People think Trump just incriminated himself and Elon Musk in 'odd' confession during rally speech

Today has been coming for a long time, if you're a Republican you'll be delighted but if you're not then it's a bitter pill to swallow.

The inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th US President will take place in Washington DC, beginning at 11.30am Eastern Time and around half-an-hour into it the 78-year-old will be sworn in for his second time in charge.

But during the President-elect's final 'MAGA' rally before he is sworn in, he spoke about vote counting computers in Pennsylvania and people on Twitter think he might have incriminated himself and Elon Musk in 'odd' confession at the rally.

Speaking of Musk at the rally, Trump said: "And then he journeyed to Pennslyvania where he spent a month and a half campaigning for me and he's a popular guy.

"He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote-counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.

"So, it was pretty good, it was pretty good. So, thank you to Elon."

Taking to the social media platform, one user posted: "This is called a confession."

"What an odd thing to say," another typed.

While a third was shocked at what the soon-to-be president said. They said: "Did he just…….."

With a fourth adding: "Now, Trump suggests that Elon Musk rigged the PA vote-counting computers in his favor.

"Surely the GOP will be demanding a full investigation into Trump and his oligarch wannabe-dictator buddies. Right?"

However, not everyone saw it this way, and suggested that people are grasping at straws.

They tweeted: "I literally just watched it and he never said any of that..."

While another explained: "'Depending on which county a resident lives in, they may vote by voting machine, or they may vote with a paper ballot that is scanned in.

"Pennsylvania uses different systems to count mail-in ballots in some parts of the state that are used to count the same-day vote, and every vote in the state leaves a paper trail.'

"Therefore it would be technically impossible to hack voting machines since the paper trail would not match up. Wishful thinking though."

Could that be all it was? I'm no expert but there's too much conspiracy around vote-counting in the US, I personally believe Trump won fair and square - as did President Joe Biden in the 2020 elections.

"Now I’m convinced the inauguration will be inside due to protests," commented one person, and by the outrage his comments have struck on Musk's own social media platform... moving it indoors might be best.
