Elon Musk polls X users on ending daylight saving time
Published On Mar 6, 2025, 1:12 PM
Elon Musk recently conducted a poll on his platform, X, regarding public preference for ending daylight saving time (DST). Over 1.2 million users participated, with approximately 58% favoring a permanent shift to an hour later and 42% opting for an hour earlier. Discussions around abolishing DST are gaining traction, with various states considering or already passing laws to move to permanent daylight saving time, pending Congressional approval. While past studies have shown mixed results on the energy efficiency and safety impacts of DST, the public's growing dissatisfaction with time changes could signal political momentum for reform in this area.

The discussion surrounding daylight savings time has potential implications for companies in the energy sector, especially those involved in renewable energy, as there are arguments that a stable time system could lead to more predictable energy consumption patterns. This might create opportunities for sustainable energy investments as more states and consumers seek energy efficiency and stable utility costs.
