New majority Twitter shareholder Elon Musk issued several polls to his millions of followers on the social media platform on Saturday.
The outspoken Tesla CEO, known for his social media antics, initially asked if he should transform the company's Silicon Valley headquarters into a homeless shelter, before suggesting the removal of the letter 'w' in Twitter.
In the first post, Musk - who purchased a 9.2 percent stake in the social media giant earlier this week and was subsequently named to the company's board of directors - seemingly took aim at the company's lax remote working policies, saying he came up with the plan 'since no one shows up anyway.'
So far, the results of the 24-hour poll, posted at 9:30 PM ET by the billionaire businessman, suggests overwhelming support for the prospective undertaking - with 91.1 percent of more than 923,459 respondents voting in favor of the plan.
The second tweet about deleting 'w' saw Musk give two options without no as an answer, with 55.8 percent saying 'yes' and 44.2 percent 'of course' of 445,158 votes to-date.
It comes weeks after Twitter brass - who offered staffers the option of working from home 'forever' during the pandemic - reopened its offices March 15, with remote work remaining an option for staffers

What does that have to do with it? They’re limiting him for a reason, IMO, and given that Twitter is a fiefdom of censorship, my guess would be that the limit is so that he can’t use massive stock purchases (money = power) to take the company away from its propensity to censor people.

Good. I still suspect the others can band against him on matters such as censorship (up to 85.1% of stock).
Good to know. But aren’t hedge funds ESG adherents nowadays?
Just saw this tweet. ROFL. Someone posted that Icahn fired twelve floors of people. Musk responds “exactly”
I haven’t looked to see how many of the major hedge funds that own Twitter also own TSLA
Musk has clout. The CEO should be shaking in his shoes since Musk didn’t want him appointed as CEO
Lol!
Musk and Trump are cut out of the same cloth. Both super trolls.
I guess my point is that Musk doesn’t really fit into the billionaire’ club and Twitter won’t know what hit them..but then again...Dorsey looks like some mad man Stalinist
I’m dubious of Musk’s ability to change much. 90% of the company that he doesn’t own implicitly or explicitly approves of communist censorship of opposing ideas. He’s like the one guy on your HOA board who actually knows what he’s doing but is outvoted by 9 morons.
In this case the 9 morons all together own less than 1 percent.
And the institutional investors will likely bet on musk before the morons.
LOL!
SF is dead. Many issues. But industries should relocate to the suburbs like they did back in the '70s and '80s. At least require workers to show up once a week. If remote all the way, productivity will suffer.
Claening the deadwood out of that place is going to be a project.
Yeah, I miss george zimmer too.
I am amazed that mens warehouse is not bankrupt already.
Without his guarantee, why would anyone shop there.
At least I know the Nordstroms so it is all ok .
He is not one to merely troll. It’s a precursor to some serious undertakings.
Oh I think Twitter might be radically changed for the better with Elon behind the scenes. Twitter is being abused by its handlers right now IMO.
Musk talks to keep everybody on their toes.
He’s a globalist/elitist like the rest of them. Keep dreaming that he’s not.
“WTF should he have done already, in your opinion?”
—
There’s nothing stopping him from at least announcing if he even has any plans.
On the other hand, if all he was interested in was just having fun tweeting and not having to worry about consequences, it’s his money to spend. Better than wasting it on cigarettes and cheap wine, I guess.
