Shiva Ayyadurai in 2024 MA Senate race

On Technology: Suspended from Twitter for challenging electronic ballots

Twitter did not specify why his account was suspended. Ayyadurai said he believes it is because he tweeted about Secretary of State William Galvin and Michelle Tassinari, the state's director of elections. "Twitter was coerced by the Government--Secretary of State Galvin and State Election Director Tassinari because I exposed TASSINARI violated Federal Law by deleting ballot images," Ayyadurai said. "Restore my Twitter account; otherwise, we live in Putin's Russia or Communist China."

Ayyadurai accused Tassinari of deleting a million electronic ballots during the 2020 primary and general election and filed a lawsuit against Galvin and Tassinari to that affect late last year. Galvin and Tassinari have denied the claim, noting the state's ballots are paper.

Ayyadurai has been accused of using social media to spread misinformation.

On Social Security: Higher paying jobs ensure future of Social Security

A: We need to generate high paying jobs. In MA, for every 17 skilled high-tech job openings, only 1 person is qualified. We don't produce enough skilled labor. We need more plumbers, engineers, etc. 80% of the tax revenue comes from 15% of the citizenry. We don't produce enough people who can contribute to the whole. Producing higher paying jobs for lots of people is the only way to ensure the future of Social Security.
