On: Elon Musk owns 9.2% of Twitter

[HWR_14]

People who hate him aren't going to vote in his Twitter poll. The sale was already required anyway

Are you saying people who hate him don't visit his Twitter or are you saying they would abstain from the poll on principle?

If the former, I disagree as it seems people do hate him, follow, and reply on the regular. Pretty much trolling.

If the latter, what makes you think those trolls wouldn't spite vote if they take the time to write toxic replies.

I love this is the nitpicky stuff people get into about Elon.

It's usually some pedantic thing like a Twitter poll.

Hacker News turns into E! news for Elon articles.

I would hope they wouldn't hate visit his twitter. But I didn't think it was a principle thing. I would imagine trust in a poll correlates with trust in the person putting on the poll. People who hated American Idol didn't hate call in options, even though they could have.

I think that's more because everyone here has a view of Elon that's mostly immutable. The minutia leads to interesting discussions (sometimes)
