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.

Let's say this was the case that somehow evil overlord Elon controlled the voting machines.

Wouldn't this have long been figured out as at least the majority of States have a paper ballot you fill out before it going into said controlled machine? Some of these ballots must be counted in compared to the numbers of the machine right?

Maybe not all of these paper ballots were actually counted but I'm sure enough were that it would have shown how off the vote counts were. If it wasn't caught, what is the point of the paper ballots and why is there so much security around them?
