Why does Elon Musk want EVMs banned? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Elon Musk's call to ban Electronic Voting Machines has triggered a political row in India. While opposition parties have backed Musk's call, leaders of the ruling BJP have rejected his position. Should one person have the power to shape political discourse and policy, that too in foreign countries? Palki Sharma tells you.

With that logic, eliminate Autopilot from Tesla first.

Elon was talking about EVMs in the USA. IN USA, EVMs are more like mobile phones or tablets. It has WiFi and it connects to Internet. So it can be hacked wirelessly. In India, EVMs do not have any wireless capability. There is nothing in the hardware to connect wirelessly. It's like trying to connect your old tape recorder by Bluetooth. It's impossible. Anyone with common sense and basic IT knowledge knows this. The only way to tamper an Indian EVM is to get it physically and if they have neccassory custom built tools to access it. And if a person can get EVMs physically, then that same person also can access paper ballot boxes and stuff them with his paper votes.. So EVM is safer than paper ballots.

What Musk meant by EVM was Electric Vehicle Makers such as Tesla 😂😂

[nandakumar]

Congress is good in printing ballot paper

[vintagewatches]

EVM was not hacked in Karnataka during assembly elections..but it got hacked during the Loksabha election...RAGA is a loser😅😅

[idkomgl]

With Elon Musk logic every Tesla car can be hacked. He should go back to manufacturing bullock kart with that logic.

[GeneJohnson-vyci]

Elon Trump was talking about EVMs in the United States for our upcoming elections.

[dayatec]

He wanted to conduct election's using X - Social platform with advanced cyber security features😂😂😂.. So he can earn some additional billions for his 2204 generations

[keeya_ks]

So he confessed that Tesla and starlink can be hacked

[DjLeo]

Then Eliminate Electronic Vehicles of TESLA in India

[peaceleader]

Democracy shouldn't be made from buttons.. I agree with Elon.

[andbeyondd]

Tesla looks like it's going big. I really want to profit from the market this year. I have about $80k I want to invest in the market. My brain doesn't do very well in understanding these things. How else could I utilise the market opportunity?

[NationalistBhartiya]

Money can hack anything like Elon MUSK 😂

[vkumar]

Mr.Elon, Let's read EVM as Electric Vehicle Manufacturer to be banned 😂

There is an old story I heard years ago as a child. It possibly one of the stories in Amar Chitra Katha as well. An old brahmin was carrying a calf, I think, on this shoulders. Then along his journey he meets a few people one at a time all of them asking why the Brahmin was carrying a donkey ... or some other such animal on his shoulders. At first the Brahmin dismissed them then slowly over a period of time started to believe the other villagers and doubting his own sanity. Moral of the story is is this, "One needs to have strong faith and belief in oneself and stop believing in the opinions of so many others". This is especially true with the false western narratives and propaganda attacking and targeting the Indian audiences so relentlessly these days. Elon Musk is also part of the western society and also a helpless pawn under influence of CCP, remember Jack Ma? with both being exceedingly inimical to the rise of India. There are those, especially political dynasties within the nation that would like to see India weakened and they see the EVM as a roadblock to their ambitions and see it as a threat. If at all this assertion by Elon Musk proves that Indian EVM's are rock solid and unhackable. In all likelihood this election was opposition's last final bid attempting to weaken India. From here on India will rise and grow stronger and the EVM's will ensure that Indian democracy remains strong and a fundamental component. Indians and India needs to believe in it's capabilities and repose more faith in its own self and abilities. Jai Hind !!! Bharat Mata Ki !!! Jai !!!

[JatinderSingh-cozy]

Well said, Ms. Palki.
On social media, people like Musk ought to use extreme caution.
Regardless, he was discussing Puerto Rico's EVMs and see how our politicians like "behti ganga mein haath dho lo"
