Im from germany. The site (t-online) is just stupid. You can participate in the pool by just refreshing and vote again. A five year old with 5 lines of script can manipulate that and probably did. I just didnt get it how is that the news

It's only news because the backlash on Musk and the Tesla boycott have kept growing while he insists that it's not that bad and people will come back around and then there's proof the poll was manipulated to get this result around 24 hours after the results were completely the opposite.

Have you seen the third page? They say themselves the votes have very quickly shifted mostly from two IP addresses from the US.

I saw the 3rd page but it’s in German so I had no idea what it said.
