India counted 640 million votes in 1 day, California still counting, says Elon Musk

Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently praised India's efficient electoral system while noting the delayed vote count in California's presidential election. Musk highlighted India's swift tallying of 640 million votes in a day, emphasizing its effective democratic process. Despite California's slow count due to mail-in voting complexities, Musk's appointment by President-elect Donald Trump to enhance government efficiency reflects a shared vision for a more streamlined public sector and cost-effective operations.



In a recent social media post, Tesla CEO Elon Musk applauded India's remarkable efficiency in handling its electoral process, contrasting it with the ongoing delay in California's vote count for the presidential election. Despite California's significant population and participation rates, the state is still tallying up ballots weeks after the polls closed.

 

Musk's admiration for India's ability to count a staggering 640 million votes in just one day was evident in his online statement. The comparison highlighted the swift and effective nature of the Indian electoral system, drawing attention to its capacity for managing such a massive democratic exercise efficiently.

 

As California continues to work through the remaining ballots, a process complicated by the state's reliance on mail-in voting, the contrast with India's rapid tallying of votes stands out. The meticulous verification required for each mail-in ballot, along with the extended timeline for addressing errors, contributes to the delay in finalizing the results.

 

Meanwhile, in a surprising turn of events, Donald Trump secured a historic victory in the 2024 US presidential election, defeating his opponent. President-elect Trump has announced plans to appoint Elon Musk to a key role focused on streamlining government operations and reducing bureaucracy upon his return to the White House.

 

Musk, known for advocating significant budget cuts, will join forces with biotech investor Vivek Ramaswamy to spearhead a new initiative named the "Department of Government Efficiency" (Doge), a nod to Musk's affinity for Dogecoin, a popular cryptocurrency. This move signals a commitment to enhancing governmental effectiveness and cost-efficiency, aligning with Musk's vision for a more streamlined and productive public sector.
