What Has Musk Posted About The Elections?<\/h2>\n

On Sunday, the billionaire and key GOP donor boosted several posts that were questioning the results of the mayoral election and baselessly suggesting that Democrats were engaged in fraud. On Sunday, Musk first reshared a post by venture capitalist and Sequoia Partner Shaun Maguire, which read<\/u>: \u201cIt takes a conspiracy theorist. To believe California\u2019s election is secure.\u201d The Tesla and SpaceX CEO then boosted several posts<\/u> that tried to claim that Raman\u2019s performance was a \u201cstatistical impossibility<\/u>\u201d\u2014even though Los Angeles is a deeply blue city\u2014and that itself suggests evidence of fraud. The billionaire also reshared an X user\u2019s question to Grok<\/u>, amplifying a conspiracy that Pratt had received 0 votes amid a major overnight drop of 24,000 ballots\u2014even though the post he was citing already had an X community note<\/u> citing a DOJ statement disproving it. Musk also suggested<\/u> that it would be a \u201cworthwhile exercise\u201d to interview \u201c1000 homeless people\u201d in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Skid Row and ask them who they had voted for.<\/p>\n

What Has Trump Said About The California Elections?<\/h2>\n

Musk\u2019s remarks echo similar unsubstantiated claims<\/u> made by President Donald Trump last week, claiming that Democrats were trying to \u201csteal\u201d the California primaries from two GOP candidates, Pratt and the GOP Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton. Without sharing any evidence to back his allegations, Trump attacks \u201cvery late and massive numbers of\u201d mail-in ballots, echoing his long-time opposition to voting by mail and false claims he has made about the 2020 elections. The president then claimed the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office in Los Angeles was investigating the voting process. On Sunday night, he attacked<\/u> California\u2019s electoral process once again on Truth Social and said: \u201cTwo great Republican Candidates are being cheated, and so is America, which if the Dumocrats are able to fulfill their mission, great trouble and consternation will follow.\u201d Early on Monday morning, Trump posted again<\/u> as some outlets called the mayoral race in favor of Raman and wrote: \u201cNo way this could have happened. Rigged Election!\u201d<\/p>\n

In a post on X, California Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s press office responded to Trump\u2019s overnight post, saying: \u201cThere isn\u2019t a bigger sore loser in the country. Back to bed grandpa!\u201d<\/p>\n
