@mcfate it seems ridiculous to trust a poll when then are tons of sock accounts.

For that reason he probably should step down.

@mcfate spot on…

It’s curious someone so insulated from the real world would choose to arbitrate social media much less use silly polls. I suspect it is to save face.

@Museek

Well, this isn't saving him any face. It's making him look weak, and like some sort of an out-of-touch boob.

It's pretty clear to me the man's got a near-terminal case of Dunning-Kruger Syndrome.

@mcfate I meant in that he doesn’t want the job and this is his easy way out. He gets to look like he’s being Democratic and transparent by β€œabiding” by polls that are easily undermined.

@mcfate true… I hadn’t thought about that.

Three card monte. Who controls the poll and the "results?"

@rdwilson @Museek

Why would I ever believe this person PLANS anything as opposed to simply DOING things? Please tell me.

I mean, the dude's causing problems for himself with the FTC and the EU, he's already got the NHTSA and the California DMV looking into his "fully self-driving" shit, and HE'S fucking around being a troll on Twaffle.

This sounds like a rational actor to you?

@Museek @rdwilson

This is the guy who got fined $20 million and forced out of being Tesla's chairman, and put under sanctions by the SEC for making a super-dumb DOPE joke.

This is the guy the "Paypal Mafia" paid not to be their pal any more after he completely screwed up their credit card plans by handing them out like they were trading cards and stuck his organization with a 50% chargeback rate.

@mcfate @rdwilson

Ugh… I remember the early days of PayPal.. many should have sued for how much they screwed up things.

@mcfate @Museek

He controls the poll because he has already made a decision. The "people have spoken" gambit (he thinks) makes him look good. In his eyes he is a benevolent monarch.

@rdwilson @Museek

An assumption that's lacking in evidence. Especially since, were he doing that, someone would be certain to leak that information.

"Elmo's an idiot and there's no plan" has a LOT fewer moving parts.
