Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Friday that all voting should be “in person,” contradicting his own history of voting by mail and the efforts of his pro-Trump super PAC to get others to vote by mail, too. During a wide-ranging town hall event in Oaks, Pennsylvania, where Musk is campaigning for former President Donald Trump, Musk said he was concerned about potential voter fraud unless people cast ballots in a specific way: on paper, in person and with a form of identification.
The audience member, who did not give his name, said without evidence that he believed votes in Georgia this year were already being “flipped” and he asked for Musk’s help. “Is there a way to have a database on X where we can track all the votes? We all send our votes to you to track it, and then we can tell who wins?” he asked. Musk responded that people who have possible evidence of voter fraud or irregularities should post it to his social media app X for others to either support or debunk.
