Words of protest were projected onto the Twitter building in downtown San Francisco Monday night. The projectionist, a San Francisco activist named Alan Marling, says he did it after seeing CEO Elon Musk's Twitter poll.
The poll, which attracted more than 17.5 million Twitter users, resulted in 57.5% of the votes in favor of Musk stepping down and 42.5% in favor of him staying on as CEO.
Musk said he would abide by the poll results, but Monday did not post any comments giving details. Instead, he responded to a tweet that suggested only users who have paid to have blue checkmarks be allowed to vote in polls involving policy because they represent the only users "with skin in the game."This follows a week of chaos where Musk banned some journalists and mentions of competing social media sites, followed by sudden reversals and reinstatements.
"It seems like an antic or something he's doing for show rather than a strategic decision," said Chatman. "One has to wonder whether in fact what he's trying to do is simply to continue to be in the limelight and ensure that Twitter is a high-action place." "It has lost an enormous amount of value and most of that is Elon Musk's money or the money that he has borrowed to purchase Twitter," said Chatman.
