A Twitter poll created by Elon Musk asking whether he should “step down as head of Twitter” ended with most respondents voting in the affirmative.

A Twitter poll created by Elon Musk asking whether he should “step down as head of Twitter” ended early Monday morning with most respondents voting in the affirmative. Musk had said he would abide by the results of the poll, which began Sunday evening and concluded with 57% voting yes, 43% voting no.

More than 17 million votes were cast in the informal referendum on his chaotic leadership of Twitter, which has been marked by mass layoffs, the replatforming of suspended accounts that had violated Twitter’s rules, the suspension of journalists who cover him and whiplash policy changes made and reversed in real time. Musk did not immediately react to the outcome of the vote. This is a developing story. It will be updated.

😂 fake news

Chúc giám đốc có chuyến ra khơi thuận buồm xuôi gió .

I bet a lot of the people he fired voted on this! Plus, all the corrupt Democrats that vote for a Party...Not what's right for the people in America!

Yes simply yes!

This poll was rigged from the start. All liberals and Democrats are the ones who voted on the poll. They honestly thought if they voted to remove him he would leave. LOL

What about the other stuff going on with Twitter, any plans to report that?

😂😂😂😂😂

Elon appeared to have chosen a face saving way to exit his increasingly embarrassing management of Twitter.

Charge Instagram models like other 'advertizers'... They ARE selling ass.

Proud of Elon to admit he may have stepped way outside of his comfort zone.

I don’t recall seeing a poll but maybe it’s because I am an independent. 🤔 why is CNN still on Twitter if you don’t like the owner?

Congratulations 👏👏👏👏

I vote all of CNN out as news reporters but that doesn't mean anything to the many that hate them. Just saying! Stay in the Elon!

He's just one man, nothing wrong for admitting a person needs a little help every now and then.

He has shot himself on the foot.

He will be taking twitter with him goodbye fake news lol

CNN are you a bot? He did that to set a trap for bots you bots 😂 elonmusk bot

I wonder do the Saudis have a vote?

He did not receive advice of the dems to win the poll!

Thank God. Soon we can vote CNN out. Because in a Democracy, 51% decides for 49%.

complete fraud poll. it will be useful to track poll respondents to see how many are NAFo & CIA b& DNC bots i am on Twitter everyday and never saw such poll

56% is not most lads..stop playing with stats ..

He'll try to back out of it like he does with everything else.

If he pulled out who wanna be head? Some Indians?

The DOJ and FBI/GESTAPO had nothing to do with it. 🙄

When are you stepping down?

RussianCollusionHoax continues

How else do you seek out all the libs on Twitter? He can accept the results of the poll and just be like yip we have 6m people that get all their news from cnn…so way too many sheep! Just keep rolling elonmusk!

In years to come, the world will appreciate how democratic he is.

But now, surprise surprise, he doesn't like the results.

Why should he? But he's a busy man. The media just got feelings hurt if suspends their acct. Same as being put in Facebook jail happened many times to people I know for posting anything neg about biden,his son or Covid.Our government lost control over Twitter & they are whining.

Yeah “respondents.” Not necessarily “people.” 🤖 🤖 🤖

You need to work on your definitions again. It was 'most', it was 'a majority'. There IS a distinctive difference between those things. No wonder CNN is in the toilet and laying people off and firing others....ya'all are stupid partisan hacks! Chris Licht should FIRE YOU!

YOU JUST GOT, GOT!! You pencil necks just got played. In your efforts to jump a story, Elon pulled you right in to fake news while he was identifying bots!!🤣😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Yes, bots will do that. The poll results are tainted

Never saw the poll. Musk is doing an excellent job!

14 hrs later cnn has 1883 likes lmao you all suck man its laughable as hell that a natl news station gets less likes than peoples cat videos. You haven’t broke 2000 in 14 hours bahahahahayousuck

You think he wanted to stay CEO? Lol

Of course it did. Because trolling.

here comes the poll deniers... put them in venn diagram with election deniers... the intersection is.... repulsion to democratic process.

🤣👍

Media bubbling their mouths

Most is not 57%. Once again CNN let’s itself down at key moments with its bias showing.

Shit, word Twitter came out your mouth lol..

should audit for bots

Leftist voting yes thought that it will bring back the old twitter, but he's still the owner, and will put a ceo who will do exactly what he wants. So for the ones who vote yes, it won't change anything on how twitter is run rn! They will still reveal the truth!

Your a liberal ass kisser. Elon puts you in his dust. Y’all are two faced liberal Hypocrites

And that data should make him a few more million dollars from his advertisers.

most respondents voting in the affirmative. 🤣 you are not very good at math.

Who cares?..It means nothing. another poll controlled by bots.

Twitter is still more democratic than any of your network will ever be. Try saying something against your “core beliefs” !

Scarded to be killed by the far left?

Remove the bots and 90% of 'yes' votes would disappear...

Let’s see your email chain making everyone at you’re office vote step down lol

The best part is... I guarantee he's already got a plan or someone lined up to execute his policies that's going to make the left cry harder...

👌🏿

So what? Polls & Elections are meaningless. Come on, man, you know the way it goes...

A typical Democratic election! Voting easily, voting often and harvesting ballots! Pathetic!

Long live ELON! He's kicking your ass 🤣

Musk.......? 🦨 Stinks...... Tweet tweet Tweet!

Who let the dogs out votings? Must be CNN

You got trolled. 🤣🤣🤣

CNN comedy news network. Watch they have a whole new comedy line up this season. more one sided news wo verifying facts and more disinformation 🎉🤪🎉 brought to u by the people who care

What does the SECGov think about the TwitterPoll? Tesla

Musk punking progressives...again.🤩 The deep matrix bubble dwellers easily bamboozled.

He’ll probably say the election was rigged.

Doesn’t matter since he will control the CEO. At least we know the percentage of conservatives versus libbys.

musk===do NOT leave twitter. twitter and the USA need you

It was attacked by bots to have a yes answer in his poll.

When Elon Musk took over Twitter most pundits predicted he was getting in over his head. Being head of a social media giant is a whole other story from running Space-X + Tesla. It's like going from the frying pan into a tornado. Musk thought it'd be like taking a walk in park!!

Wish cnn would issue a similar poll

Well your going to love his successor Heard he is selling Twitter to Trumps acquisition Corp for 1 dollar.

Bot Bait

Cnn is 100% Terrorist scum supporting the Domestic terrorist controlled Federal Government

Bots n bitches 💯

What about voting to get rid of fake CNN bullshit news

Now ask those same people why with some detail. I hope Project Veritas can ask and post those answers.

elonmusk

Don’t step down…Just step away!

This is fine. Please work Space Elon. Appoint a CEO for Twitter to monitor lie factories like CNN.

This is what happens when you tarnish your business with politics.

Perot said a Tampa police officer had handed him a note yesterday morning from the FBI describing the plot. The assassination attempt 'would take place in Tampa or at the debate in Washington. . . . ' he said.

New CEO will be jaredkushner

That’s a true leader in my eyes

Elon Musk haters got nothing else to plain their mistakes on others. I have a warning. im not suspended or banned. mind you…it wasn’t my post i just shared a reel. i felt like sharing. happens all the time, mind you im not going after the FB owner or CNN news to complain 😂

You can be sure the intelligence agencies did all they could to vote him out.

More fake liberal votes

I’m sure the left wingers stuffed the ballot box. That’s how they win in todays world.

The majority who voted Yes! are his fans,he should focus on other things.

Could you have a poll to shut down your platform?

I’m a republican, and for some reason didn’t get any notification of the vote. I wonder how many Republicans didn’t get the notification

Well, it's a good thing, we need him to control his other companies which has also a major impact on humanity and probably have more impact on our future than twitter. Also, this will make polls more legitimate as to how we go forward on Twitter. Twitter is sorted new CEO is fine

Not a fair voting system, don’t you know one person can make a lot of accounts just by changing their email.

CNN made all the interns make 3 twitters and vote yes

... you guys love this don't you? Wait and see the next CEO. He'll be better than Elon and give you lying aholes hell.

Elon Musk is like a kid, screaming for attention.

100% - Elon lacks ….MATURITY- Why he has 9 kids - why he has a child with Amber Heard $

A poll is kinda institution. In this case its opinion is an absurdity.

This and the January 6 criminal referrals. It’s a good day.

And? You buying Twitter? If not, no one cares.

You're all going to crap your pants when you find out who will replace him.

Catching bots

Now remove the duplicate left-wing terrorist accounts on Twitter and you have a real poll. The only thing that needs to step down is Fake CNN from making so-called news.

I promise you Elon is playing chess while the rest of you are playing checkers…..

Well, because this platform is 60% woke leftists.

So he will appoint Jared Kushner?

Let’s see then.

Retiring behind the scenes is about Twitter.

I never saw someone spend so much and make so many enemies worldwide in so little time, not a way to run a business.

Lol. He was never going to stay on as CEO. He will have professional management run the company. He just forced CNN and the leftist media to do free advertising for Twitter. 🤣🤣🤣

There's so much scrutiny over one man when the entire msm news industry was coerced by gov't agencies to manipulate the truth. Always talking about Elon and Twitter but never the twitter files or the gov't manipulation of free speech. Democracy is under attack by the msm for govt

A blue tick then.

Elon destroyed Twitter with his arrogance and horrible business skills and is now looking for the least embarrassing way out of the mess he created. No Elon, stay as CEO and clean up the mess you created. No easy way out with a poll.

It was a trap dummies…. all bots exposed now.

How's his mental health?

Who cares? And why? Social media what a joke! 🎼

IMHO, he should shut it down. Twitter is only dividing this country more. Neither side is willing to discuss anything, it's all or nothing with most of the people on there. Both sides are acting like children. Has this what we've become as a society?

And who believes all the respondents were legitimate besides CNN and the like?

I’m sure they’re still counting the mail in votes for the poll

I knew you will post about it definitely. You are delighted right? Hahaha, the one coming is disaster for you guys.

I know CNN will definitely love Elon Musk to step down. Ya just hypocrites

Thousands of leftist bots you mean?

Either way he wins 😁 Man of his word or the best antagonist troll move the emotionally driven extremists left of year 2022 will see, and a move they will never mentally let go of 🤣

FBI dumped 81 million votes

43% is “most” to you. Hell then by that math NOBODY like Biden.

As a conservative i dont agree with rule changes mid game. Set the rules, both parties abide, whats the problem here? lets get back to this. Its not difficult.

Yes Elon, step aside! off to a Rocky start- Let the staff run company!! Treat others as you want to be treated, golden rule

Won't change my life either way.

Most twitter voters responded they wanted Trump’s account reinstated. I must have missed your news story on that.

The New York Times quoted HadiQaemi,The director of human rights in Iran,as saying that agents in Tehran identified and arrested a fourteen years old girl for removing her hijab at school through cameras, she was taken to the hospital with a severe vaginal tear and she died there

Saruman can't do that, it's too much work to do! Get out Saruman!

HateUnitesDemocrats RacismUnitesDemocrats

Imagine if Joe Biden did something similar.

HateUnitesDemocrats RacismUnitesDemocrats

I vote that CNN, the communist News Station remove themselves from broadcasting.

Can I vote more than once? asking for a friend

So if Twitter goes down does Truth Social get a new life line? Collusion?

Wow what a debate moment, Elon musk can not step down at this moment

Give Molly the job

Only commies worry about freedom of speech for ALL.

No. He stays

Jared Kushner might become CEO.

Is he though, are you sure he is not going to launch an insurrection?

It was RHETORICAL! lol 😂You people are so easily duped! Musk is an arrogant egotistical megalomaniac! He’s not going anywhere! He just wanted attention! 😂

Melancholy Island or the controversy valley? protagonists vs antogonists, the show Must Go On. BlindSlice

Still say he is trolling.

Don't worry he will not step down 😂
