After a majority of respondents to one of Elon Musk's polls concluded that the Twitter CEO should step down and let someone else run the company, Musk said he plans to change the rules of who can vote.
Musk, whose affinity for Twitter polls is perhaps second only to his penchant for tweeting memes, on Sunday asked users if he should step down as CEO of Twitter, saying he would abide by the results. A majority of respondents — 57% of the 17 million who voted— answered that he should.
Shortly after, Musk tweeted: "As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it."
Among his many polls, Musk had previously run a vote on whether to reinstate former President Donald. The "yes" vote won, with 51.8%.

...""There is no successor"
He later tweeted, "No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor."
Twitter last week banned a number of accounts that track celebrity private jets using publicly available information, including the popular account ElonJet, which specifically tracked Musk's private plane.
Musk claimed that such activity amounted to doxxing, or revealing identifying details about a person. Soon after, Twitter blocked links to rival social media websites, including Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Tribel, Nostr, Post and former President Donald Trump's Truth Social. Twitter gave no explanation for why the blacklist included those seven websites but not others such as Parler, TikTok or LinkedIn.
Twitter said it would temporarily suspend accounts that include the banned websites in their profile, but the practice is so widespread it would have affected millions of Twitter users around the world."...
