According to a US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing spotted by CNBC, Musk now owns 9.2 percent of the social network. Musk criticized the social media site last week for failing to adhere to free speech principles.
Musk has over 80 million followers on the platform, but it has brought him trouble. The SEC lawsuit that cost him $20 million and his spot as chairman of the board was the result of him using his social media to announce that he had secured funding to take the company private. Musk said that the SEC overstepped its authority. He wants a federal judge to end his agreement that requires a lawyer to vet some of his social media posts.
He also mused about the idea of starting his own social media platform, saying he was giving it.
The consequences of the poll will be important, and that prediction was made by Musk. He could potentially increase his stake in the social network. According to CNBC, the shares of the micro-blogging site have surged more than 25 percent in premarket trading.
