EVMs can be hacked, claims Elon Musk; not in India, counters ex-IT minister

IndiaTimes Sunday, 16 June 2024
Electronic voting machines (EVMs) were once again in focus with Elon Musk, the multi-billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX, and former Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar engaging in a debate on X after Musk suggested eliminating the machines following reports of EVM irregularities in Puerto Rico's primary elections. Chandrasekhar, a former MoS for electronics and IT, strongly disagreed with Musk and said it was a "huge sweeping generalisation" that held no truth for the EVMs used in India which are standalone systems not connected to the internet.

Congress, Opposition’s Hypocrisy Exposed in Maharashtra over EVM and Repolling| Oneindia

The Maharashtra Assembly elections once again spotlighted the opposition’s habit of blaming EVMs when results don’t favor them. In Solapur's Markadwadi village, NCP(SP) supporters, upset over BJP’s Ram Satpute leading locally despite Uttamrao Jankar’s overall win, planned an illegal ballot “re-election.” Authorities rightly shut it down, calling it anti-democratic. Ironically, EVMs—introduced by Congress—are now their scapegoat. Locals dismissed the rhetoric, crediting Satpute’s development work, with one saying, “He earned his votes, no tampering needed.” #EVMControversy #MaharashtraPolitics #DemocracyMatters #ElectionIntegrity #EVM Also Read EVM Whiners Or Sore Losers?

Elon Musk Lauds India’s Fast Vote Counting, Slams California’s Slow Election Results in Fiery X Post [Video]

Elon Musk Lauds India’s Fast Vote Counting, Slams California’s Slow Election Results in Fiery X Post

Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise India's efficient and swift vote-counting process, contrasting it with the delays faced by California in finalising its election results. In his post, Musk highlighted how India, with its electronic voting machines (EVMs) and voter verifiable paper audit trails (VVPATs), was able to count a staggering 640 million votes in a single day during the recent elections. This stands in stark contrast to California, which has been struggling to count votes nearly 20 days after the election, largely due to complicated mail-in ballot procedures and decentralised local election systems. Musk emphasised the scalability and efficiency of India's centralised election oversight, led by the Election Commission, while criticising the slow and cumbersome system in California. His comments have sparked debate on the effectiveness of different electoral systems, with many praising India's handling of large-scale elections. #ElonMusk #IndiaElections #VoteCounting #EfficientElections #CaliforniaElections #ElectionSystem #VoterIntegrity #ElectionReform #IndianElectionModel #FastCounting #EVMS #VVPAT #USVsIndia #ElectionDelays #MuskOnElections ~HT.178~PR.320~ED.103~GR.124~

LA Unstoppable Wildfires Day 6: Elon Musk's Cybertrucks To Douse Biggest Fire of Pacific Palicades

Elon Musk is stepping up to assist California amid the devastating wildfires, using his companies, Tesla and Starlink, to provide essential services. Musk announced plans to use Tesla Cybertrucks equipped with Starlink technology to deliver free internet to areas without connectivity in Los Angeles and Malibu. The initiative will allow the trucks to serve as mobile base stations, offering power and internet to affected regions. This comes shortly after Musk's decision to supply free Starlink terminals in areas where cell service has been lost. Additionally, billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman suggested using satellites, drones, and AI to prevent and manage wildfires. Despite mixed reactions, Musk emphasized the importance of helping communities and saving lives. #ElonMusk #TeslaCybertruck #Starlink #CaliforniaFires #WildfireRelief #FreeInternet #LosAngeles #Malibu #FirePrevention #TechnologyForGood #CybertruckAid #MuskInitiative #SpaceX #BillAckman #TechInnovation Also Read Elon Musk Sends Cybertrucks And Starlink To Boost L.A.
