Maye Musk, Elon Musk’s mother, sparks controversy by seemingly endorsing voter fraud in X post


Elon Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, posted on social media appearing to encourage voter fraud on Election Day by suggesting individuals vote multiple times using fake names. Elon Musk later called the post sarcastic but did not delete it. Voter fraud is rare, and investigations have not found Democrats orchestrating large-scale fraud. Nate Persily, an election expert, stated that using false information to register to vote is illegal and punishable by a $10,000 fine or imprisonment.

Maye Musk’s post was flagged as illegal, but the law does not appear to forbid her statements of encouragement. She later posted telling users to ignore the original post and defended herself by saying it was sarcasm inspired by California Governor Gavin Newsom. Elon Musk has criticized voter ID laws and endorsed Donald Trump’s campaign on social media.

Critics argue that voter ID laws suppress eligible voters, while proponents claim they prevent fraud. Musk’s posts on social media regarding the election have generated a large viewership and have been flagged as false or misleading. Experts warn that the spread of misinformation about election integrity can erode trust in the electoral process. Elon and Maye Musk have not commented on the controversy.
