Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of technological powerhouses like Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink, took advantage of his massive social media influence over the weekend to push a call for dramatic voting reform before the next presidential race in 2024. He aimed at a target that's been the subject of much debate: electronic voting machines. In a statement echoed by many, Musk expressed the view, 'We have an obligation to eliminate electronic voting machines. Despite the low chances, the risk of potential hacking by humans or complex AI systems remains unacceptably high.'

Musk's timely call for reform came as a response to a post by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy voiced concerns about recent complications with electronic voting machines during the primary elections in Puerto Rico. Musk aligned with his worry, stating 'Just imagine the recent scenario in Puerto Rico during their primary elections, an electronic voting machine malfunction led to hundreds of voting irregularities, as reported by the reputable Associated Press.'

It's alarming that these problems were resolved only due to a paper trail that pointed out the discrepancies. Fortunately, this allowed for the accurate identification and correction of vote tallies. Yet, Musk raised an essential question, 'What could be the potential implications if there are no paper trails in certain jurisdictions? Our American citizens need the assurance that every vote they cast is counted without fail and that our system is free from the threat of hacking.'

Musk reflected on Kennedy's solution: 'The need of the hour is a return to paper ballots, eliminating the risk of electronic disturbances during elections. Given the opportunity, my administration would insist upon paper ballots, ensuring honest and transparent elections.' These sentiments find support not only from Musk and Kennedy but also from another vocal advocator of the paper ballot system: former President Donald J. Trump.
