Musk did not need to hack computers or "use AI" to interfere with the election. He just flooded the media zone in Pennsylvania and other battleground states with a lot targeted and smartly crafted media buys and this altered perceptions. Apparently $250 million dollars can buy you the U.S. government. One day Elon Musk might find to his regret that the U.S. government actually belongs to the American people, and not to the highest bidder.
