He started putting polls for things like Twitter Blue, other "governance polls", and eventually, on whether he should resign as CEO. He responded to the result of every poll with "vox populi, vox dei" (Latin: The voice of the people is the voice of God) when it went his way, except the poll for him to step down went against him.

He has not stepped down and he stopped doing the polls.

This is the opposite of what I asked.

I asked what spurred it. Your comment is what happened after it.

He is no longer CEO, not that it actually makes a difference.

He banned the jet tracker, so people began moving to mastodon to track his jet after mastodon's Twitter account posted a link to the jet tracker on Mastodon. In response, musk banned mastodon's Twitter account and also made it against policy to post any links to non-Twitter social media sites on Twitter. This decision was hated by everyone and the first poll was wether to keep it or roll back.

And people voted to roll it back, and then Elon like "oops, I didn't set the bots up properly, let's vote again."

What a loser.
