More than half of 17.5 million users who responded to Elon Musk's poll on his potential resignation as Twitter CEO appeared to vote yes when the poll closed on Monday.The billionaire posted the poll on Sunday, pledging to "abide by the results".Appearing to comment on the early results that saw more than half of the respondents voting yes, Musk said in another tweet "As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it." In late October, Elon Musk finalized the $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, a US company founded in 2006 with its headquarters located in San Francisco, California. Following the takeover, Musk changed the company's day-to-day operations, including the termination of Twitter executives who were responsible for the platform's privacy, cybersecurity and censorship, as well as about two-thirds of Twitter's employees. Musk has said that a special council "with widely diverse viewpoints" would be set up to moderate the platform. Before posting the Sunday poll on his potential stepping down as head of Twitter, Musk tweeted that, from now on, "there will be a vote for major policy changes" on the social media platform.Earlier in the day, Twitter announced a new policy, banning users from linking to their accounts on other platforms. It is not known if Musk's decision to post the poll was the result of that decision, which received significant criticism from Twitter users as soon as it was announced.
