Former US President and Republican nominee Donald Trump has significantly outperformed his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, in an online poll initiated by billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter).
Harris received her party's official nomination earlier this month after President Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election, subsequently choosing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.
On Tuesday, Musk stated, “Since a lot of people have asked, here goes a super unscientific poll.”
As of Wednesday, the poll results showed that among the 5.8 million votes cast, nearly 75% of participants indicated they would vote for Trump in the upcoming election, while just over 25% expressed their support for Harris.
Last week, Musk interviewed Trump on his X Spaces platform, where they participated in an “unscripted” conversation with “no limits,” according to Musk. The interview has since attracted over 275 million views.
Trump later expressed to Reuters that he would consider Musk for a position in his administration, saying, “If he would do it, I certainly would. He’s a brilliant guy.”
Musk responded on X that he is “willing to serve.”
During the interview, Trump referred to Harris as “third rate,” “incompetent,” and a “left lunatic.” In response, the Harris campaign condemned Trump’s “extremism and dangerous agenda,” criticizing “self-obsessed rich guys who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.” Musk noted that the livestream experienced significant technical difficulties due to a large-scale DDoS (dedicated denial of service) attack.
Current polling averages reported by The New York Times show that as of Wednesday, Harris is leading Trump by two percentage points in two pivotal swing states: Wisconsin and Michigan. Meanwhile, Trump has a four-point lead in Georgia. In Arizona and Pennsylvania, both candidates are nearly tied, according to the newspaper’s polling data.
