Ahead of his official inauguration, President Donald Trump made a comment that sparked controversy among internet users and the public in general.
Speaking about his close friend, Elon Musk, Trump said: “He journeyed to Pennsylvania where he spent, like, a month-and-a-half campaigning for me in Pennsylvania, and he’s a popular guy, and he was very effective.
“And he knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers.
“And we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like, in a landslide, so, that was pretty good, it was pretty good. So thank you to Elon.”
It didn’t take long before the videos of Trump’s speech about Musk got flooded with comments and reactions.
“This is called a confession,” one person wrote. “What an odd thing to say,” another added.
Someone else commented: “Did he just……..”

“Now, Trump suggests that Elon Musk rigged the PA vote-counting computers in his favor. Surely the GOP will be demanding a full investigation into Trump and his oligarch wannabe-dictator buddies. Right?” a user noted.

As expected, those supporting Trump defended him by saying some are sharing fake conspiracy theories, and Trump’s comment about Musk never implied that he rigged the elections.
“I literally just watched it and he never said any of that…” a person wrote.
Another explained: “Depending on which county a resident lives in, they may vote by voting machine, or they may vote with a paper ballot that is scanned in.
“Pennsylvania uses different systems to count mail-in ballots in some parts of the state that are used to count the same-day vote, and every vote in the state leaves a paper trail.
“Therefore it would be technically impossible to hack voting machines since the paper trail would not match up. Wishful thinking though.”
It is still not clear what the president meant with this, as Pennsylvania doesn’t use one type of voting machine. As of now, the allegations by some internet users remain just a conspiracy theory.
