On Tuesday, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, conducted an informal poll on X (formerly Twitter) asking users whether they preferred Kamala Harris or Donald Trump for the next US President. Musk described the poll as “unscientific” but initiated it due to popular demand.
Key points from the poll:
– It attracted over 3.4 million votes, with Trump receiving 75.2% and Harris 24.8%.
– The post reached approximately 28.8 million views and was shared around 74,000 times.
– Responses varied, with some users asking for additional candidates like Robert F. Kennedy.
According to a recent Roanoke College poll cited by The Washington Post, Kamala Harris is slightly ahead of Trump at 47% compared to his 44%. Many voters perceive Trump as a potential threat to democracy.
On August 13, Musk interviewed Trump in a session described as ‘unscripted’, where Trump criticized Harris’s immigration policies, stating the Biden administration has failed to secure the border, claiming there are 20 million illegal immigrants in the US.
