Successful businessman Elon Musk has declared his preference for paper ballots over electronic voting machines in elections.

“We ought to do away with electronic voting devices. Even with the minuscule chance of being hacked by humans or AI, the risk is still too great, “he tweeted.

“This has to happen, period.”

Musk made the comment in response to a post by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advocating the use of paper votes.

“US citizens need to know that all of their votes have been verified and that their elections cannot be hacked,” Kennedy said, “In order to prevent electronic meddling in elections, we must go back to paper ballots.” “We will ensure honest and fair elections, and my administration will mandate the use of paper ballots.”

Sen. Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah, spoke in favor of one-day voting and paper ballots.

“It’s really not that difficult to count votes. Voting is not one of the activities on Election Day. Let’s return to voting on paper. Everyone casts a vote on the same day. “Who’s keen?” he penned.

Musk acknowledged this and said, “This has to happen.”

In March, Musk tweeted that he thought the country would be “toast” if there was no “red wave.” The phrase describes a wave of Republican victories in elections.

“Until a few years ago, I was a 100% Democratic voter. “I believe that America is toast, or we need a red wave now,” he wrote.
