Elon Musk Compares Newsom to ‘The Joker’ After Voter ID Requirements Banned in California
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a bill banning local governments from requiring voters to present an ID at the ballot box, drawing backlash from Elon Musk. Musk criticized the move, comparing Newsom to “The Joker” and arguing that the legislation infringes on free speech. He stated, “Wow, it is now illegal to require voter ID in California They just made PREVENTING voter fraud against the law,” Musk wrote on X late Monday. “The Joker is in charge.” The bill was passed by the California Assembly in August after being introduced earlier in the year by state Sen. David Min, a Democrat. Newsom signed the bill into law on Thursday, following Huntington Beach’s voter ID mandate and aiming to counter conservative initiatives.
