Musk’s comments come as he has increasingly spread voter fraud conspiracies. Critics have shot back against Musk’s statements about voting by mail, as they have pointed out that he has no proof that this voting method is unsafe.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, Musk posted, “In the USA, you don’t need government issued ID to vote and you can mail in your ballot. This is insane.”

While states have various rules themselves, most registrations also ask for either a driver’s license number, a Social Security number, or a state identification number.

For example, California requires some first-time voters to mail in copies of their IDs when they vote by mail. Meanwhile, Texas asks for ID information when voters use mail-in options.

According to California state records, Musk voted by mail at least twice, during the November 2016 general elections and November 2018 midterm elections.

While Musk became a U.S. citizen in 2002, and therefore could vote, he didn’t vote for the first time until 14 years later.

In response to initial reporting of his voting history, Musk only said, “Voting by mail has been recognized as an invitation to fraud throughout the world.”

However, Musk has repeatedly pushed this narrative, stating that mail-in voting is unreliable and can create fraud. No investigations have found this to be true.

He wrote on X, “Widespread voting by mail (not allowed before the scamdemic) makes proving fraud almost impossible.”

However, no evidence of widespread voter fraud has ever been found in the country. Investigations have also found that fraud from mail-in voting is incredibly rare.

For example, a voter fraud scheme in North Carolina was pursued by prosecutors successfully, proving that those who partake in these schemes will be held accountable.

In recent months, Musk has allied himself with Trump, publicly endorsing him for president and even running a Super PAC for the former president.
