Before posting the poll, Musk had vowed to conduct polls before “major policy changes” and apologized for not doing so previously.
Major change has been the theme at the social media giant, with a revamp of the Twitter blue check currently underway. Musk has made headlines recently for restoring access to Twitter accounts for previously banned users such as James O’Keefe but also for temporarily suspending several reporters for allegedly “doxxing” him by publishing the whereabouts of his private jet.
