India's Election Chief Defends EVMs Amid Criticism

Elon Musk was mentioned by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar during the announcement of the Delhi Election 2025 schedule, as Kumar defended the integrity of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) amidst criticisms. Kumar referenced a global IT expert who initially criticized EVMs but later praised their efficiency, alluding to Musk, who had previously called for their elimination due to hacking risks but later commended India's swift electoral process. Meanwhile, Musk's acquisition of Twitter has sparked controversy as he aligns with far-right ideologies, raising questions about his political motives and influence. His transformation from a climate change advocate to a supporter of figures like Donald Trump has led to backlash from former supporters. Critics highlight the contradiction of Musk promoting electric vehicles while engaging with pro-fossil fuel politicians. As tensions grow, some predict a potential fallout among influential figures like Musk, Farage, and Trump due to their narcissistic tendencies.
