Oliver DarcyVox Populi, Vox Dei?
@dlenares@oliverdarcy it's a set up, man. Don't fall for it. He controls the outcome of these polls.
Igor Sovcik@oliverdarcy Question is who has to be new CEO so people consider returning to #Twitter
Steve Williams@blabberlicious @oliverdarcy won’t be fit for role since according to Musk “he must like pain and invest his life savings” 🙂
@igisho @oliverdarcy Reminded of this scene.
[Musk is playing both sides. 😂 ]
Graham@oliverdarcy What a disaster for the Musk brand. But there is a way to make a social media company profitable — offer a paywall service for all news like Apple News but combine it with interactive comment. People don’t like paywalls but newspapers have to make money. And there is a benefit to pay once and get access to all the news. The problem with Apple News is there is no interactive comment. Combining an Apple News with a Twitter would be a winner. Mastadon should do it.
amincoThis sounds like the original Twitter Blue.
JenX@oliverdarcy It was a fake poll. His handlers are reining him in. I’m still not going back. https://c.im/@msbellows/109537503031577945

Harvey O'Brien@oliverdarcy four legs good, two legs better?
Sjeel 🌟@oliverdarcy he will be replaced by someone that was already in line to replace him. This is only to save his ass at Tesla. He still can say whatever he wants with Twitter. So I don't expect improvements on decision making at the blue bird.
Nick@oliverdarcy It’s win-win for him. Either he gets to say people want him or he gets to leave which I think is what he wants anyway. And a bonus win for staying in the news cycle.
Bapplesas others have stated, this poll is a farce. he'll never truly leave.
he is the eternal god-king of twitter now.
he'll demand they build him a pyramid out of twitter serverblocks and then bury him inside. 🤷♀️
@oliverdarcy We do need to stop playing into the Elon game. he has no intention of relinquishing control. He will just put a puppet in charge and continue as he has.
Starry Starry Knight@oliverdarcy Parody account⁉️ 🤔
Ryu@oliverdarcy I immediately hear the ewoks singing at the end of ROTJ when I see this...
Steph McMaster@oliverdarcy This bogus pole gives him an out, having achieved his objective of creating a media frenzy giving new air to the fascist cause.
@oliverdarcy It will be interesting to see what happens to the growth of the vulnerable, fledgling social media alternatives after he installs a CEO who will operate in a stealthier, more insidious mode. We’ve already seen that the network effect simply has too much gravity for most major content generators to escape Twitter. I suspect that some minor reversal of their draconian policies will be enough to lull the expats back – under the ostensible delusion that the bird is worth fighting for.
