Of course he knows what the results will be. He owns twitter. He has all the admin passwords to the server that runs the poll. The admins that run the server answer to him. The result of this poll will be whatever Elon Musk wants it to be.
- knighthack 4y agoThat's just silly. Passwords are stored encrypted. No way would they be able to even know what the passwords are, even if they know who the users are.
- Rury 4y agoNot at all. You don't even need other people's passwords or accounts to fake a poll. Just admin rights to the server, or a bunch of bots.
- exodust 4y agoImplausible conspiracy. Email to the admins: "Hey guys I'd like the results of the poll to be the following..." No chance. Interesting side note: Here in Australia this morning on the ABC public broadcaster's national News channel, one of the presenters said "if you hate Elon Musk, vote yes"... encouraging the mostly left-leaning ABC viewers to log on and vote Musk out. The poll will get swamped by this politically divisive Musk-hating recruitment drive, which is why the results stand as they are.
- hristov 4y agoDoesn't have to be an email. He can tell them in person. I am sure after all the layoffs he has found some engineers that are obedient/scared enough.
