A semi-scientific Twitter study conducted over the past 36 hours shows who America is rooting for in the "Musk vs. Zuck" cage fight. And here is a hint: It's not the oddsmaker favorite.
The entertainment and gaming website, BetOnline.ag, pulled every tweet, hashtag and direct keyword phrase from Twitter about who people would be rooting for in a potential cage match between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. For example, #TeamElon, #TeamMusk, #TeamZuck, #TeamZuckerberg, etc.
In total, nearly 100,000 tweets were collected and analyzed.
Those results were run through a geo-tracking program that showed which states each post came from. The fighter most associated with those keywords and phrases then "won" that state.
Zuckerberg is a sizable favorite in terms of the fight odds, but the results show that America would be rooting for Musk. It’s not much of a surprise as Musk is the more popular of the two tech titans.
In all, Musk won 36 states to Zuckerberg’s 14 states.
Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah and Vermont are the 14 states supporting Zuckerberg. Musk took the rest of the country.
For us here at Gambling911.com we'll be rooting for Musk. Facebook we love, but that's primarily for personal usage whereas Gambling911 enjoys a strong presence of Twitter.
On Friday, BetOnline released a number of props (likely just the beginning).
