All of Elon Musk’s men have been celebrating a particular tweet this fall. It reads simply, “Vox Populi, Vox Dei," and it introduced an allegedly democratic governance tool to Twitter. “The voice of the people is the voice of God," the phrase literally means.
In the weeks since the idea’s introduction, Musk had users vote on issues as diverse as reinstating @realDonaldTrump to Twitter, allowing Musk’s private jet to be tracked, and whether he should stay on as CEO of Twitter. (The results, if you’d like to know, were “yes”, “now”, and “no.”)
