Elon Musk, who has been blasted for policy changes since he took over Twitter, has launched a poll asking users whether he should step down as head of the social media platform. "Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll," Musk posted on Twitter. He also said, "As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it."

Musk recently suspended the accounts of half a dozen journalists from Twitter, from organizations like CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, without warning. He accused the journalists of endangering his family. However, following a similar Twitter poll, he later reinstated the accounts.
