Tech billionaire Elon Musk recently stated that all voting should be done in person, on paper, and with identification to prevent potential voter fraud. Despite his own history of voting by mail and his super PAC’s promotion of mail-in and absentee ballots, Musk expressed his opposition to this method of voting during a town hall event. Musk has donated nearly $75 million to his super PAC, which supports former President Donald Trump and promotes mail-in voting. Musk’s statements at the event included alleging a conspiracy related to Dominion Voting Systems and suggesting that Democrats are bringing unauthorized immigrants into swing states to cast ballots. He also joked about the lack of charges in connection with pipe bombs left near the U.S. Capitol before the January 6 attack, implying it may be due to the perpetrator being a federal employee. Musk encouraged people with evidence of voter fraud to post it on his social media app for debate. The town hall event covered various topics, ranging from technology to national birth rates. Musk’s remarks and false claims have sparked controversy and concern about the spread of misinformation.
