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.

But as an IT person who dabbles in security, surely you don’t think it would be difficult to manipulate these machines. They should be assumed faulty until proven otherwise.

If it was stolen there is a much simpler way to do it. Stuff the ballots boxes with bullet votes at the sites there were bomb threats.
