Elon Musk's mom says cheating for Trump isn't 'illegal.' Twitter fires back: 'You're just as dumb as your son'

One thing for sure: The Musk family is all in for Donald Trump — and election lies.

While Elon Musk — carmaker, owner of Twitter/X, government contractor and conspiracy theorist — was hopping around the stage at a rally for Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday, his mother was suggesting a way for Trump supporters to cheat in November’s presidential election against Kamala Harris.
Maye Musk, by the way, has 1.1 million followers on Twitter/X, her reach no doubt helped by the owner.

When her son tweeted, “Super important to get all your friends and family to register to vote. Georgia’s registration deadline is Monday!!” Maye Musk offered her own voting strategy.

“The Democrats have given us another option,” she tweeted. “You don’t have to register to vote. On Election Day, have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes, and it’s not illegal. Maybe we should work the system too.”

Actually, that is illegal — and even Twitter/X’s fact-checking labeled it so with an embarrassing community note that explained, “This is, in fact, illegal,” while citing the law. But that wasn’t all: Maye Musk’s tweet drew immediate and brutal mocking on social media:

“So, you’re just as dumb as your son. Good to know.”

“Even Elon’s mom is stupid.”

“Great idea, Maye. I think you should film yourself doing this and post it.”

Many suggested that Tina Peters — a MAGA Trump supporter who tampered with election data and was sentenced to nine years in prison on Friday — might need a cellmate or a prison buddy.

1. They are South African. I assume that is done there. ?? Geeezzz.

[geardaddy]

2. Melon's mom is Canadian

But she's still an idiot.

[wolfie001]

4. The Ottowa trucker's blockade is proof that......

....there is no shortage of RW trumpers up north.

[IronLionZion]

18. Born in Canada but moved to South Africa when she was 2

so she grew up in South Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maye_Musk

[geardaddy]

21. Thanks for the correction.

[ShazzieB]

27. So she is, to all intents and purposes, culturally South African.

Funny coincidence (at least to me): my dad was born in England, but his parents emigrated to the U.S. with their children when he was 2. He had to be naturalized to become a citizen of the U.S., but in all other respects, he was as American as apple pie.

[Deuxcents]

3. Could she be considered a foreign interference with our election?

[ck4829]

47. You'd think, right?

[dutch777]

5. eLoon and Mad Maye....what a pair! Lord, save us!

[catrose]

6. Excuse me? Like Mother, like son

[ck4829]

46. Very much so

[IbogaProject]

7. Deport her

She should be ejected and denied entry if she ever tries to enter our country.

[Trueblue1968]

30. Deport all of the MuskOx family

[InstantGratification]

8. One Muskrat begats another

17. The turd doesn't

fall far from the anus.

[ck4829]

42. No, no it does not

[Figarosmom]

9. Wow...

They aren't citizens are they?

[dchill]

14. Yeah, they are, unfortunately.

[IronLionZion]

33. Wealthy people can essentially buy US citizenship

and the Musks did. Maye also has some ancestors who were born in Minnesota before moving to Canada and then South Africa.

[ejbr]

10. I actually like the idea

of conservatives not registering to vote.

[IronLionZion]

34. Many conservatives are dumb enough to believe it will work

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Deplorable.

[ck4829]

43. Incredibly deplorable

[TNNurse]

12. His mom is

Not stupid, just crooked...ignores rules and laws.

[ck4829]

44. Or stupid AND crooked

[Aussie105]

13. Can someone explain to Mommy Musk that it is a silly and illegal suggestion?

Explain in words she understands?

Whatever runs in that family - it ain't pretty!

[efhmc]

40. Before, during and after #EvilMuck I am still on Twitter and block idiots like her on a daily basis.

Can someone give me her signin so I can block her, please.

[spooky3]

15. The Musk family is the single best argument for a wealth tax on billionaires. Nt

[oasis]

36. "The affirmative action of generational wealth" was

touched upon in Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic Convention.
This subject needs to be brought up more often.

[ck4829]

45. It really does

[birdographer]

16. So, if I have this right,

you make up a fake name and then you go to vote. You get to the people with computers in front of them, and they ask your name. You give the fake name. It is not in their computer as a registered voter in that district. And so you say what? I don't know about where other people vote, but you can't just walk in here and grab a ballot. Nobody gets past those computers. Gosh maybe we are super-advanced or something in this small town. Or is it possible she has no concept of how one votes?

[forkol]

22. Yeah, it's virtually impossible, at least in the state of Georgia...

In the state of Georgia, it's a Voter-ID state. You have to have a government-issued ID. If you give them some kind of State ID, they actually scan the barcode on the back of the ID and pull up your registration information. On one occasion, the lady that was doing the check-in seemed to be taking quite her time carefully examining my GA driver's license. She was about 3 seconds away from me loudly saying: "Ma'am, is there a problem?" before she finally let me pass.

But say you get some fake IDs. Because you didn't register, you won't be on the rolls. Even if you contest you are a resident of Georgia, at some address, at most you will be given a provisional ballot, which won't count if they cannot verify you address within 3 days of the election.

I think I remember for early voting in 2020, we had to fill out a form before we could even get to the check-in. It basically stated that you were voting for a certain election period, and that you were made aware you cannot vote again on Election Day, and some other stuff and then had to be signed. The form had to be filled out and dated correctly, even specifying the date be written as mm/dd/yyyy (all four digits for the year). They kicked the form back to you if you didn't do it correctly.

It's practically impossible, although that shouldn't even have to be said

19. assholes breed assholes.

[Martin68]

20. I think it's time to realize that the MAGAts consider lying, cheating and dirty tricks perfectly normal ways to win an

election (or do business, run an education system, etc). That's why they think we are doing the same. They are bad to the bone, rotten to the core, and assume everyone else is, too.

[LiberalArkie]

51. I really consider it backwards. People who are so full of themselves, think they are ALWAYS right and

do not mind breaking the law, or circumventing the law -> tend to be what we call MAGAts

Ex, the habitual speeder, the insider stock trader. The ones who feel that the social norms do not apply to them.

[geardaddy]

23. I read that Musk Melon planned to ban

Everyone who was promoting fake news. Guess he'll have to ban himself and his mother.

[Jack Valentino]

24. her suggestion that people cast 10 votes in 10 precincts on election day

is not remotely doable by simple logistics--- nevermind the fact that it is illegal and unlikely that you could identify yourself as 10 different voters in each precinct....


Total stupidity--- but it is bad because it is encouraging Trump voters to think about ways that they might cast fake votes and break election laws....

[PedroXimenez]

25. so crazy it just might work!!

[Montauk6]

26. Maye Musk, eh.......?

I just remember her from a Manhattan cable access show "Diet Divas."

[SunSeeker]

28. Evil parents. Evil son.

May they all burn in Hell.

[keithbvadu2]

29. The end justifies the means

an·ti·no·mi·an /?an(t)??n?m??n/ adjective
relating to the view that Christians are released by grace from the obligation of observing the moral law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinomianism

"In some Christian belief systems, an antinomian is one who takes the principle of salvation by faith and divine grace to the point of asserting that the saved are not bound to follow the moral law contained in the Ten Commandments.[2][3] Antinomians believe that faith alone guarantees eternal security in heaven, regardless of one's actions.[4]"

Even the Ten Commandments.

Like killing abortion doctors.
----------------
Not just Christians. Other religions also have some adherents.

[Aussie105]

31. There you go Republicans!

You have Mother Musk's permission to cheat!

Her son will pay your fines and do the jail time for you, I'm sure!

Mmmmmm . . . encouraging others to break the law and promising to pay their fines - where have I heard that before?

That didn't go too well, if I remember correctly.

[Escurumbele]

32. The reality is that Musk is concerned that when Kamala/Walz win, his contracts with the USA will be canceled.

Its all about the money, he is going to lose big, so lets vote, we have double incentive, get rid of trump and his minions and to get rid of Musk handling our security.

[LaMouffette]

35. Thank God, Elon Musk was born in South Africa and can't run for president, unless the Republicans find a way

to change that rule.

[spooky3]

38. Would require a constitutional amendment, which is incredibly difficult

To achieve.

[ck4829]

49. This is true, but I wouldn't put it past this scotus to try and say "rules are different for Republicans though"

[turbinetree]

37. Well the question needs to be asked.................does she vote once or does she go into another place and use

a different name and address to vote ................lock her up.................

[Coexist]

39. all of this: "Great idea, Maye. I think you should film yourself doing this and post it."

[ck4829]

48. Haha

[valleyrogue]

41. With parents naming him "Elon," it's no wonder the stupidity is inherited.

From a Google search:

Errol Musk liked the name Elon because of its biblical links, the book said. It added that Errol Musk later said it was a prescient reference to a science-fiction book written by rocket scientist Wernher von Braun about colonizing Mars. Elon is the title given to elected leaders of Mars in the book.

Wernher von Braun. That really says it all.

[ck4829]

50. K&R

and don't forget... billionaires cause inflation

52. Love the reply to mom, love it.
