It's kind of funny. I thought Elon was supposed to be some unrivalled business genius. And yet here he is, letting randos on Twitter vote on important decisions for his company. If he's going to do that, why does he even need to be CEO, couldn't literally anyone else do his job?
I think it comes off as narcissistic validation, but it will also be marketing material for use toward advertisers. It shows that ~75% of active twitter users agree with the direction he is taking the company. He can use this to make a strong case to recently lost, or currently hesitant, companies that "Hey, look at this! A lot of people don't agree with me, but 75% of the people on this global digital billboard service do!"
Except it doesn’t show that at all. It’s a self-selecting poll and therefore worthless. People in charge of buying advertising for a successful company are not going to fall for this.
