New Delhi: SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Saturday made a shocking statement regarding the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM). He rejected the need for EVMs in elections and said that EVMs should be abolished. Musk said these machines can be hacked by humans or artificial intelligence (AI).
In a post on X, Musk said ‘We should kill the electronic voting machine. The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, though small, is still very high. He wrote this while sharing a post by US presidential contender Robert F Kennedy Jr. Robert initially wrote about EVM malpractices during the elections in Puerto Rico.
We must eliminate electronic voting machines. The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, though small, is still very high. https://t.co/PHzJsoXpLh
