Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk called for electronic voting machines to be eliminated over concerns related to hacking.
Musk’s comments Saturday came in response to a post on X from independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who highlighted an Associated Press article about hundreds of voting irregularities in connection to electronic voting machines, and said that if he were elected president he would require paper ballots.
“We should eliminate electronic voting machines. The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, while small, is still too high,” Musk wrote on X in response to Kennedy’s post.
