Edward Snowden Reacts To Elon Musk's 'Pardon' Poll: 'That's A Very Big...'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Snowden has been left impressed by a poll conducted by Twitter CEO Elon Musk on the platform.

What Happened: Musk’s poll asking his nearly 120 million followers on the platform resulted in 3.31 million votes. 80.5% of those who voted said Wikileaks founder Julian Assange along with Snowden should be pardoned.

That is a very big number. https://t.co/iyYkVt9619

Why It Matters: Musk said that he was not “expressing an opinion” when he ran the poll over the weekend.

Yes I know the bots are overwhelmingly in favor.

1. Eddie is kind of dumb if he thinks an online push-poll has any validity or meaning.

2. Why isn't Snowjob

On the front lines fighting for his country (Russia) in their “special operation” terrorizing Ukraine?

4. Per an article I read in WAPO, he cut a deal so he would not be conscripted.

Snowden swore his oath and received his passport as Moscow continued its war on Ukraine, now in its 10th month. His lawyer, Kucherena, said when Snowden was granted citizenship that he would not be subject to the partial military mobilization that Putin had decreed days before, since only men with previous military experience were being called up. However, it has been widely reported that many Russians without such experience have been summoned for duty in recent months.

I can’t easily find the link to the WAPO article, but I posted that quote in this thread:

3. Imagine that, Musk doing a push poll for Putin ally, Assange.

5. Yep, Musk has done push polls on Snowden, Trump, and Assange. I just assume the KGB has

huge file on Elon.

7. 9 out of 10 bots agree....
