"putting up polls where he’s already made the decision and knows the vote will just confirm it. Why do people keep falling for it? "

Except that he did comment those other staged polls with "Vox Populi Vox Dei" pretty much right away and put it into action vs. not commenting and no action on this one.

And he said many things, also that there will be no CEO on Twitter at all. But yes, he never intended to remain CEO - otherwise he would have never did the poll in the first place, but he definitely has no clear plan, he drives on sight. (And yes, in either case, he still owns Twitter.)

And "stepping down" translates to asking whether he was running Twitter well. And the people said "no".

Why would he want that?

What would be the benefit, if it was his plan, to make people wanting him go? You really think there is a great plan behind it?

The only vague thing might be to create an image of an reasonable emperor who listen to the people, even if it is unpleasant. But so far he does not really show the grandeur fitting that role.
