Mike DunfordElon is running a Twitter poll to see if he should stay or go.
It's received nearly 6 million votes.
He's losing by about 15 points.
He paid 44 billion dollars for this opportunity.
hybrid havoc@questauthority If he loses, do we actually expect him to honor it?
Dan@hybridhavoc @questauthority I genuinely think he has already decided to step down. Primarily because he is being forced to by Tesla.
That doesn't stop him from being a thin-skinned arse who makes capricious decisions. Now he just gets to blame someone else for every one of his failures.
K`Tetch@Danielsand @hybridhavoc @questauthority I don't think it's tesla forcing it.
There's two options in my head.
1) tesla stock price is now at 150, odds are that's the call price for his loans. So he's doing this to try and maybe give the bank a reason to not call the loans.

2) he was at the game, and photographed with one of his investors. That investor suggested maybe someone else would be better running it, "someone like jamal khashoggi, what ever happened to him again... oh yeah. Socks when that happens doesn't it? Now what was I saying, oh yeah, I think twitter needs a new head"
Or somthing like that. And this is his way to save face with his vox populai bullshit.

@ktetch @hybridhavoc @questauthority
I agree he is using the poll to save face. But disagree on him doing this because he isn't forced. I think the evidence points to both the board and the biggest shareholders forcing his hand.
There have bene repeated public outcry by some of the biggest shareholders. He has been flying like crazy lately. I won't be surprised if he has personally visited the top 5 shareholders begging them to not force him to exit.
@ktetch @hybridhavoc @questauthority
Gotcha. I misunderstood. sorry.
No idea if he is a shareholder or not. .
@Danielsand @hybridhavoc @questauthority well, at least indirectly, via the wealth fund or somthing.
