In a recent town hall event in Pennsylvania, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, stirred controversy by promoting several debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. The event, held in the Philadelphia suburbs, was part of Musk's efforts to rally support for former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.

During the town hall, Musk responded to an audience member's question about alleged cheating in the 2020 election. He delivered a rambling response filled with inaccuracies and false claims about U.S. elections. "When you have mail-in ballots and no proof of citizenship, it becomes almost impossible to prove cheating," Musk falsely claimed. He also suggested that there were systematic irregularities involving Dominion Voting Systems, despite these claims being repeatedly debunked.

Musk's comments have sparked controversy and criticism from election experts and officials. Dominion Voting Systems issued a statement refuting Musk's claims, stating, "Fact: Dominion does not serve Philadelphia County. Fact: Dominion's voting systems are already based on voter-verified paper ballots. Fact: Hand counts and audits of such paper ballots have repeatedly proven that Dominion machines produce accurate results. These are not matters of opinion. They are verifiable facts".
