Musk voted by mail in November 2016, the year Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, and in the November 2018 midterm election, the records show. Musk’s primary residence was in Los Angeles at the time.
The state records show that Musk had a sparse history of voting in California. During the 18 years he was eligible to vote there, he cast ballots in only those two elections. He became eligible to vote when he became a U.S. citizen in 2002 and cast his first ballot 14 years later, at age 45. He was actively registered to vote by August 2006, the records show.
Among the elections Musk skipped were presidential races in which Barack Obama, John McCain and Mitt Romney were on the ballot, all primary elections and all local elections. California has an open primary system in which all registered voters are allowed to participate.
A fine, patriotic American who definitely belongs in Trump’s cabinet.

Musk xit’s “Exactly” to someone else’s opinion, and he gets 103K ‘likes’.
That’s Musk.
California has optional mail ballots for everyone. Can’t imagine voting without it — I can fill out my ballot at my leisure, researching measures when I have time. No need to remember anything or make a cheat sheet for election day. And no standing in line.
In Washington it’s required. No polling locations except a couple headquarters locations where you can submit provisional ballots and such if there’s something last moment that comes up.
Like that clown is going to stand in line anywhere with the rabble to vote.

Oh! Now I know what this is. It’s not “mail voting is bad, let’s not mail vote”. It’s “let’s use X to vote”
I’m glad I’m so past the point of even trying to explain the hypocrisy to people that still give assholes like this the benefit of the doubt. Remember when the Hyperloop came out and so many people insisted it was the way of the future? 🙄
That was so stupid. I thought it was stupid at the time. Just make regular high speed rail. That’s all we need.
But, don’t you see? His idea works in a vacuum!
News flash, giant hypocrite exhibits large amounts of hypocrisy.
Same for Trump and every other republican bad faith actor
Rules for Me but not for Thee
I hope he continues calling it insane. This stunts Republican turnout as it did in 2020!
I would love to hear Elon explain the complete process that is mail in voting.
The process is actually more secure than in person voting. Especially on a machine.
He means it’s insane that ordinary people can vote as easily as he can.
Fuck Elon Musk.
You mean Elmo’s been caught lying yet again? Imagine my utter lack of surprise!
Plot twist (just for fun, I’m not trying to protect him): he actually wasn’t. The votes were fake and whoever were faking them dropped the ball by using info of someone recognizable
They also dropped the ball by risking a fine and five years in prison to cast one vote in a non-swing state.
TIL that Elon musk must have become a US citizen at some point. Or are we talking about South Africa elections?
Yes, he gained US Citizenship, as the article says.

In that case, the CIA is not using their best.
