One of the many reasons why "a vote" isn't a best option is that by "a vote", he means a poll he posts on his personal Twitter account and which is brigaded by lunatic Elon people. Moreover, Twitter laid off at least 80% of the experiments team last I checked (maybe 100% now?) and most of the other related research science people, so I highly doubt they even have a mechanism to do sample to population extrapolation or design a sample frame even if they wanted to. Completely embarrassing.

Another reason is that this is the platform Elon Musk himself claims is full of bots. If that's the case, wouldn't it make online polls on that platform pretty untrustworthy?

It's okay because his bots will choose whatever option he likes the most in order to make it seem like a democratic process.

He's already held a poll on unbanning Donald Trump, and while the poll was ongoing, Elon was complaining that too many bots and trolls were voting 'No'.
