If the answer is 'yes', it's not a rigged poll and he abides by it then I don't envy whoever will be in the drivers seat with Elon as backseat driver and most powerful user of the platform.

I suspect the answer could be yes and still be what Elon wants. Elon does something spectacularly unpopular then throws this poll up. While I don't think this is 4d chess I think this might be on purpose. I suspect he wants out and to save face publicly. This way he can claim to his supporter that he is the good guy and simply abiding by the will of the people. Not that he got in over his head and had to bail before drowning.

The first thing any new CEO of Twitter should do as a litmus test of their freedom to act would be to ban Musk. If that sticks Twitter might regain some trust. Plenty of stuff Musk has done in the last couple of weeks would be bannable offences by their own TOS.

It doesn't matter if it's rigged. My bet is, Elon is tired of this mess by now and wants to resign — this is just a way of looking good on the way out.
