The child king of Twitter is now polling on a "general amnesty" for ALL suspended accounts.

Apparently it's too much work to consider reviewing each piece of RW trash individually.

Of course he's polling bots, since his followers are mostly bots.

So you can expect the same outcome as his fake poll asking if he should reinstate Trump's account.

Btw, re my calling Elon Musk the child king of Twitter - see this from kpete, if you haven't already: https://democraticunderground.com/100217404487

Nobody should be on that dumb site anyway. It’s been a cesspool for years. We are giving this site so much attention when real life stuff is going on. as soon as it goes away, the better for the country and the world.

before firing 3,700 people, they are nuts. I had a right-winger tell me he only fired the people that weren't working very hard.

Apparently he’s cleared out the deadwood. All that’s left are hardworking, dedicated, top performers.

Because he was able to identify those people after a week on the job.

Which is a really, really bad metric — e.g. security people don't actually write a lot of code, they mostly audit and adjust. So the security team's number is bad and *poof* they're gone.

He also puts his polls up at odd times and doesn't leave them up very long. I still say he is using bots to his advantage to get those results too. The majority of Twitter is usually nowhere near that right wing.

he does a sham poll to get the justification to do what he wants. That's to bring the shit stirrers back on Twitter. More shit stirring, more exposure, more business for him.
