One thing is for sure: The Musk family supports Donald Trump. And there are lies in the election.
While automaker Twitter/X owner, government contractor and conspiracy theorist Elon Musk was hopping around the stage at a pro-Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, his mother said Trump supporters were He hinted at ways to rig the November presidential election. Against Kamala Harris.
By the way, Maye Musk has 1.1 million followers on Twitter/X, and her reach is definitely due to her owners.
When her son tweeted, “It’s very important to get all your friends and family registered to vote. Georgia registration deadline is Monday!!” Maye Musk offered her own voting strategy .
“Democrats gave us another option,” she tweeted. “You don’t have to register to vote. On election day, you have 10 fake names, you go to 10 polling places, you vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes, and it’s not illegal. Maybe we can too. The system will need to be improved.โ
In fact, this is illegal. And even Twitter/X’s fact check labeled it as such in an embarrassing community note explaining, “This is actually illegal,” citing the law. But that wasn’t all. May Musk’s tweet immediately sparked brutal ridicule on social media.
“So you’re just as stupid as my son. Good to know.”
“Even Elon’s mother is stupid.”
“Great idea, May. I think you should film yourself doing this and post it.”
Many suggested that MAGA Trump supporter Tina Peters, who was sentenced Friday to nine years in prison for falsifying election data, might need a cellmate or a friend in prison.
Hours later, Maye Musk told her Twitter/X followers:
โI just heard that in Butler, Pennsylvania, Republicans will make sure there are no illegal voters,โ she tweeted. “Please ignore the previous post.”
Although there is no substantial evidence that illegal immigrants have voted in federal elections, some voters believe in Republican messaging fraud.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, who also acquired X, made his first appearance at a Trump rally on Sunday, telling the crowd: โAs you can see, Iโm not just a MAGA, Iโm a dark MAGA.โ
Musk sought to portray Trump as a champion of free speech, claiming that Democrats want to “take away free speech, take away the right to bear arms, and effectively take away the right to vote.” Musk went on to criticize California’s efforts to ban voter ID requirements.
When Musk took over control of Twitter/X in 2022, he said, “For Twitter to be worthy of the public’s trust, it must be politically neutral. This effectively sways the far right and far left.” “It means to do so.”
But on Saturday, Musk marked a 180-degree turn toward MAGA and conspiracy theories by tweeting: “Trump/Vance must win. I can’t bear to watch and hear Kamala/Waltz for four years. That would be cruel and unusual punishment!”
After Musk’s appearance, former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger called him a “perverted idiot.” [who] is the largest contractor for the U.S. military, despite repeated conspiracies and anti-American rhetoric. we have to stop it. โ
