Most likely musk will ignore the poll because his ego can't handle it, and he'll just change the rules in some way. There is plenty of precedent for this. He may not but that is where the odds lie if Vegas had a line on this.

He is still ignoring the outcome of that vote. What a fucking pussy.
You expected honesty and truth from a snake oil salesman? The guy has an ego larger than most of the solar system No way he will ever admit to do something he is told...

Why should he accept the results? It’s not like all the people who voted pay for Twitter. Maybe he should do it again but only with the people who pay him… that’ll ensure unbiased results.
He is the one that setup the rules and made the claim that he'd follow the results. Not our fault that is a stupid way to run a business, but that is what happens when your company is ran by a teenager.

I saw a theory on TYT that he put up that poll just to save face when he steps down under pressure from Saudi and Qatari investors, who he's looking for more money from (one condition of getting more money was that he leaves the CEO role). Could make sense.

Because he said he would honor the result. Why should anyone accept his word for anything ever again then?

Well, he didn't ignore it. He said that only $8 blue checks can vote on policy related polls. So I'm assuming that means he's thrown out the results. Like any good dictator wannabe would do.
I cant find that statement?

Well he did release the poll Sunday and where was he earlier that day? In Qatar hanging out in the luxury box with a bunch of his Qatari and Saudi peeps .... and Jared of course.


Oh and a sanctioned Russian journalist propagandist, because what the hell.

Why would you have accepted anything he said at this point anyway? He spent the entire last year not honoring the shit he was spewing. And he spent years before that doing that regularly except when it was was the most moronic asshole thing he could do (like him paying private investigators to try and smear the cave diver to try and justify calling him a pedophile).

I mean, damn dude, you really seem to have a recurring issue with stuff like this.

You are welcome. I love discussion and really try to be reasonable in my responses. One of the advantages I have is access to a ton of medical literature and databases. The general population does not have ready access to this time. The article above is freely available through JAMA, but I suspect that was because it has pretty widespread implications. It does indeed reference 37 other articles, but getting access to all of them would be a challenge without institutional access. Same with the cited articles. It then doesn't come as a surprise that many have not heard of these, primarily because they can be behind a paywall. It's a fault of how the journal system is set up. Journals need subscribers and articles, but the good ones know they can't just take garbage research because they will lose subscribers. Peer reviewers do a surprisingly good job of being very critical of research.

Having said all that, I love answering honest questions. There are a lot of questions out there and a lot of frustration, anger and just bitterness. It's frustrating on my part because I get viewed as "less than" or a "mental illness." I also happen to have an incredible support group from family, work, friends and church. I also happen to be able to be a voice for an incredibly vulnerable population. I advocate for appropriate medical care and I tend to be relatively conservative with my approach to transgender issues. At the same time, I also recognize I don't have all the answers.

I will offer what I offer to everyone who sincerely asks. I will be happy to answer questions. If I don't immediately have the answer, I will be happy to research it.

Just giving you a heads up, that poster is not honest.

Even at current market valuation, I think TSLA is still way overvalued.

At like almost 5 times the combined market cap of GM and Ford? Yeah there is definitely room to keep falling.
