I recall Elon saying he wanted to unban Trump as far back as May, so I see the poll as just another example of his fake 'power to the people' rhetoric.

  I would be more inclined to believe this was Musk pointing out that the vast majority of people were ok with Trump being on twitter and he has the backing of the users of the site.

    The "vast majority" being people who spend their weekend on twitter and follow Elon Musk. The poll didn't matter one iota. Elon would've made a big shitpost if it failed then he would've gone ahead in a few days/weeks.

      Did you take my post to be including ethiopians who have no internet and are starving? I don't think many people are going to be shocked by the idea that I meant the vast majority of people on twitter, you know, those people twitter is catering to?

        No, I'm criticizing the polling technique. A short window on a weekend, and directed at people who follow Musk. It has the same faults as letting legislators pick their constituents (districting).

          Your argument is that throwing a poll up on a website during the time that most people are not working is the same as gerrymandering. good luck with that.

            You've badly missed the point of the people you replied to in this thread.
