Donald Trump bigged up Elon Musk’s expertise with ‘vote-counting computers’ and it sent conspiracy theories mainstream
Donald Trump already used his pre-inauguration speech to say they ‘rigged the election’ (although people said it was a reference to 2020, not an unlikely last-minute confession).

And yet you could forgive conspiracy theories going mainstream after he had this to say about his (at the time of writing) best buddy Elon Musk and his sterling efforts to secure Trump’s presidential comeback, specifically in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
Trump: He was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon pic.twitter.com/czocksYsBU

He cannot be sworn in tomorrow
He just admitted he and Elon Musk stole the election
