Dogecoin (DOGE) Tumbles Following Elon Musk’s Twitter Poll About Stepping Down As Twitter CEO

Elon Musk has been met with heavy criticism from the start of his tenure as CEO of one of the world’s most popular social media platforms. It also had an impact on Elon Musk’s preferred cryptocurrency, dogecoin, which saw a significant decline over the past several days. 

On Sunday, Elon Musk tweeted a poll asking whether or not he should step down as CEO of Twitter; almost 57.5% of the 16.3 million votes polled were in favor of his resignation. Although Musk stated he would follow the poll’s findings, it is uncertain whether or not he will really do so.

Concerns are being raised regarding the billionaire’s other companies due to the management at Twitter. His choices are often questioned, whether from mass layoffs or recent policy changes.

On December 18th, Twitter said that it would remove accounts created solely to promote other social media sites and material that contains links or usernames. However, the post is currently not available.

According to a post, the change will affect material from social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram from Meta Platforms as well as Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr, and Post while permitting cross-content publishing.

Since Elon Musk became CEO, Twitter has taken other chaotic actions, like see-sawing over how much to charge for its subscription service Twitter Blue. The policy change is the latest in this line of behavior. 

Nevertheless, after receiving criticism, Musk apologized for the sudden policy change earlier on Sunday and said major policy changes would be put to the vote going ahead.
