Summary

Elon Musk’s “election integrity community” on X is filled with unfounded claims of voter fraud and calls for doxxing. The community follows the same playbook as 2020’s “Stop the Steal” groups, amplifying baseless rumors and targeting individuals without evidence. Musk has amplified some of the community’s concerns on his own page, including false claims about the Biden administration importing voters.
