Elon Musk asks Twitter users whether he should step down as chief executive via IrishTimesBiz
The move comes after Twitter earlier on Sunday announced a new policy banning users from sharing links to their accounts on rival platforms, including Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook and Instagram, as well as emerging Twitter rival Mastodon, Donald Trump’s Truth Social, plus Tribel, Nostr and Post.
“Twitter should be easy to use, but no more relentless free advertising of competitors. No traditional publisher allows this and neither will Twitter,” Mr Musk said on the platform earlier on Sunday. In a separate tweet, he wrote: “Going forward, there will be a vote for major policy changes. My apologies. Won’t happen again.”
Sunday’s policy change drew scrutiny from some of Mr Musk’s supporters in Silicon Valley including former Andreessen Horowitz partner Balaji Srinivasan, who wrote: “This is a bad policy and should be reversed. The right way to compete is to build a better product, not to restrict the use of your product.”
