Let us not forget that many, many twitter users are NOT American.
We are infiltrated daily through these social media sites by millions of socialist loving Europeans, Asians, etc.
Never forget that.
Elon should ban VPN connections and make it mandatory to post a country flag next to each username showing where each person is from. This should help make it easier to dismiss foreign propaganda.

Banning VPN connections would render Twitter unusable. Everyone should be using a VPN to at least attempt to keep their internet connection from prying eyes.
As for the foreign propaganda the vast majority of it is emanating from Washington D.C.
I am a heavy advocate of VPN use myself, however, in the case of a service that the government ghouls seem to place so much weight on-likely due to the depth of infiltration-I think an exception could be made perhaps for a week or so just to see just how many active users whom are not American citizens are regularly trying to influence our decisions and direction.
I think it would really blow many minds to see just how many positions of influence non-Americans hold online. YouTube moderators, Reddit moderators, forum moderators, etc. in my experience tend to be largely European citizens who read and write English well and are obsessed with American culture.
We DO indeed have a massive free speech crisis in western culture, however a Twitter poll is probably the worst place to go for a balanced sampling of the overall society, perhaps especially on an issue like this one.
Twitter is likely to be very heavily stacked with morally-pompous, shouty lunatics. The format is built for people who just *need* to share their opinions with the world, constantly, so the user base is stacked toward higher traits of narcissism than the public baseline. Then you add in the fact that the legacy user base inherited by Elon (the one being polled in this case) have enjoyed Twitter mostly as a 'purist' lefty-liberal echo chamber for many years. So again, the deck is stacked toward the annoying-school-prefect attitudes that they think they know best, and should get to speak and decide on behalf of everyone. Of course a good chunk of them don't want Trump to speak тАФ he says things they don't like, and he mocks moral pomposity quite remorselessly.
Such people annoy the heck out of most normal folk. They are NOT a majority. Not yet anyway. They just *seem* to be because they're the types that are most likely to grab the megaphones and starting screaming into them, and broadly speaking our media and political culture has allowed that for a number of years.

Yes, I came here to make that point too.

Perfectly said, thank you!
Yes, and I assume that every member of the vast army of bots also has a vote. And doubtless used it.
