Over 5.8 million participated in Musk's unscientific poll, with 73% backing Trump.
Musk’s X poll shows overwhelming support for Trump, leading Harris by 46.4%.
Republican candidate Donald Trump is said to be the beneficiary, based on the recent ‘unscientific poll’ instituted by American entrepreneur Elon Musk in X. Participation in this poll garnered over 5.8 million users of the company's service. 73.2% of the voters chose Donald Trump over his Democratic counterpart, Kamala Harris, who managed only 26.8% of the votes.
Musk Emphasizes Trump’s Support
Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk discussed the poll results in a recent post on X. He noted the strong support for Trump, which differs from the national polling trends, where Harris is observed to have a slim lead. Nevertheless, Musk’s poll has its demerits too.

Some X users have criticized the poll by saying it only represents Musk’s most conservative followers rather than a crosssection of Americans. Nevertheless, the poll attracted much attention, mainly from the audience of people interested in cryptocurrencies, which has proved its feasibility.
Debate Over Poll’s Validity
This poll has been criticized for being nonscientific and only including Musk’s followers, who will likely support the idea. It is claimed that the presented data may not reflect the public’s opinion, as many participants are representatives of the crypto industry who will support Trump's positive approach to cryptocurrency.
This is because the poll is said to be influenced massively by the crypto community. On the other hand, Kamala Harris has drawn much criticism from the crypto world regarding her approach to crypto policies.
Other critics of Harris’s framework include industry insiders such as Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, who has openly expressed his lack of confidence in Harris’s work and has gone as far as to call for the resignation of Gary Gensler of the SEC.
Kamala Harris vs. Trump
The narrow margins in the race underscore the complexities of the current political landscape, where public sentiment appears to be divided and heavily influenced by specific platforms and demographics. However, the disparity between these poll results reflects both candidates' challenges as they navigate a rapidly changing political environment.
These dynamics indicate that the battle in the 2024 presidential election is likely to be tightening. Additionally, the divergent polls show that voters' preferences will likely change as Donald Trump and Harris increase their campaigns.
Since the political process continues to intensify, factors such as the perceptions of general citizens, particularly those on the technology side, and voters will determine the results in the coming election.
