The twitter poll cannot be fully relied on. Especially if it was started by a member of "the establishment" Bots can make up a considerable portion:

And don't forget where that software of rigging elections was pioneered from: Computer programmer Clinton Eugene Curtis testifies in a Senate committee back in year 2004 about voting software he wrote that could flip any election 51/49 with whomever you wanted to win....you wouldn't know it without specific knowledge of the source code and/or the original votes that you could manually count. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEzY2tnwExs (4 min) Here is a telephone interview where Mr Curtis admits that the code is surprisingly easy to implement and customize this voter flipping software: https://youtu.be/2e4RzeqvG_M?t=407 (2 min)

So why can't this vote flipping algo be easily applied to twitter polls??? My point is that they are using polls like this to help shape opinions. Like how they initially said that the "jab" was 95% effective, then 90%, then 85%, then 50%, then the narrative continues to shift until it dies completely....then they just say "hey, just take it anyway". So they will start it off by saying Americans are split 52/48 for free speech....then it will be 50/50 split, then it will be 48/52 AGAINST free speech, then it will be 60/40, etc etc

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1593897248303513601?s=46&t=D0rjAuwjgpIjX8kBZzkrJw if you look at Elon Musk’s own Twitter the Trump poll appears to be a ploy to ferret out bot accounts. During the first few hours it was 80%+ in favor of allowing Trump back on.

They love rigging a nail biter! The documentary Hacking Democracy on HBO around 2007 proved the machines are hackable, so of course people will use this tool.

Funny thing is back then it was progressives concerned with these election hacking issues and conservatives less so. They love turning people's beliefs upside fown--like all the liberals that drive Teslas and used to love Elon but now hate him.
