Mark my words. After Reliance and BJP, Elon Musk's next big question for India could be the EVM.
In June 2024 Musk posted that electronic voting machines should go, because even a small hacking risk is too high. Rahul Gandhi called the EVM a black box. BJP's Rajeev Chandrasekhar replied that India's EVMs are standalone and not connected to the internet.
VVPAT checks, the Supreme Court verdict and the Kolkata EVM fire keep this debate alive. EVM tampering has never been proven in court. And Starlink India is still waiting for clearance.
EVM or ballot paper, which do you trust?
