Musk has used X to spread unfounded allegations about voting systems, laying groundwork to question the election before it happens.

There are three large election equipment vendors in the US: Dominion; ES&S, or Election Systems and Software; and Hart InterCivic.
Dominion Voting Systems ballot-counting machines are lined up at a Torrance County warehouse during testing of election equipment with local candidates and partisan officers in Estancia, New Mexico, on September 29, 2022.
COHEN: We know people, these pro-Trump operatives and lawyers, have already gotten access to election software – voting software, voting systems in Georgia, copied the entire election database from several counties.
