However, Musk also marked his poll “unscientific,” as he mentioned to proceed with it since “a lot of people had asked” for it.

More than 3.4 million users responded at the time of writing, of which 75.2 percent favor Trump and 24.8 percent favor Harris.

The post has received 28.8 million views and 74 thousand shares.

Kamala Harris has an edge

The Washington Post, in a report, revealed that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump revealed a close race in a Roanoke College poll. The survey was conducted prior to the Democratic National Convention, and Harris is at the head of the pack, with 47 percent over Trump’s 44 percent.

According to the report, most voters considered Trump a “threat to democracy,” as livemint.com reported.

Elon and Trump interview

It was only a week ago, on the 13th of August, 2024, that Elon Musk hosted a Spaces interview with the former President of the United States, Donald Trump.

They participated in a seemingly ‘unscripted’ discussion with the promise that there would be ‘no limits’ imposed, but some of them could not hear the conversation in the beginning.

During the interview, during which they discussed the issue of immigration, Trump lambasted Vice President Kamala Harris for handling such a matter.

He even stated while accusing the Biden administration of failing to control the border, “You have millions of people coming in a month, and she gets up, and she pretends like she’s gonna do something,” as livemint.com reported.

Trump also said that there are 20 million unlawful immigrants in the United States.
