Elon Musk has stated that Twitter will only permit blue-checked accounts to vote on policy changes when a majority of users voted for him to step down.
Mr. Musk conducted a Twitter poll asking if he should resign as CEO; 57.5% of individuals responded positively.
Since then, he has not directly commented on the poll’s outcome.
However, he has stated that Twitter would change its regulations so that only subscribers can vote on business policy.
One commenter noted that it appeared that bots voted disproportionately in the poll regarding Mr. Musk’s role at the company. Mr. Musk described the claim as “interesting.”
When he conducted the survey, the billionaire stated that he would abide by the outcome. If he does resign as CEO, he will retain ownership of Twitter.
Former Twitter vice president Bruce Daisley compared any potential transition to a football manager. Elon Musk will be the ever-present voice in the back of the room, he told the BBC’s Today show.
Nonetheless, Mr. Musk’s plans remain obscure. Although US television network CNBC tweeted on Tuesday that Mr. Musk is actively seeking a new Twitter CEO, Mr. Musk reacted with two laughing emojis.
This is a response to a tweet that stated Twitter Blue subscribers, “should be the only individuals allowed to vote in policy-related polls. Mr. Musk responded, “Good point, Twitter will implement that modification “.
The premium Twitter verification service was rolled out a second-time last week after its initial rollout was halted. The service costs $8 a month, or $11 for Twitter app users on Apple devices, and customers receive a “blue tick.”
Previously, a blue tick served as a free verification tool for high-profile accounts and served as a symbol of credibility.
Mr. Musk conducted a poll on his future as CEO on Monday. More than 17.5 million users voted, with the majority supporting his resignation.
While the poll was up, he responded to a user who claimed there was no new CEO in place by stating: “No one wants the job of maintaining Twitter’s existence. There is no replacement.”
Since taking over the site, the technology magnate, who also oversees electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla and space rocket company Space X, has received a great deal of criticism.
He has previously followed the results of his Twitter polls and cited the Latin phrase “vox populi, vox Dei,” which roughly translates to “the voice of the people is the voice of God.”
In October, Mr. Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion (£36 billion) after attempting to back out of the transaction.
Since assuming power, his attitude to content filtering has been criticized, with some civil rights groups accusing him of implementing measures that will encourage hate speech and disinformation.
Friday, he was criticized by the United Nations and the European Union for Twitter’s decision to suspend several journalists covering the social media company. He has also dismissed over half of Twitter’s employees.
Mr. Daisley stated that through Mr. Musk’s interactions with people, one could “get an indication” as to what he was thinking.
“He appears to be playing games with the vote,” he added.
Mr. Musk has also been accused of neglecting Tesla, the source of the vast majority of his riches. Tesla shares have lost more than 60 percent of their value this year, and others believe Musk’s fixation with Twitter is ruining the company’s reputation.
Last Monday, Leo KoGuan, the third largest individual Tesla stakeholder, demanded that Elon Musk resigns as the company’s CEO.
“Elon left Tesla, leaving Tesla without a CEO. Tesla requires and deserves a full-time working CEO “He sent in a tweet.
