There is no EVM in their own country- Rajiv Kumar

What did Elon Musk say?

Actually, billionaire Elon Musk had earlier claimed that EVMs used in elections can be hacked. However, after the presidential election in America, he was seen praising the Indian election system. Musk had said that 640 million votes were counted in India in 1 day. However, counting of votes is still going on in California, America even after several days.
