The owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, weighed in on the election results and the claims of voter fraud.
In an interview with CNBC’s David Faber, Musk said he believes that President Joe Biden legitimately won the election and that while there was likely some fraud, it was minimal and made no impact on the outcome. He said, “I don’t think it was a stolen election.”
Musk went on to say that he wishes they could have “just a normal human being as president” and that executive competence is underrated. He said that it matters if the president is a good executive officer and that it’s not just a matter of if they share your beliefs.
“Somebody’s executive ability is underrated. Since the president is effectively the Chief Executive Officer of the country. It actually matters if they’re a good executive officer,” he said. “It’s not simply a matter of do they share your beliefs, but are they good at getting things done? There’s a lot of decisions that need to be made every day. Many of them are unrelated to moral beliefs. And you just want a good executive [because] they’re CEO of America.”
When asked about voter fraud, Musk said, “If somebody’s gonna say that there’s never any election fraud anywhere, this is obviously also false.” He went on to say that if 100 million people voted, the probability of zero fraud is zero and that while there was likely some fraud, it was not enough to change the outcome.
When asked if some of his tweets perhaps give credence to conspiracy theories, Musk responded, “Well, yes, but I mean, honestly, you know, some of these conspiracy theories have turned out to be true.” He cited the Hunter Biden laptop as an example.
While Musk said that there was likely some voter fraud, many people are still questioning the legitimacy of the election results. There have been reports of polling irregularities, including reports of dead people voting and ballots being counted multiple times. Additionally, there have been claims of improper voter registration and of people voting in multiple states.
It’s clear that there have been some issues with the 2020 election. How much of an impact these issues had on the outcome is yet to be seen. While it’s true that some conspiracy theories have turned out to be true, it’s important to remember that the majority of them are false.

At the end of the day, the most important thing is that everyone’s vote is counted accurately and that the integrity of our elections is maintained. To ensure that this happens, we need more transparency in our election process. We must also ensure that our voting systems are secure and reliable, and that all votes are counted and verified.
Sorry, Mr. Musk. As the bard said in Hamlet: “Something is rotten in the state …” When the 2020 incumbent received a record number of votes to re-elect him, and then after a significant pause in counting, the obama “f-things up VP”challenger then came up with just-enough also record-breaking number votes to not call for a mandatory automatic recount, something was even more rotten than our current economy, safety, and future.
There is no way this lump of excrement rolled off the basement couch and generated any where near the pencil whipped numbers fake media projected. Amazing all the closely contested districts had “issues” with recount apparatus when they were destined to lose. There is a huge credibility gap that has even fractured democrat parties messaging capability. They get no respect because none has been earned.
I CANNOT believe you just said this, 81 million is no small number musk…there was FRAUD and you people need to acknowledge that
Hooray Elon Yes
