Elon Musk: The obvious reason for making ID illegal in elections is to enable cheating.

“California is super majority Dem, 70% Dem. A month ago, they passed a law making it illegal to show ID in any election in California.

A friend of mine went to vote in Palo Alto, because he was like, is this for real? He tried to show his ID and they reacted like if you show a cross to a vampire. They were like, no, we can't even look at that ID. It's illegal for them to even look at your ID if you want to present it in California. For any election at all even City council.

Joe Rogan: What logical reason other than to cheat would you ever have that law?

Elon: The reason is to cheat, obviously.

Joe: You can never make an argument any other way. And I think 84% of people polled believe that you should show ID to vote. So it's against the will of the people.

Elon: And we are extremely aware we're an outlier in not requiring ID. Basically, almost every country on Earth requires ID to vote.

As soon as you ban ID for voting, it makes fraud impossible to prove, because how do you trace the fraud?”
