The most prominent among the numerous responses to the poll was Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal’s. “The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully,” he tweeted.
Musk revealed his stake in Twitter shortly after his tweet questioning Twitter’s commitment to free speech and asking the users if a new platform was needed.
“Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?,” he tweeted.
“Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy. What should be done?” Musk said, adding, “Is a new platform needed?”
