I've seen some speculation on Twitter that Elon posted the poll just to identify and eliminate bots.  Elon's reply: "Interesting.

He needs to. As much as I hate to say it, he's angering the very people who will most likely be buying Tesla EV's. If he wants to make a difference he needs to be a power behind the throne type like peter thiel. He's getting sucked into the time waste and human excrement pile that Twitter is and he has much more important jobs to do.
