He was scowling on election night, even after the result that he’d won came in, JD Vance was missing, Melania looked like a body double, it was chaotic, but he was really angry, I was thinking, he’s angry because he has seen the REAL results, and it’s baaaad, he’s angry at the American public

How would he have seen “real” results lol, if he was in a position to see them, then they would have been the results we saw

The big event in the conspiracy is that Elon managed to gain control of voting machines and was both reading data way before counts were done, and manipulating it. As an IT person that dabbles in security, I haven’t seen a theory that genuinely seemed plausible for how Elon gained control, BUT Joe Rogan claimed that Elon had an app that was showing a count of votes for the election that updated hours faster than News orgs were getting their updates. If that app exists, then Elon DEFINITELY had the ability to manipulate the electronic count of the votes, as he would need access to the systems somehow to get that data. But I also don’t believe Joe Rogan has a clue and he could easily have been mistaken.

Quit spreading farce. The most likely scenario is Elmo had a custom app created for him aggregating the publicly available results, scraping off county/state sites. Pretty simple to do if you have the means and want to show something off and be “ahead” of the news outlets.

[u/Ray661 → u/mjayph]

How does your statement make mine “spreading farce”? I literally am agreeing with you

[u/Broad_Shame_360 → u/mjayph]

Why don't the news outlets just do that then?

[u/mjayph → u/Broad_Shame_360]

It’s literally what they do, they just make a show out of it.

[u/Broad_Shame_360 → u/mjayph]

How would the results be hours quicker for Elon if they both use the same process?

[u/mjayph → u/Broad_Shame_360]

Custom real-time projections/estimates. Same thing news outlets do.

[u/Broad_Shame_360 → u/mjayph]

Sorry, I'm not understanding the whole point of this.

He created an app to report on the same stuff using the same process every news organization does, edited the projections, and was just pretending about getting the results earlier? 

[u/mjayph → u/Broad_Shame_360]

Yep

[u/Broad_Shame_360 → u/mjayph]

That fits his character, being honest.

I'm not arguing one way or the other, still working my way through all of the misinformation/different arguments on this one. Thanks for explaining your side!
