I noticed the views figure (larger) was in bold type, whereas the actual participation figure (minimal) was in indistinguishable pale grey.
He works every angle in order to mislead people.

Running polls on a platform you own and whose algorithm you exploit isn't really polling .... Or polling Russian style maybe

Do bots contribute to the views or doesn’t it work like that?

He does a poll within his own echo chamber. Gee, we wonder how that might turn out?

He would have had the same results if he'd asked about Tesla, while stocks collapse all over the world. #NotInMyName

I'm not even on X anymore, but while I was, I've had him blocked, as many others did.

Poor cretin is echo-chambering his needs for praises.

Musk is a hiney huffer that pays. One day, hopefully soon, he's gonna get a wiff of an ass that he doesn't ever wanna huff, and that will be his end.

Already, most of the people against Musk are not on his platform and even less following him so they have no possibility to vote.
Then, you don't know that votes are no manipulated as he has the control of the platform.

ntse.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, let's remember he has been manipulating the likes under a certain @vatniksoup.bsky.social post for ages.

I'm not on Twitter anymore but I bet the said post still has 235k likes.

The whole method is fundamentally flawed, polling for 48 hours, announcing it only to his own audience and presenting the issue in a misleading and biased way.

This so called "vote" commits all the cardinal sins of public polling. A bad faith attempt at conjuring up legitimacy where there is none.

Self serving pap from someone who needs to understand the consequences of what he has done instead of looking around his small room he's in for confirmation - stop being needy Elon.
