Elon Musk said on Monday that Twitter Inc will restrict voting on policy-related polls to paying Twitter Blue subscribers, on the same day that users voted decisively in a poll for Musk to step down as its chief executive.
More than 17.5 million votes were cast in the poll, with 57.5% in favor of the Twitter CEO stepping down.
“Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll,” Musk tweeted Sunday as he continued to face mounting scrutiny over his time at the helm of the site.
However, the billionaire, who bought the company and installed himself as its head only 50 days ago, has insisted there is no successor in the wings. “No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive,” he said on the social network. “There is no successor.”
