The microblogging and social networking service company, Twitter owner Elon Musk started a poll on Monday asking users if he should quit as head of the company.

Elon Musk has launched a Twitter poll asking users if he should step down as head of the company, after a backlash to a new policy banning the promotion of accounts on rival platforms.

Elon Musk shared a Tweet saying, “Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.”

As of early Monday morning, the poll had nearly received 10.5 million votes, with users voting 56.3-43.7 percent for Musk to go.

Elon Musk also added in another Tweet saying, “Going forward, there will be a vote for major policy changes. My apologies. Won’t happen again.”

The poll came after the company’s announcement that it would no longer allow the “free promotion” of other social media platforms sparked a backlash among users.

Twitter also said in a statement that users would no longer be allowed to post usernames and links to accounts for several other social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and Mastodon.

Musk completed his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter Inc on October 4. Post the Musk takeover the company laid off employee close to 50% or 3500 employees. The company also fired the majority of its over 200 employees in India as part of mass layoffs across the globe ordered 

Among Musk’s first moves: changing the leadership. Departures include Twitter Chief Executive Officer Parag Agrawal; Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal, policy, and trust; Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, who joined Twitter in 2017; and Sean Edgett, who has been general counsel at Twitter since 2012, according to people familiar with the matter.

Edgett was escorted out of the building, said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public.
