Soon after public outrage on Twitter’s “crossposting” policy, Elon Musk apologised and started a poll asking whether he should step down as the “head of Twitter,” and 57.5 per cent of citizens of Twitter, around 10 million, voted for ‘Yes.’ Since then, Musk has not tweeted anything related to this, he, however, seems to agree with a few users who point toward a bot attack. Twitter is also likely to soon come up with a new policy for polls.
On December 19, Musk began a poll asking users if he should step down as the CEO, promising he would abide by the results. Now the majority wants him to step down, and he has not said anything.
Earlier, Musk wrote “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” a Latin phrase that means “The voice of the people is the voice of God” when announcing amnesty for suspended accounts. But, this time, he does not seem to agree with what people have said.
No “Vox Populi vox Dei” for this poll
A user, Wall Street Silver, in a tweet, suggests that the bots marched the polls, as the number of votes exceeded the number of likes, and in reply to it, Musk says, “Interesting.”
Kim Dotcom, a German-Finnish Internet entrepreneur, quoted the results of Musk’s poll, saying that Musk being deemed as an enemy of the state, it is unwise of him to run such an important poll on Twitter. He says the state has the biggest bot army, and they are the ones to manipulate the results. He has advised Musk to clean up bots and run the poll again.
Everyone may not be able to vote in Twitter polls
Even though Musk did not directly agree with Kim Dotcom, he did reply to one of the replies, where a user suggested that the Blue subscribers should be the only ones allowed to vote in policy-related polls, saying, “Good point. Twitter will make that change.”
Right now, everyone Twitter user, whether a Blue subscriber or not, can vote in polls. Dotcom seems to believe that bots will not subscribe to Twitter Blue, which costs $8 and $11 on iPhone; Musk could introduce an option where only Blue subscribers would be allowed to vote, especially if it is to decide Twitter’s fate.
Are bots still active on Twitter
If there are bots who infested the polls, then Musk’s claim of Twitter being free of bots stands to be false. Earlier this month, he posted the popular meme “Grant Gustin Next To Oliver Queen’s Grave,” with his face instead of Grant Gustin, and bots on the grave, suggesting that he had killed the bots. One thing to note is that we had not got the numbers on the bot situation, something that put Elon’s acquisition of Twitter on halt.
We still await for Musk to break his silence on whether he will be stepping down or it may be ‘bot ending’.
