Musk voted by mail in November 2016, the year Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, and in the November 2018 midterm election, the records show. Musk’s primary residence was in Los Angeles at the time.
The state records show that Musk had a sparse history of voting in California. During the 18 years he was eligible to vote there, he cast ballots in only those two elections. He became eligible to vote when he became a U.S. citizen in 2002 and cast his first ballot 14 years later, at age 45. He was actively registered to vote by August 2006, the records show.
Among the elections Musk skipped were presidential races in which Barack Obama, John McCain and Mitt Romney were on the ballot, all primary elections and all local elections. California has an open primary system in which all registered voters are allowed to participate.
A fine, patriotic American who definitely belongs in Trump’s cabinet.
That’s because he’s a fucktard.
Musk xit’s “Exactly” to someone else’s opinion, and he gets 103K ‘likes’.
That’s Musk.
We don’t need to use ableist slurs to insult a piece of shit like Musk
I’m disabled and I approve this use of “fucktard”
hits gavel
next order of business
As an Autist I also approve
You don’t speak for all aneurotypical folks thanks.
Neither do you.
I didn’t claim to…?
Neither did I
You’re right. You butted in on a conversation and then went “not that I care” when challenged. So kindly bugger off. If you’re going to level crap at me then stand by it instead of being yet another internet contrarian.
My fucktarded friends would be insulted
We don’t need to use coprological similes to insult a moron like Musk
California has optional mail ballots for everyone. Can’t imagine voting without it — I can fill out my ballot at my leisure, researching measures when I have time. No need to remember anything or make a cheat sheet for election day. And no standing in line.
This is especially necessary in California due to the ballot proposition thing. For those unfamiliar, California lets citizens put new laws on the ballot if they collect enough signatures. So each year the ballot there can be dozens and dozens of pages as you read through each of these somewhat lengthy measures. It takes ages in the voting booth, so doing so by mail is way better.
In Washington it’s required. No polling locations except a couple headquarters locations where you can submit provisional ballots and such if there’s something last moment that comes up.
Like that clown is going to stand in line anywhere with the rabble to vote.

Oh! Now I know what this is. It’s not “mail voting is bad, let’s not mail vote”. It’s “let’s use X to vote”
I’m glad I’m so past the point of even trying to explain the hypocrisy to people that still give assholes like this the benefit of the doubt. Remember when the Hyperloop came out and so many people insisted it was the way of the future? 🙄
That was so stupid. I thought it was stupid at the time. Just make regular high speed rail. That’s all we need.
Some places have been trying to get high speed rail for decades - when I was in Florida in the 90s we even had it on a ballot and the public wanted it overwhelmingly. Then the politicians came back and said it’s too costly. Connecting some places would have paid off the construction multiple times and helped the state economy. I can only assume that there’s people invested in building and maintaining roads that have lobbyists to keep them the “preferred” transportation option.
I doubt it’s the road builders; it’s oil companies, and to a lesser extent car manufacturers
It’s always oil companies, isn’t it? If I get a time machine, I’m going back to the early Carboniferous period and introduce the missing bacteria that would have decayed plants and minimized fossil fuel buildup.
While you’re there, probably best to find the first primate, and stomp on it.
That’s the beautiful part, change the direction far back enough there may not be primates at all.
It is always the oil companies, yes. I’ll give you ten bucks if you can find a societal problem that I can’t trace back to oil companies. Not counting homophobia, that one is a conservative religious problem
But, don’t you see? His idea works in a vacuum!
I wish he would work in a vacuum.
Honestly, just working in any producitve capacity at all would be an improvement for him, vacuum or not
The whole idea was to crush public transportation, which Elon despises. He never intended to make a thing that worked, it was to take money away from something that would benefit the masses instead of the rich.
News flash, giant hypocrite exhibits large amounts of hypocrisy.
Man, voting by mail is the best. Never voting in person ever again.
Rules for Me but not for Thee
I would love to hear Elon explain the complete process that is mail in voting.
The process is actually more secure than in person voting. Especially on a machine.
Elon also took massive subsidies for Spacex and Tesla. The only reason both companies successed. He believes it is OK for him but no one else. A very common theme for the thin skin man.
Same for Trump and every other republican bad faith actor
But he’s a genius. We should emulate him. Quick, let’s vote by mail and interview a presidential candidate.
You mean Elmo’s been caught lying yet again? Imagine my utter lack of surprise!
He means it’s insane that ordinary people can vote as easily as he can.
I hope he continues calling it insane. This stunts Republican turnout as it did in 2020!
The weird people saying one thing and doing the other.
