Elon Musk’s Twitter Poll

The vote comes less than two months after Tesla’s CEO bought Twitter for $44 billion at the end of October, giving him sole control of the social media firm.

Musk wrote in his initial post, “I will abide by the results of this poll,” but he hasn’t spoken on the matter since the poll closed at 3:20 in the morning.

Musk further tweeted that,

Although, the meteoric rise of the meme cryptocurrency has been primarily fueled by Musk’s tweets, reflecting his fondness for the project; his detachment from Twitter may not have a significant impact — as many industry experts tend to believe.
