At a time when ruling and opposition parties are locking horns with each other on the EVM allegations, Tesla Boss Elon Musk made an unexpected entry. Elon Musk said that we should eliminate the e; electronic voting machines as there is a risk of hacking.

Adding fuel to this, former IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar gave a strong reaction saying that hacking EVM is not possible and called Elon Musk factually wrong. Saying that he has a slight understanding of technology the former Minister said that people are saying Tesla cars might be hacked as well.

Elon Musk has been talking about doing away with the EVMs ever since there were allegations of possible irregularities in the Primary elections. Since then he has been actively talking about the EVMs and doing away with them.
