What will happen to twitter now? Speculation in America
After Elon Musk's defeat in his own twitter poll (Elon Musk twitter Poll), now the doubts about the future of twitter have deepened. twitter owner Musk has previously commented that his company is on the verge of bankruptcy. On Sunday, he conducted a poll among twitter users asking whether he should step down as head of the company. About 17.5 crore people took part in the voting. 57.7 percent of them expressed the opinion that Musk should be removed.
In his tweet with the start of the survey on Sunday, Musk had said that whatever the result of the poll would be, he would follow it. Since this announcement by Musk, the owner of several big companies including electric car maker Tesla, Twitter's stock prices have declined. twitter has been in controversy since Musk bought the company. As soon as the company came in hand, they started bringing back people who were already banned on this social media platform. There is a perception in America that this is helping the far right forces. This opinion is believed to have led to an overwhelming majority of left-leaning Democratic party supporters voting against Musk.

Just before this vote, the newspaper New York Times alleged in one of its editorials that Musk and his colleagues have made twitter an anti-leftist media. On the other hand, the newspaper The Washington Post said in an analysis that Republican leaders have gained tens of thousands of new followers since Musk's hand over twitter, while the number of followers of Democratic leaders on twitter has decreased.

A report by the website Axios.com said that since Musk came into ownership, there has been an atmosphere on twitter against mainstream media journalists. While anti-establishment right wing discussions have gained prominence. It has been mentioned in this report that a newly launched new media company - The Free press got 1.25 lakh followers on twitter within ten days. It is said that the trend of this company is right wing.

Last week, there was a stir in America's liberal circles when Musk banned several journalists from New York Times, Washington Post and CNN from Twitter. His ban was lifted two days later, but it raised the issue of Twitter's treatment of the liberal media.

According to analysts, the right-wing media in America is getting more popularity anyway. Joe Rogan's podcast, especially popular with conservative listeners, has become the most-listened-to podcast of the second half of 2022, according to Edison Research, which conducts research on listenership numbers. Right-wing commentator Ben Shapiro's podcast is trending at number seven. Meanwhile, Twitter's right-wing turn has also led to uneasiness in the liberal circles of America.

Meanwhile, Musk got a poll done about himself. Speculations are still rife about where twitter will go after his defeat in that.
