Dear Mr. Musk, @elonmusk My name is Laiza Galvão. I am a Brazilian citizen living in Bahia, and I am writing because of serious doubts about the electronic voting system used in our elections. The machines, called urnas eletrônicas, record the votes and send the data to central computers. Many people here, including myself, have looked at the official graphs and numbers and cannot make them match ordinary statistical expectations or the patterns from earlier elections. The curves change in ways that look unnatural, and ordinary citizens have almost no access to the machines themselves, the software that runs them, or a clear view of how the data travels from the polling place to the final count. Your companies design rockets, build electric cars that actually work, and solve technical problems most governments cannot handle. I am not asking for a political statement or any kind of campaign. I am asking whether a small group of the mathematicians and engineers who already work with you could spend a limited amount of time examining this as a technical question: how the urnas store and transmit the votes, whether the published results can be reproduced from the claimed inputs, and whether the graphs that were released are consistent with an unmodified counting process. A short, rigorous mathematical review that others can check would either confirm that the system works as claimed or show exactly where it does not. You have often said that verifiable engineering and transparency matter more than institutional assurances. That principle applies here. If the same people who calculate orbital mechanics and battery chemistry can also look at a voting system and its data flows, the result would be useful no matter which side anyone prefers. I am willing to share the public data sets, the official documents that exist, and any other information that might help. Thank you for reading this. Sincerely, Laiza Galvão Bahia, Brazil October 26, 2026
