Twitter’s owner Elon Musk has asked users on the platform to vote on his future as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Musk tweeted to his 122 million followers “Should I step down as head… I will abide by the results…”
It comes as Twitter says it will shut down accounts solely designed to promote other social media platforms.
The measure would also affect accounts that link off to or contain usernames from platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post, the company said in a tweet.
Musk, who also runs Tesla and Space X bought the company in October after a major legal battle.
“We recognize that many of our users are active on other social media platforms. However, we will no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms on Twitter.

“Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post.”
Examples of possible violations could include tweets such as “follow me @username on Instagram” or “check out my profile on Facebook – facebook.com/username”, twitter said in a blog setting out the details.
The billionaire’s approach to content moderation has also been criticised, with some civil liberties groups accusing him of taking steps that will increase hate speech and misinformation.
