Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is using his platform, X (formerly Twitter), to gauge public opinion—this time on whether Daylight Saving Time (DST) should be scrapped.

Musk asked his 180+ million followers: “If daylight savings time change is canceled, do you prefer an hour earlier or an hour later?”

The poll quickly gained traction, amassing over 1.3 million votes. The results showed that 58% of respondents favor permanently setting clocks an hour later, while 42% prefer shifting them an hour earlier.

Musk’s influence extends far beyond online polls. He has long been vocal on various policy issues, including cryptocurrency regulation, AI development, and space exploration.

His latest foray into the DST debate comes just days before the U.S. is set to “spring forward” on March 9, reigniting discussions about the necessity of clock adjustments.

Beyond public policy, Musk’s social media activity has had tangible economic impacts, particularly in cryptocurrency markets. His posts about Dogecoin have historically caused wild price swings, cementing his reputation as a market-moving figure. With Musk continuing to embrace the “people’s currency,” speculation remains high over whether his poll will lead to real-world policy discussions — or simply serve as another example of his ability to shape online discourse.

As the DST debate rages on, Musk’s influence remains undeniable, whether in politics, technology, or the financial world.
