Elon Musk is not happy with the results of his latest Twitter poll.
The Big Twit himself recently said that only Twitter Blue subscribers would get to vote in polls following a Twitter user's suggestion on his latest poll.
Musk's latest poll was the one asking Twitter users if he should remain the company's CEO.
Twitter Poll Voting Exclusion Details
While Musk's poll about his staying as Twitter's CEO was ongoing, a Twitter user going by the username Kim Dotcom said that making such a poll is unwise.
According to his reply tweet, Musk is now "deep state enemy #1, and the people opposing him have the biggest bot army on Twitter with 100,000 "analysts" with 30-40 accounts all voting against him.
They recommend that Musk redoes the poll. However, Kom Dotcom wasn't the one who suggested that Musk restrict voting rights to Twitter Blue users only.
Another Twitter user who goes by the name Unfiltered Boss recommended to Musk that the only ones who can vote in policy-related polls should be Twitter Blue subscribers only - advice Musk agreed with.
"Good pont. Twitter will make that change," Musk said in a subsequent tweet.
This policy change follows Musk's defeat in the poll in question, which around 17.5 million Twitter users voted on. According to the final results, 57.5% of Twitter users said that Musk should step down, while 42.5% of them said he shouldn't.
While it is unknown when Musk will rerun the poll, many people are supporting Unfiltered Boss' idea that Twitter Blue subscribers should be the only ones who can vote on policy-related polls.
For those unaware, Twitter Blue is a paid subscription that previously allowed subscribers to try out new features on Twitter for the first time. Now, however, Twitter Blue gives anyone access to the Blue "verified" checkmark for $8 or $11 if a user signs up for the subscription on iOS.
In addition to the blue "verified" checkmark, subscribers will also see fewer ads during their use of Twitter and post longer videos.
They could even change their display name or profile photo, but doing so will make them lose their verified status until Twitter can review their profile again.
Musk's Track Record On Twitter
Musk's changes on Twitter to make it the platform that heralds "free speech" has been tumultuous. His "hardcore" work requirement and the layoffs he did at the initial onset of his takeover stripped Twitter of many of its employees, with many of them being in the company's communications and content moderation teams.
The number of employees that left was so great that many former employees believe that Twitter will soon break down on its own.
Musk also reinstated banned accounts such as Donald Trump's and Ye's without forming the content moderation council he promised.
He also suspended the accounts of journalists covering him after someone harassed his child in Los Angeles, but restored their accounts following a poll saying he should do so immediately.
He also suspended users who post links to other social media sites but removed the policy change after massive backlash.
