The media has been having a field day since Elon Musk’s poll asking users if he should step down as the head of Twitter, which now shows the votes favor him leaving.
But questions have arisen as to why Musk would conduct such a poll this early into his role as CEO of the platform. Clearly, it does not make sense Musk would put himself in such a vulnerable position, especially as he’s already made himself a ‘deep state’ enemy number one in the wake of the explosive Twitter files releases.
Currently, various media headlines are attempting to link the poll with Twitter’s supposed backlash over the platform’s new policies.
The New York Times headline, titled, ‘The Last Straw’: Twitter Users Rage Over Elon Musk’s Latest Actions,’ tried to suggest Musk has been forced into doing the poll because of backlash from reporters.
Meanwhile, The Daily Mail’s headline went a step further, reading, ‘Time to pack up your desk, Elon! Musk could quit as head of Twitter after more than half of 17 million users in HIS poll say they DO want him to step down.’
But despite the poll results, many comments voiced support for Musk, with some begging him not to leave.
Kim Dotcom pointed out why he thought the poll was unwise:
“Hey @elonmusk, it’s unwise to run a poll like this when you are now deep state enemy #1. They have the biggest bot army on Twitter. They have 100k ‘analysts’ with 30-40 accounts all voting against you. Let’s clean up and then run this poll again. The majority has faith in you,” he wrote.
Kim Dotcom then theorized Musk’s poll could be “a honeypot to catch all the deep state bots:”
“I’m hoping that Elon did this poll as a honeypot to catch all the deep state bots. The dataset for this poll will contain most of them. Some good data-mining and he could kill them all in one go,” he wrote.
Another Twitter user voiced the same suspicions:
“Is this a honey pot for bot makers?” Twitter user Andre_van_Delft wrote.
The Hodge twins followed up with the same ‘bot’ theory:
“This poll will def catch the bots,” they wrote.
Musk has repeatedly said his mission as the new CEO of Twitter was to get rid of bots and encourage more human engagement on the platform. With this in mind, this could be the ‘drain the swamp’ moment for bots on Twitter.

Speculation.
They look like The Flying Nun.
“A new kind of worldwide currency. Interesting.”
He better have some really good security.
this guy is interesting. No idea if he is guessing or has the goods but my own independent thinking says Musk is out and the Soccer game was a pretense for a dressing down. Poll lets him save face

Elon is only at twitter right now for the shit show of exposing everything that was going on. My bet is that he had a CEO already picked out before he bought twitter.
That guy is a vile piece of work. Blocked some time ago.
that guy is Leonidas Raisini. I will have to snoop around and see if I seem him in the crowd
But is he right?
Leonidas Raisini who does seems to have Arab connections.
and just where did he get the money to invest in tesla. says he will donate it all to the SEC if Musk suspends his account
ROFLMAO
Among his many companies, he has SpaceX and Neuralink. In effect he works with both rocket science and brain surgery. Are the boffins in the Deep State™ certain they want to match wits with him?
Imagine the exploding heads if Musk names Kushner as CEO of Twitter? Or even Trump Jr.
Kushner for CEO?
Yes, my head would explode if he names Kushner as CEO. I dont think he will. Maybe Kushner was the handler for the event. Kushner has bigger plans than running twitter.
Musk said no one wanted the job.
But how do you differentiate bots from real users? You don’t want to kill the accounts of everybody who voted because that would kill legitimate accounts.
