Elon Musk is a modern-day Renaissance man. But lately, he’s been obsessed with Twitter polls and political polemics. Musk, the biggest troller of them all, is back at it with his latest tweet. It’s a poll asking people who they believe will be president of the United States of America in 2032.
Before considering names and raising objections or endorsing the candidates, tread carefully. Both options on the polls aren’t human candidates. For Musk, the race to rule the nation will be between machines and artificial intelligence. Like with most of his tweets, the humor and its message were a hit and a miss.

Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk is always looking at what’s next. His trending tweet concerns who America thinks is the best candidate to lead their country. But the options may surprise you. Instead of naming Republicans or Democratic candidates, Musk chooses between Transformers and Diffusion. The tweet reads, “Who should be President in 2032?”

People are finding this poll amusing and not understanding what Elon Musk is trying to say. The tech billionaire has always warned us about artificial intelligence’s ability to invade and run our political, economic, and social systems. According to his tweet, our immediate future is at their mercy. In retrospect, the tweet isn’t hilarious but deeply chilling.

The responses continue to roll in as the poll nears its end. As always, only a few understood his intention and are in on the joke, while others are fighting the man who’s telling us the truth again and again. @TraderDAO_AI tweets, “Optimus Prime for President! Who needs policy debates when you can just transform and roll out?”

@cdbm1967 seems to be rubbed the wrong way by Elon Musk’s poll, “This is a very immature question. Coming out from you, @elonmusk, it’s very disappointing. You are less and less serious with every passing day.”
