Elon Musk’s ironic voter fraud obsession
Elon Musk’s ironic voter fraud obsession
He's pushing spurious claims of illegal voters while facing prosecution over his own "illegal" election scheme.
Musk has returned to a set of ideas he’s been preoccupied with for much of the year: the threat of voter fraud, the necessity of voter ID laws, and his persistent concern that “non-citizens” will somehow vote. The timing of this push to build outrage over alleged illegal election activity might strike some observers as ironic, given that the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office has just sued Musk for running his own “illegal…scheme” to entice conservative leaning voters with the prospect of cash.
Considering the apparently unbreakable rule that every conservative accusation is really a confession, does this mean Musk voted when he was still an illegal immigrant in the USA?
I'd say yes, but he's so much of a narcissist and so self-obsessed, I doubt it would've occurred to him. Especially as back then he was 90% tech bro and 10% weird idea guy. Those values, of course, have since fully flipped.
Even if he didn't vote illegally prior to becoming a US citizen (and I suspect he wouldn't have even if he had known about it, since that sort of thing can actually prevent you from becoming a US citizen, see https://forums.immigration.com/threads/voting-before-naturalization-can-cause-you-problems.280618/ )
It's still very and deeply ironic that he's obsessed with finding crimes involving voting/voters (such as voter fraud) in the present day while he's committing crimes involving voting/voters today (that whole Penn lottery thing).
So heavy checkmark and enjoy your upvote!
