Total Fraud: Elon Musk Is Stealing Americans’ Personal Data Under the Guise of “Voter Protection”
Elon Musk's website is harvesting every visitor’s full name, birthday, home address, email, phone number, IP address, and voter registration status.
WASHINGTON, DC — Elon Musk built a website called Vote Safe that promises to help people “vote with confidence.” But what it’s really doing is harvesting every visitor’s full name, birthday, home address, email, phone number, IP address, and voter registration status, then handing it to Facebook, Google, X, and other tracking firms. Musk quietly scrubbed the privacy language that used to prevent exactly that kind of sharing off the website.
Vote Safe isn’t a one off, either. It runs on the same operation behind Ready to Register, a group that hid who controlled it until reporters traced its origins back to Musk. Ready to Register’s mailers hit North Carolina and Georgia mailboxes this summer stuffed with outdated forms, wrong return addresses, and letters sent to voters who are already dead.
“Elon Musk is trying to buy Republicans a majority this November, and he built a machine to steal Americans’ data to do it, slapping a new name on it every few months. Vote Safe grabs your personal information instead of registering you to vote. Ready to Register mails forms to people who are dead. Different logo, same operation, same goal: confuse voters, harvest their data, and profit off an election Republicans know they can’t win fair and square. Voting in this country is safe and secure, and that’s exactly what terrifies them,” said Abhi Rahman, Try And Stop Us Spokesperson.
