Elon Musk Holds Solo Event Telling People to Vote Early for Trump, Attendees Shout Back “Why?”

The conservatives have totally cucked out on early voting, and are now for it. Just like with everything else they were ever opposed to.

AP:

Elon Musk held his first solo event in support of Donald Trump for president on Thursday, encouraging voters in the Philadelphia suburbs to register to cast their ballots and vote early, though some attendees shouted back, “Why?”

The America PAC event at Ridley High School’s auditorium in Folsom featured the world’s richest man speaking onstage in front of a large U.S. flag for roughly 15 minutes before taking questions from the crowd, many of whom wore “Make America Great Again” hats.

The event was billed as a call to action to vote early in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania, where Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris are fiercely contesting the election. Some in the crowd questioned Musk’s entreaties to vote early, reflecting the possibility that Republicans are still persuading their supporters to embrace early voting after Trump spent years demonizing the method.

It’s not “Trump demonizing the method” that is the problem here.

No other country on earth does this mail-in bullshit, except in very specific circumstances when someone is in the military or has a legitimate reason he’s overseas and can’t return for the election.

The AP editorialization, “Trump demonization,” is goofy and ridiculous. The proper way to write that would be: “Early voting, a process introduced during the 2020 election which Trump and many of his supporters are still skeptical of due to a perception that it may increase the likelihood of fraud.”

See? Very easy to do. They don’t have to say it causes fraud, they just have to explain why people are concerned about it, instead of acting like Trump’s followers are mindless zombies who just believe his nonsensical “demonizations” of totally sound things like a complete overhaul of the entire election system.

The crowd rose to its feet and took cellphone videos as Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla and Space X and owner of the social media platform X, walked onstage. They remained standing during his remarks and cheered loudly after he said the U.S. Constitution needs to be upheld.

This is literally the fundamental values that made America what it is today. And anyone who is against those things is fundamentally anti-American and to hell with them,” said Musk, who was born in South Africa. The crowd erupted.

He exhorted the crowd to make sure they and their friends and family were registered to vote and to “pester” those who weren’t. Toward the end of the question period, which included more than a dozen from those in the audience, he was asked to explain whether people should vote early in Pennsylvania. Musk was momentarily distracted by a fan waving a hat, which he appeared to sign, and then by a child whom he brought onstage for a photo.

Redirected to the question, he said people should vote immediately.

Some in the crowd cupped their hands and shouted, “Why?” He did not answer. A spokesperson said after the event that he didn’t have additional comment.

It is strange to encourage it, given that the theory Trump has forwarded is not only that Democrats use fake mail-in ballots to flood the boxes, but also that election workers throw out mail-in ballots from Trump-supporting areas.

It doesn’t matter anyway. The election is fake.
