Elon Musk Breaks Silence After Twitter Users Vote for His ResignationElon Musk sheepishly returned to Twitter Monday evening after a fairly quiet day, having spent most of the previous 24 hours in silence after creating a poll in which users voted for him to resign as CEO of the company.
Musk had not released a public statement per se, but began his return by engaging with convicted fraudster Kim Dotcom.
The internet personality had floated a baseless claim that the so-called deep state rigged the Twitter poll. Tweeting at @ElonMusk directly, DotCom claimed the U.S. government runs the biggest bot army on Twitter and offered the billionaire some advice: lets clean up and then run this poll again. Musk simply commented: Interesting.

Lesson Musk learned: Perhaps, only paid subscribers should be allowed to vote in Twitter polls.
