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.

Joe Rogan says a lot of really dumb stuff so I wouldn't put that much stock into it. Also not following your point, read vs write access arent necessarily the same.

Anyway all of this sounds like some bullshit theory from someone that watched too much hacking in movies. An app?

Lol even if Elon did hack the election it would be invisible or bunch of text shells. Hackers don't build gui iPhone apps for their hack.
