For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Iit's okay if you don't like that one scientist. because there are dozens of other computer security experts who have come to the same conclusion, that since Trump's lawyers admitted to hiring people to steal voting software used by 90% of voters in swing states, manual recounts should be implemented.

Feel free to source it with concrete probable claims that have been verified by reputable sources.

I think manual counting should be the norm - all votes are counted manually in my country - but it's unlikely that you will be able to get anyone to actually pull the trigger without concrete evidence of interference.

The Republicans have zero evidence of election interference.

Agreed.

democrats have straight up factual evidence of ballot, interference and electoral fraud.

Post it, then.

do you know about how W won the 2004 election?

I know how the 2000 election got stolen by Bush, but I'm not aware of the same thing happening in 2004. Feel free to fill in details.

do you know about the fake elector scheme 4 years ago?

Yes. It was never put into practice. Trump did try to institute a coup, but failed.

have you ever heard of gerrymandering?

Yes, this is a well-known example of legal election interference. Hand-counts won't help in this case.

voter poll purging?

Same here

Republican ballot interference has happened every election for decades, and it looks like it happened on a wider scale this time.

Instances of legal election interference are not proof of illegal election interference occurring.

"Feel free to source it with concrete probable claims"

19 credible sources are available throughout the paper that you didn't read and you are mosinformed about both the stolen voting machine data and the fake electors scheme.

if you don't know any of this, you're out of your depth here.

"concrete evidence of interference."

Great, there is a mountain of concrete evidence of election and ballot interference over the past several years, up to today.

from 4 years ago, then 2 years ago, then during the 2024 election, and in between.

you're not making any sense.

the open letter and even wikipedia directly provides the evidence you claim to be interested in.

"Yes. It was never put into practice. Trump did try to institute a coup, but failed."

nope, you are entirely incorrect here as well.

The fake electors scheme was put into practice nationally. fake electors mailed out false ballots to NARA and Mike Pence in an effort to steal the election before the real ballots arrived in the mail.

The National Archives discovered that the ballots were false and negated them.

The fake electore scheme absolutely went into practice, people have admitted to participating in it, taken guilty plea deals and are still going through trials because of their participation in the fake electors scheme.

If you need more clarification, ask questions but for goodness' sake, read something first so you have a baseline of knowledge before you talk about something.

you're entirely misinformed with regard to recent election interference.
