A recent poll conducted by Elon Musk on the X platform has shown Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump leading his Democratic rival Kamala Harris by a significant margin. The poll, which garnered over 5.8 million votes, saw Trump receive 73.2% of the support, while Harris trailed behind with 26.8%.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, revealed the results of the poll on X, stating that the American people have “overwhelming support” for Trump. The poll’s findings have sparked a significant buzz, particularly given that Trump is also leading on Polymarket.
The results of the poll are notable, as they contradict nationwide polls that have shown Harris leading Trump in the ongoing presidential campaign. However, some users on the X platform have questioned the validity of the poll, suggesting that it may be skewed due to Musk’s far-right follower base.
Despite this, the poll’s results are likely to be seen as a blow to Harris’s campaign, which has been struggling to gain momentum in recent weeks. According to a recent NY Times poll, Harris’s winning bets stood at 49%, while Trump’s stood at 47%.
The crypto industry has been a key area of focus for both candidates, with Trump initially taking a pro-crypto stance and Harris facing backlash for her perceived false promises to the sector. Industry veterans have been skeptical of Harris’s claims, with Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson stating that he has “zero” trust in her promises.
Meanwhile, Trump has been rumored to be considering offering Musk a cabinet role, sparking further discussions across the broader landscape. The move would likely be seen as a bid to win over the support of the crypto industry, which has been a key demographic in the presidential campaign.
