Elon Musk Joins Fight For Election Reform With Vivek Ramaswamy: What This Could Mean

Elon Musk has publicly endorsed a set of election reforms proposed by Vivek Ramaswamy, describing them as “simple and effective.”

What Happened: On Saturday, Musk took to X to express his agreement with a set of election reform proposals put forth by former presidential candidate Ramaswamy.

The proposals included single-day voting on Election Day as a national holiday, the use of paper ballots, and the requirement of a government-issued ID. Musk’s post read, “Simple and effective.”

Musk’s endorsement comes at a time when election reform is a hot topic in the United States, with debates around voting methods and voter identification requirements.

In another post, Ramaswamy said in an interview that Musk is super “hardcore” about firing federal employees in partnership with Trump. Musk quite agreed to that statement.

Musk’s response confirms his aggressive stance on the issue of federal employment. The mention of “Ozempic” in the original tweet is a metaphorical reference to a weight loss drug, suggesting that Musk intends to “slim down” the federal workforce.

Why It Matters: Musk’s endorsement of these election reforms could potentially influence the ongoing debate.

His status as a prominent tech figure and his large following on social media platforms like Twitter could bring more attention to these proposals.

However, it remains to be seen how this endorsement will impact the broader conversation around election reform.
