't you discussed the collusion between the FBI, the media, and social media in suppressing the Biden family business stories? Isn't your job to 'Go there & tell the most difficult stories?'

He probably thinks it is bots. I am Human thank you!

He did find the cnn Bots. 🤣😂🤣😂

Elon owns the company, he can do anything he wants

Wait- now you think a Twitter poll is legit? Lol next you’re going to want that for the presidency

Why would you invest billions and not run it. He wouldn't. He played the media again

A bit like his hero TRUMP

He owns Twitter how could they?

Tell him to pull up his big boy pants and take loss like a man.

You've been played

Elon living rent free at CNN….

His word means nothing. He said he abide and resign from twitter if vote went against him. He had the ability to set any conditions he set none . No excuses no complaints he lost a vote he initiated counted by his own company. He has to go if he has any morals at all

Elon, Elon, the result shock you? No vex, next time no test your popularity. When are you searching for the new CEO? I wan apply.

cryharder

He’s literally already looking for a CEO. It’s been reported.

You know there was mail in ballots he won

Actually cnn mail-in votes dropped off in the middle of the night for elonmusk changed the results of the election.. I know sounds kinds ridiculous right 😂 😂 😂

Oh look CNN sucking again.

twitter should only let blue checks vote others could be bots

Sounds just like the Democrats but the boys should not be allowed a vote considering the are not real people.

Agreed

He said he would abide by the outcome of the vote. Did anyone actually believe that?

Stay. We need you!!

That’s the Dumpster plan if you lose ignore it and change the plan so that you win worked out well for the Dumpster.

Such a genius way to catch bots.

It’s not him it’s us. 🤣

ReplyGPT

Covering this poll…. But how much coverage on the twitterFiles until equal coverage, because one seemingly is slightly more important than the other … why would anyone take you serious..

How are you guys going at CNN? Enjoying Gates money? Did Her Schwab ask you to print this?

CNN BUSINESS.lolololol

It’s not over yet should be some mail in ballots coming at 2 am they forgot about!

His company right? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love the smell of libs pissing their pants in the morning !, 👍🏽go Elon👍🏽🇺🇸

Because twitter users are historically heavily left wing Marxist drivel drinkers. That's why.

Maybe he waits for the mailed in votes to be counted! Patience please!

Of course comrade Elon does

It’s good CNN is on Twitter. More people can actually see your nonsense

Maybe you should worry about yor own business before you critique others.

Hey CNN, you know, Elon didn't have to do the poll.

Correction... 'as government funded bots voted to oust Elon'... There, fixed it.

Only verified accounts can vote, that’s the best solution

CEO SNOWFLAKE WONT LEAVE...

RussianCollusionHoax continues

He just waiting on the mail in votes just like the democrats 3 weeks later votes come in dead people voting just like cnn corrupt at its finest

CNN is the becoming the USA version of CBC.. Twisting news to suit their BS?

Kinda like how the Democrats won 4 senate seats in states with mail in voting 4 days after the polls closed for the first time in the history of our country. Rigged is rigged.

He just ran a bot test and you fools don’t even recognize that…

Kind of seems like that was the issue anyways. Honestly would think it's hilarious if the whole thing was just a way to catch more bots

Of course. Since it didn't go well on elonmusk's support.

This is news ? C’mon guys no wonder nobody watches you anymore.

Of course

See? He is a democrat after all.

He is waiting For the maling ballots,that still in thenoeinting process,it takes a couple weeks ,we have to be pacient

Seen the Twitter files?

Love for an Elon comment. What a burn of a title.

And maybe he’ll dismantle the whole thing for fun 😎

My guess is disgruntled TSLA share holders.

Mail-in votes yet to be counted.

Oh, NOW his polling method is no good, not after all the 'polls' that brought fascists back to the platform?

Stop spreading fake news!

Sounds about right........from a dictator.

Twitterfiles report on that too scared 😱

Sounds like someone else I know....

Literally not true, there were a lot of mail in votes counted and he won by 7%

It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me

WHY WOULD ANYONE BELIEVE A WORD THAT COMES OUTTA elonmusk's CAKE HOLE? He's Such a Narcissistic Attention Trollop, He Doesn't Even Know Enuf 2 B Embarrassed?! It's Sad 2 C a Grown Man, Who Has a High IQ, Demean Himself This Way!

COWARD

why eLoN not gO aWaY

So many people who don't like him and didn't vote, this guy just wants attention at all costs

Leave and make your own platform if you don’t like it

He should put Trump in that position...

He has chosen to Elongate the voting process - and so on ad infinitum.

I’m sure the Saudis aren’t happy with the way he’s running it.

What happened to his so called free speech!! Haha

The problem is liberals and CNN

LMFAO!!!

So like the Republicans

Oh thank goodness, please stay elonmusk

I have never met a tyrant that thought he/ she was the problem.

It almost worked for trump.

Bots shouldn't vote ...

Just another narcissist Republican crying foul be cuz they’re unable to accept they just didn’t get the votes…..

Sounds like a conservative

This is CNN

Ummm the mail in ballots finally came in and got counted, thus putting him over the top for the win.

Haven't you heard he is waiting on all the mail in votes to arrive. It could take months.

CNN the democrats news channel. Not interested in the Twitter files?

I am wondering if Apple and Google removed Twitter from their app stores, then…….

Don't give him air time. It is his company he can do what ever he wants Start planning your exit and don't put the info on this platform announce it on your platform people will follow.

CNN is fake news

stays silent? They guys on twitter 24/7 maybe you just don't like what he has to say

I knew that fake poll Elon conducted was a Red Herring. He had no intention of stepping down regardless of the outcome. If he had won, he would've taken the credit. But since he didn't, it was cuz of all the Twitter freeloaders. Paying users would surely see the wisdom of Musk!

He's the problem and he knows it

elonmusk first poll only proved that Twitter is still inundated with the left echo chamber.

Lol

And, we certainly don’t care what CNN thinks. Because, as we all know, CNN Sucks!

😂🤣😂🤣!!!

Aren’t you supposed to be reporting news? What is this tabloid nonsense?

What a Republican thing to do.. Change the rules when they lose.

He is right. He owns it, he can do what he wants with it.
