Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who recently joined the social media platform's board of directors after acquiring a 9.2% stake in the company, asked the question to his 81.2 million followers late Saturday with a nod to how Twitter is still allowing employees to work remotely.
"Convert Twitter SF HQ to homeless shelter since no one shows up anyway," he tweeted along with a poll prompting people to click"Y" for yes or"N" for no.Nearly 12 hours after the 24-hour poll was posted, more than 1.1 votes had been cast. More than 91% of respondents voted in favor of the shelter.
