Should I quit? Yes or no?

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.
