Elon Musk's Election Interference Tactics

Musk's Gerrymandering Arguments

• 📌 Musk expressed concern about Democrats potentially gerrymandering districts if they win the election, aiming to remove two House seats held by Republicans.
• 📊 The hosts counter that Wisconsin's current congressional delegation is disproportionately Republican (6 out of 8 seats) despite a near 50/50 split in the state's popular vote, suggesting the existing maps are already favorable to Republicans.

The Response to Political Manipulation
