Elon Musk advocates for in-person voting while his super PAC pushes for mail-in voting


During a town hall event in Pennsylvania, tech billionaire Elon Musk stated that he believed all voting should be done in person with paper ballots and identification, to prevent potential voter fraud. This contradicted his own history of voting by mail and his super PAC’s efforts to promote mail-in and absentee ballots in support of former President Donald Trump. Musk also promoted debunked conspiracy theories related to Dominion Voting Systems and encouraged people to post evidence of voter fraud on his social media app X.

Despite Musk’s opposition to mail-in voting, he has a record of voting by mail in previous elections. His super PAC, America PAC, which he has financially supported with nearly $75 million, is actively promoting mail-in and absentee ballots. Musk’s town hall event also touched on topics such as false conspiracy theories, potential future advisers in a second Trump term, and making inappropriate jokes about serious events like the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Overall, Musk’s statements at the town hall stirred controversy and raised questions about the consistency of his beliefs and actions regarding voting methods and election integrity. Despite his assertions about the need for in-person voting, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the United States, and mail-in and absentee ballots have become common practice in some areas.
