A brief but pointed response from Elon Musk has added new attention to an ongoing debate in Washington surrounding election security legislation. The discussion centers on the proposed SAVE Act, a bill that supporters say would require proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.
The moment unfolded after political commentator Gunther Eagleman publicly criticized John Thune, the Senate Majority Leader, over the pace of progress on the legislation. In response to the criticism, Musk reportedly posted a brief two-word reply: “Not yet.” The comment quickly circulated online and sparked renewed discussion about the bill and the broader issue of election policy.
