Elon Musk Speaks on Election Conspiracies at PA Event

Elon Musk recently hosted his first solo town hall in Pennsylvania, showing support for Donald Trump. During a Q&A, he shared conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. Musk suggested that mail-in ballots without proof of citizenship make cheating "impossible to prove. " However, experts say voter fraud is rare and easily caught due to safeguards.Musk questioned the use of Dominion voting machines in Philadelphia and Maricopa County, Arizona, calling it a "heck of a coincidence. " But Dominion, which sued Fox News over false claims, clarified that its machines aren't used in Philadelphia. Moreover, election officials from Arizona and Pennsylvania confirmed the 2020 results were accurate. Musk also advocated for a full switch to paper ballots, hand-counted, as he believes computers can't be trusted. Yet, over 98% of US voters already have access to fully auditable paper trails. This highlights the need for clear, fact-based discussions about election integrity.
