Tech mogul Elon Musk has voiced strong concerns regarding the use of computers in the voting and election process. Speaking from a technologist’s perspective, Musk advocated for traditional paper ballots and manual vote counting, emphasizing the vulnerability of digital systems to hacking and compromise. “I speak as a technologist, voting and election should not be handled by computers. Use the ballots, count the votes. Computers can be hacked and compromised….” Musk stated in a post shared by Ayekooto (@DeeOneAyekooto). The sentiment highlights a growing debate about election security and the reliability of technology in democratic processes.
