"The last thing I would do is trust a computer program," says the owner of a car company developing self driving & rocket company building automation into rocket launches.
not to mention brain chips. Remember, every accusation is a confession with the MAGA crowd. I bet we'd find a few gems in the code for tesla and twitter now
Software that killed a pedestrian recently.
That's why you're supposed to have paper backups. And you audit things.
Edit: I think you could even get a real time audit and still be electronic with backups
- You go to machine and vote
- It prints off a copy of what you voted and records it (this is the primary vote count)
- You verify the paper ballot print off and take it to a second area to be recorded and kept for audits.
- Put ballot in second machine which validates and counts the vote and externally shows a counter increase on the machine for votes counted (not who) so you also know this machine counted it for a total.
So now you have the proper vote tallies from 1. The audit of the correct amount of total records from 4. If there's any cause for concern or for auditing, you can manually count the paper ballots.
To be fair, I wouldn't trust a computer program for voting either, but I would trust and ride in an autonomously landing rocket.
Which is why I much prefer the scantron type fill in the bubble ballots, you get a full digital count with an easily cross referenced ballot.
So you fully trust computers that can kill you and others without a thought, but you don't trust a computer to do the insanely simpler task of "count paper?"
Also, musk and all the other disingenuous shitheads are complaining about any digital counting, including your preferred scantron ballots. They want very slow, flaw ridden human counting only, so they can inject chaos and noise into the electorial system and force the "congress picks the president" process in our constitution that will always favor the GOP.
Paper ballots are already used in 98% of all US elections, they are just counted digitally. These are not serious people with serious concerns.
Didn't Dominion already win at least one defamation lawsuit because some jackass was spewing these lies? Gonna love seeing Elmo have to pay up, just a shame it won't cost him enough to make him shut the fuck up.
Cost Tucker Carlson his job.
that's ok, he works for putin now
Now?
Well I guess on paper now
Fox News settled for $787 million.
I would love to see Musk go down like that.
He could, sadly, do that a few dozen times and still be ok.
We need to eat the rich.
Well having to find that much liquidity that fast can be a problem even for someone as rich as Musk, no?
If I own musk stock I would consider selling before he dumps $1B worth of stock on the market, and try to pick it up again cheaply. I can see it wipe out massive market cap from his companies...
I don't know, if they manage to get a judgment against him for a couple billion dollars, that's like 10% of his worth after he tanked Twitter.
Yeah but at that value its still going to hurt.
Especially if he keeps doing it.
Friendly reminder that an Immigrant African American Welfare Queen, with numerous baby mommas and children he don’t even talk to, is a foreign actor attempting to sway American Elections by spreading fake news. Truly the enemy within that needs to be addressed, there is a reason he travels with as many as 20 bodyguards just to touch grass Source.
- Children that won't talk to him.
“The probability that a homicidal maniac will try to kill you is proportionate to how many homicidal maniacs hear your name,” he said. “So they hear my name a lot — I’m like, ‘OK, I’m on the list,’ you know.”
this makes it sound like high profile assassinations are caused by a bunch of “maniacs” pulling names out of hats
Considering the first attempt on Trump's life, and I hate to admit it, but he's not that far off. I can't tell you how large of a quantity it is, but trump sure riled up a bunch of mentally ill people who may or may not have a good grasp of their mental stability.
If the assassins weren't deranged, they would choose their targets better. If you want to effect political change through assassination, you don't target the puppet. You target the person controlling the puppet.
You're describing professional hits like governments do. Our shootings in this country are 99.9% by crazy lone gunmen.
hE wAs JuSt StAnDiNg HiS GrOuNd!!
Exactly. That's why I said, "If the assassins weren't deranged..."
Wtf bro. Did you expect them to read every word you wrote, that could take hours. What is this, nazi Germany?

Sounds like dominion should sue musk too
Ohh please let this be actionable a la Fox News
“The last thing I would do is trust a computer program”
What a weird thing to say from someone that sells a car he says will eventually drive itself.
Imagine Magoos if Jack Dorsey was campaigning for Obama or Biden back when he owned Twitter... They would be absolutely losing their shit. Fox news would be running stories 24/7 about it and biased media influence...
They piss me off to no end. Hypocrite, thy name is MAGA.
Trump went on Fox News to talk about how he's going to ask Murdoch to not run any negative ads till the election. 🤮
Imagine Magoos if Jack Dorsey was campaigning for Obama or Biden back when he owned Twitter…
and then stole a @handle to promote them as well.
Sue him for 99.5% of his net worth that should shut this cunt up
101%
He'll just pull himself up by the boot straps and billionaire work ethic
Why would they want all his debt?
They wouldn't get the debt. He'd keep that.
However, I don't know why he should left with any assets to balance the debt. Organizations that loaned him money or products should suffer too.
Hey look! The people who are cheating our election system are warning us about cheaters in our election!
My man loves a lawsuit. Can't climax without one.
Bankrupt his ass
