Twitter will ban links to other social media services and suspend accounts that try to direct Twitter users to alternative platforms.The CEO of the social media platform posted a poll Sunday, saying, "I will abide by the results of this poll.""VOTE YES" quickly began trending on the platform in response.
Twitter's move signals a shift toward a more closed environment, one that still accepts incoming traffic from other sites but makes it more difficult for users to leave Twitter's website for other destinations,"Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post," Twitter's support...

He sure doesn't know how to think for himself if he has to ALWAYS take a poll from others in order to decide what he should or shouldn't do. Here's an idea, how about he conducts a poll asking if we all would like him to SHUT UP and STOP acting like a spoiled rich A-hole!
elonmusk lives rent-free in the minds of the mainstream media. That's worth more than any other type of advertising... and it's hysterical.
Why did he need a poll? He preached free speech and became Twitler instead. If his goal is success then he should, he's too emotional to run a social media platform.
NO way hoseA!!!
