Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink, utilized his X platform this past weekend to advocate for significant voting reform in preparation for the 2024 election.

Musk addressed a message in response to a post made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, regarding a recent issue with electronic voting machines in Puerto Rico.

“Puerto Rico’s primary elections just experienced hundreds of voting irregularities related to electronic voting machines, according to the Associated Press. Luckily, there was a paper trail so the problem was identified and vote tallies corrected,” said his post. “What happens in jurisdictions where there is no paper trail? US citizens need to know that every one of their votes were counted, and that their elections cannot be hacked. We need to return to paper ballots to avoid electronic interference with elections. My administration will require paper ballots and we will guarantee honest and fair elections,” RFK Jr. added.

Prior to the 2020 election, numerous Democrats, including the X account KanekoaTheGreat, expressed concerns about electronic voting machines. They raised the possibility of these machines being hacked or manipulated to alter votes. In response to his own electoral loss, former President Donald Trump also questioned the integrity of electronic voting machines, suggesting that his votes may have been changed to favor his opponent. However, no concrete evidence was presented in court to support these claims.
