Snoop Dogg has put himself up to run Twitter in a poll on the platform, with nearly one million users backing him in his bid.
The 51-year-old hip hop legend poked fun at the SpaceX and Tesla boss Elon Musk amid a turbulent takeover of the Twitter social media platform.
On Sunday night Musk asked his followers “Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll", offering people to vote either 'yes or no' in response.
More than 17.5 million people voted, 57.5% of those savagely choosing Yes, as they hoped to out the billionaire of the top position.
In a subsequent tweet, Musk wrote "As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it".
Meanwhile on Monday Snoop Dog swept in with the tweet:“Should I run Twitter ?” as he launched a poll early on Monday morning.
And with just 10 hours and counting since his tweet landed the rapper had already accumulated more than one million votes and an overwhelming “Yes” result of 81.8%.
Mr Musk is yet to comment as to whether he will definitively step down as head of Twitter. Even if he were to resign as chief executive, he would remain as Twitter's owner.
In the past Mr Musk has obeyed Twitter polls. He's fond of quoting the phrase "vox populi, vox dei", a Latin phrase which roughly means "the voice of the people is the voice of God".
Musk's latest move comes amid backlash for Twitter announcing a policy that would ban the promotion of content from other social media platforms.
"Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post," a now-deleted tweet from Twitter Support stated.
The announcement drew criticism, including from former Twitter CEO and founder Jack Dorsey, who tweeted "Why?"
Hours later, Musk seemed to apologize for the policy.
"Going forward, there will be a vote for major policy changes. My apologies. Won’t happen again," he tweeted.
Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion in October with the promise of restoring free speech on the platform.
But his tenor at the top of Twitter has seen a flurry of controversial changes not least him firing about half of its staff and attempted a rollout of Twitter's paid-for verification feature.
