 According to Elon Musk, only verified accounts can vote on X

It took place after author and businessman Brian Krassenstein commented on Elon Musk's piece, saying he had observed "pretty extreme" bot activity near polling.

After declaring on Sunday that only authenticated users of X, previously known as Twitter, will soon be permitted to participate in the polls, Elon Musk set the Internet ablaze. 

According to Mr. Musk, this modification was made to stop bots from influencing the outcome.

It took place after author and businessman Brian Krassenstein commented on Mr. Musk's article and claimed to have observed "pretty extreme" bot activity around polling places. 

I've noticed that there is a lot of bot activity near the polls. Regarding the ADL, I understand that occasionally they overlabel things. Having said that, the ADL has done a lot during the past 110 years.

You should really give people the choice to only participate in polls with blue checkmarks. I've noticed that there is a lot of bot activity near polls. Regarding the ADL, I understand that occasionally they overlabel things. Having saying that, a lot has been done during the last…

Mr. Musk replied to his tweet with, "Agreed on all. We are updating polls to restrict voting to verified users only.  This is essential to prevent bot spam in polls on contentious topics. The ADL has done a lot of excellent work over the years, but recently has become overzealous and has been taken over by the "woke mind virus."

On everything, I agree. We're updating the polls to restrict voting to authenticated users only. This is essential to prevent bot spam in polls on contentious topics.

The ADL has done a lot of wonderful work over the years, but in recent years, it has become overzealous and has been taken over by the awakened mind virus.

A few months ago, Mr. Musk stated that starting on April 15, only verified accounts will be permitted to cast ballots. Only verified users would be permitted to appear in For You suggestions on the platform, he noted. For your information, the For You suggestions show a stream of tweets from X accounts.

Mr. Musk asserted that the platform will limit voting on surveys pertaining to policy last year.

The tech tycoon asserted it to be the "only realistic" solution to the AI bot problem shortly after this statement. According to Elon Musk, "It is otherwise a hopeless losing battle." With his choice, Mr. Musk hoped to establish X as the most reliable platform, stating, "My prediction is that this will be the only platform you can trust."
