As far as I'm concerned it's already there. 70% of respondents wanted Alex Jones unbanned.

If you believe Elron didn’t just make up whatever results he wanted. I watched it and the ratio didn’t change at all in the last 800,000 votes, which seems a little weird.

Trust nothing from Musky. Its either lies, stock manipulation or lies.

It's not like that poll goes to everyone, it goes to musk's followers first and foremost.

Musk's posts go to everyone I'm pretty sure. Many people unfollowed him and he didn't like that, so now you get his excretes whether you want to or not.

That is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard.
