Do you know whether there were any bots voting or not or are you just guessing that there was ?

Just sticking with what the owner of Twitter has said regarding the amount of bots on the platform. And he should know, right?

You could hardly be more wrong if the discussion is about whether a poll is statistically valid. If it's just about vote totals, then it might be a valid total. Or it might be due to that 20% of bots or more that Musk claimed were contaminating Twitter

And on his personal account he claims:

Twitter is just fine. It's the best source for breaking news there is. That includes Thai news, which is faster more thorough and detailed than anything you get, for example, on Aseannow. Even if a story makes it to AN, it's usually hours after the event, sometimes days. I know that I look for both local Thai news and international news on Twitter first. Most of my focus and interest has migrated there. Elon Musk is now running Twitter with 50 people doing the job 7500 were doing before. There's a billion dollars right there.

If you can tell me how reinstating Trump on Twitter is going to make it more thorough and detailed, I'm all ears. His tweets border on incoherent.

According to what I am reading in non-social media, Musk's ban on working from home has had to be rescinded because too many staff were pulling the plug.

I am not involved with Facebook or Twitter. IMO Facebook is for narcissists, and Twitter is for twits.

You're slowly getting there.  Why not say 10 million fakes?  Why not say all of them?

 

Once again, what are the safeguards at Twitter to prevent this from happening?

10m now? So just making up numbers. Its possible 5m fakes voted against then.

 

Guess you never thought of that.

I think it's great he's back. He is becoming more and more unhinged. One might use the 'technical' term is that he's batsh!t crazy.  The more exposure he gets, the more anyone sane will move away from him. Sure, he'll keep the Incels, QAnon crowd, some fanatical christians and white supremacists, but they cannot carry an election.

 

The bloated mendacious traitor is in a political death spiral right now, and letting his increasingly crazed mind spew nonsense on a public forum will hasten his decline. Molon labe!

 

He's a spent force and a loser. He was always an embarrassment to rational people, but now his Party knows he's poison to their Party. He lost the House, Senate and White House to the Dems in 2020, and he nearly lost the House again, while losing the Senate again and several Governor slots and SecStates. If he barks about the GA Senate runoff, he'll lose that seat, too. Losing is what he does best, in business and in politics.

 

Give him all the rope he needs to hang himself and get it over with. Then finish him off for good with an indictment, trial conviction, and execution for capital offenses.

OK, do tell me how many Bots voted in the poll ?

So you maintain that the Twitter poll/vote you have so much faith in was free and fair?  No bots, no multiple accounts held by the same person, no Russian trolls who would like to see a return of Trump, etc.  What are the safeguards to prevent that from happening?

I would expect its within 10 or 15% margin of error. Given Twitter is mostly young 80%+ and mostly left Trump getting 51.8% did well.

 

It is possible 5m votes were fake. Could be 4m fake against him.

 

Of course being biased you dont want to accept that.

I think you know in 45 world, polls and elections are only fair when you win.

 

I do think even Dems want him back, knowing he'll shoot himself in the foot, which is in his mouth, while his head is up his thoot.

I could but I won't as that's not what you claimed which was "Bots don't vote in polls though" so I'll wait for you to substantiate that.

Hate speech attacks minorities, not individuals. You're confused.

 

What is hate speech?

 

There are laws against saying things in all countries. But could they be considered 'hate speech'?

I never claimed there were 10 million fake voters same as I never claimed the poll isn't a real one, you can check what I did claim though if you read my posts and want to respond to those claims instead

The reasons this isn't a valid poll has been outlined so many times that only the dimmest of bulbs would need a repeat.

Irrelevant question to the statements made.

You quoted polls from 1 and 2 years ago that had nothing to do with Twitter ie off topic.

 

What kind of bulb is that?

Still waiting for a link to your claim. While your at it check what else they can do if you are so interested.

Would you rather if photographic ID was required to vote in his poll?

Funny how the left only support voting when they win. Lose it's Russia or bots voting 5555

Trump was banned from Twitter for not accepting the election result , now some people are not accepting the poll result to allow him back on .

   Should the people who don't accept the poll result also be banned from Twitter ?
