I was casually searching for something totally unrelated and came across this somewhat strange news story from last year:
Apparently the multi-billionaire Elon Musk made a poll on Twitter last year which reads as follows:
Earth is
- Flat (18%)
- Hollow (25%)
- Flat & hollow (57%)
640,208 votes
Perhaps it was just meant as a joke, but I find it interesting that more people voted that the earth is hollow instead of flat. Granted, the overall majority of votes said the earth is "flat & hollow," which indicates to me that this was largely interpreted as a joke, but nonetheless it is curious.
I think it's intriguing that Musk even included "hollow" as an option in the first place. There are very few people who even know of Hollow-Earth Theory, and most who do know of it believe it. Only those who are ignorant or deliberately deceitful would discount it.
So do you think that Elon Musk secretly believes the earth is hollow? He sure seems like an interesting character.
