During his Make America Great Again Victory Rally on Sunday, Donald Trump made a remark about Elon Musk that caused quite a commotion on social media and even led a congressman to question his meaning.
Before swiftly shifting to his campaign trail activities, Trump lauded Musk’s efforts with SpaceX on the eve of his inauguration.
After that, he traveled to Pennsylvania, where he campaigned for me for about a month and a half, according to Trump. He is also well-liked. He was also quite successful. And no one knows those computers as well as he does.
Indeed, it was the next two sentences that got everyone talking.
Then Trump said, “All those computers.” Those voting machines. In the end, we won Pennsylvania by a huge margin. It was therefore quite good. It’s quite good.
Texas Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett posted the Trump address footage and asked what the president-elect was trying to say when she mentioned that Trump was familiar with vote-counting systems.
Trump keeps talking about how he and Elon rigged the election, so what? On X, she wrote. Is he confessing to yet another heinous crime, or am I missing something?

Musk used the saluting emoji on X in response to a clip of the comment.
On X, Crockett wasn’t the only person who questioned Trump’s meaning behind the remark. Even worse, it sparked a fresh round of conspiracy theories that attempted to sabotage elections.
Trump has not provided further details about the remark, but it is highly likely that he will be questioned about it eventually. Furthermore, although it was an odd addition to his address, there is no proof that widespread wrongdoing occurred in either the 2020 election or the one that just ended.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to hear Trump’s response when he is questioned about this.
