'Anything Can Be Hacked': Elon Musk, Rajeev Chandrasekhar Engage in Debate on EVMs

A debate has erupted on X (formerly Twitter) between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar over the reliability of electronic voting machines (EVMs). Musk initiated the discussion by questioning EVMs' security, citing reports of voting irregularities in Puerto Rico. Chandrasekhar, previously heading the electronics and IT ministry, countered Musk's skepticism, asserting that secure digital hardware can be built. He highlighted that Indian EVMs are custom-designed with no network connectivity, making them immune to hacking. Musk responded by stating, "Anything can be hacked," to which Chandrasekhar conceded that while theoretically possible, hacking India's isolated EVMs is unlikely. The Indian Supreme Court has upheld the Election Commission's stance on EVMs, maintaining their reliability. The EC asserts that India's EVMs are foolproof, adding to the ongoing discourse about their security and integrity. Rahul Gandhi Calls Indian EVMs ‘Black Box,’ Questions Electoral Transparency Amid Manipulation Allegations in Mumbai Reacting to Elon Musk's Post.
