Musk actually ran a poll already, but the people got the wrong answer (unban now). So he's running another poll.

> Sorry, too many options. Will redo poll.

The previous poll was bad because 3x of them were basically "No" and 1x was "Yes"

New poll is heavily leaning yes regardless

The new poll also has a 24 hour timer, so 'now' is effectively a 1 day ban. I kind of suspect the length of time has other motivations (but that's really just me being cynical).
No that's a fair criticism since it says "Now"

This is 2022 Twitter-brained audience, now doesn't mean 24hrs these days.

In his new poll the majority are saying to unban the accounts now:

The new poll has finished with "unban now" winning with 59%
And the new poll has finished with "unban now" winning with 59%
It's the opposite. In that first poll 52.5% of people voted for a 7 day ban or longer.

The new poll with just two options is going the other way (unsuspend now). Having just two options is the right call here.
