Maye Musk was hit with a stern community note after she encouraged Donald Trump supporters to use "10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times."
Maye Musk, the mother of billionaire X owner Elon Musk, was hit with a fact check on her son’s social media platform after she appeared to urge Donald Trump supporters to commit voter fraud by using fake names to vote multiple times.
“The Democrats have given us another option. You don’t have to register to vote. On Election Day, have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times,” she wrote Saturday on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
“That’s 100 votes, and it’s not illegal. Maybe we should work the system too.”
Users of the platform added a community note to the post, linking to the federal code on the U.S. House of Representatives website that prohibits voting more than once and falsifying information when voting.
“This is, in fact, illegal,” the fact check reads. Falsifying information and voting multiple times are both punishable by a fine of up to US$10,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.
“Whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of an examiner or hearing officer knowingly and willfully falsifies or conceals a material fact, or makes any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements or representations, or makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both,” states the law.
Three hours later, however, Maye appeared to backtrack her post, telling followers to “ignore” it.
