Whenever in doubt – post a poll to your followers

Most people asking questions like ‘pineapple on pizza’ or ‘are you a dog person’ with followers asked to click ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in a two second decision. But how about leaving the fate of your job to a one-click vote?

That’s what multi-billionaire Elon Musk has done, posting a poll asking whether he should step down as head of Twitter.

Over 17 million users have cast their vote (some saying this vote is more important than your vote in the federal election).

Musk is asking everyday Twitter users if he should step down as head of the social media company in the latest bizarre move since he purchased the platform in October.

He said he will “abide by the results of this poll”.

The Tesla CEO has stirred the pot since taking the helm of the social media company.

Musk has enacted massive layoffs, suspended journalist accounts and even skipped paying rent of Twitter’s San Fran headquarters.

In Short:
– Fitch Ratings downgraded France’s credit rating to A+, citing political instability and fiscal challenges.
– New Prime Minister Lecornu must secure budget approval amidst rising deficit and potential no-confidence vote.
Fitch Ratings has downgraded France’s credit rating from AA- to A+, the lowest ever recorded, amid ongoing political and fiscal challenges.
The decision comes shortly after Prime Minister François Bayrou was removed in a vote of no confidence regarding his €44 billion austerity plan.
President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Sébastien Lecornu as the new prime minister, marking the fifth leadership change in under two years.Banner

Fitch highlighted political instability as a key factor undermining fiscal reforms, with France’s debt now at €3.3 trillion, or 113.9% of GDP.

The budget deficit increased to 5.8% of GDP and is expected to rise, posing challenges ahead.

Political Instability

The new prime minister faces a divided parliament and must secure budget approval by October 7.

The far-left plans a no-confidence vote against Lecornu, complicating further cooperation on legislative reforms, with S&P Global hinting at a potential downgrade.
