Elon Musk’s mother Musk stunned Fox News host Neil Cavuto when she appeared to suggest she would visit polling places in New York to recount several votes in the upcoming election.
The Canadian-born dietitian used her appearance on the conservative news channel to attack voting systems in New York, where you don’t have to show ID to vote but you must be registered.
Cavuto quoted her ‘Dark MAGA’ X post last month criticizing voter counting in several states.
“Earlier you said, ‘the Democrats have given us another option. You do not need to register to vote. On election day you have to go to ten polling booths with ten fake names and vote ten times. That’s a hundred votes. And it’s not illegal. Maybe we need to work on the system too.’”
It is actually illegal to vote more than once. Cavuto tried to give her the benefit of the doubt.

“I think you’ve disavowed that, or maybe you can keep me informed,” he said worriedly.
“The thing is, if you don’t have to have an ID… Actually, my Canadian friends are going to vote because you don’t have to have an ID.”
Musk appeared to feel exposed after letting the comment slip.
“I don’t know if that’s really true,” she said. “But they can vote at any booth if they want. No ID, you can just vote. So it’s very frightening that they wouldn’t look at my ID in New York.”
Cavuto looked solemnly into the camera, perhaps realizing what America was really facing in the upcoming election.
“Interesting,” he said, looking down somewhat nervously. The billionaire’s mother appeared to stand by her comments.
“What did you take away from that experience?”
“Well, I could take away that if I was dishonest, I could go to any polling place in New York to vote or even go back to the same polling place every hour,” she responded while failing to acknowledge that what she was suggesting was highly illegal . .
Republicans have stepped up allegations of voter fraud in several states in an apparent attempt to justify overturning the election results if Trump does not win.
The R.N.C has already filed hundreds of lawsuits over vote counting rules, Donald Trump has accused voters in Philadelphia of “cheat‘ and Elon Musk has subsequently been mired in accusations of election interference Pay out $1 million to voters.
Elon Musk has also supported the dangerous “Dark MAGA” movement, which promotes authoritarianism, conspiracy theories and a dystopian world in which a Donald Trump victory is the only possible election scenario.
