Worked out perfect (assuming organic, which in my uneducated guess I would think it is). Enough no votes to provide a clear mandate to leave, but enough yes votes to indicate popularity and support for him. Great way to walk away from a zugzwang situation with head held high. If only Trump would have the personal ability and self awareness to do something like this.
Or it was a massive ego check and he had a very rude awakening being told on a platform he owns that he stinks.

Many of the Yes votes are not an opinion on his performance at Twitter, they are Tesla shareholders who want Elon to focus on Tesla instead of Twitter.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Was that 1 or 2 million of the votes?

Will need to rewrite the narrative.
I think he meant what he wrote, he just flipped the no and yes.

I think it's pretty clear the Musk knew that he would get voted out.

That is fine, but you avoided both questions. I am just trying to understand the goalpost members are using because they keep moving.

Sorry, I didn't mean to avoid any questions. I thought the answers were implicit in my comment.

That is his Facebook account?

No, he's linking to the Facebook account of an account that was banned from Twitter for doxxing

If not is that the standard you are using, that anything someone posts or reposts they are responsible for?

Posting a link to doxxing is the same as posting the doxxing, what's the difference? Of course that should be the standard. Someone should only be banned for posting child pornography if they post it on Twitter but not if they post a link to another site that's hosting it? That's absurd.

I am not disagreeing. I just want the ground rules to be clear when we are having these discussions.
I don't want to hear going forward: He didn't tweet that, it was a retweet. Meaning he is not responsible for it.

Don’t be mean, in many (not all) ways he has a tougher crowd than you do.

LOL

Comparing DD to EM is funny.

He has concerns daily of assassination attempts on his family.

His life is a waking nightmare IMO.

BH there is no comparison.

My point is narratives can be told however you want to tell them.

He has created massive problems in the little time he has been in charge. Only clouds on the horizon. He needs to focus on Tesla.
Likely not. Twitter was loosing loads of money day 1. He had to fire lots of people and if you look at tik tok video's most were doing nothing all day.

There are TikTok videos of most of the fired employees? Or you saw 3 videos of people appreciating the perks of their jobs and extrapolating?

Mistakes:
1 - Overpaying for a company losing loads of money.
2 - Thinking you can solve that by firing people needed to run the company.
3 - Losing advertisers by the boatload creating a bigger money issue.
4 - Changing rules daily making yourself look foolish.
4 - Creating stupid polls on who is running the company. Makes you look incompetent.

Can the next Twitter files be live reports of what's going on there right now?

No as EM has a political agenda.

Aaron rupar reposts decontextulized clips of right wing media to Twitter. That's his entire game.
That's why @CountValentine thinks he knows how Aaron Rupar is.
