Elon Musk became the new owner of social media platform Twitter in October last year. And since then, he has introduced a number of changes to the platform.
Some of these include firing top Twitter executives, laying off hundreds of employees, and launching a number of features to boost the company’s revenue. Now, the billionaire has asked users on the microblogging platform if the default color of the application should change from white to black.
Mr. Musk added a poll to his post on Sunday morning (India time) and asked, “Change default platform color to black” and gave users two emojis as options – black and white heart emoji.
Within an hour, the poll received 2.24 lakh votes with 76.3 percent of people in favor of the change of color and 23.8 percent against it. In another tweet, Mr. Musk wrote, “This is important”.

“How much energy could be saved globally if dark mode was on every user’s device,” said a user.
“YES! White is blinding,” said another person.
Another person stated, “I think it would be an interesting change if in the settings we could set it to only see tweets from verified accounts when we scroll through the Twitterverse, to make it easier for verified accounts to find each other and support verified. Rather than coming upon them by chance.”
“Bizarrely, I use dark mode everywhere else, but for some reason prefer white mode Twitter. just feels right,” remarked a person.
“I’m just used to it being White on the desktop and I’ve got it set to black for the phone (for nighttime viewing). But I see I’m in the minority!” said a fifth person.

A person also added, “I use dark mode but specific people like light mode and it should stay like it is tbh.”
