I'm still not entirely convinced Musk didn't steal the election, but the evidence I've seen to support it is rather thin beyond circumstantial evidence about voting patterns. We don't have benevolent hacker groups looking out for us anymore, I don't think.
A lot of folks don't understand that a lot of hacks/leaks relied on people from other countries doing the hack. If you're a citizen of the country you're trying to hack, you're in for a real bad time.
The rest of the world is too busy fixing their own problems to be worrying about fixing the USA when we fucked this one up all on our own.
Honestly, we've been fucking it up all on our own and showing the rest of the world how little we respect their opinion since at least two weeks after 9/11/2001.

Speaking of stolen elections, I get that this isn't exactly evidence but this kind of a slip-up, intentional or otherwise is just weird if the election was truly 100% fair.
