An election conspiracy theory is spreading on social media alleging that billionaire Elon Musk hacked the 2024 election in favor of President-elect Donald Trump using his Starlink satellite internet company.
Left-wing conspiracy theorists allege that Starlink, a satellite constellation developed by Musk's SpaceX designed to provide high-speed broadband internet across the globe, was connected to the voting machine supply chain.
In 2020, right-wing conspiracy theories nearly upended the peaceful transfer of power after President Joe Biden's victory over then-President Trump. These false claims, some amplified by Trump leading up to the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, were widely condemned by Democrats and left-wing supporters. However, unlike the turmoil of 2020, neither Democratic nominee Kamala Harris nor Biden are fueling the conspiracies following the election defeat.
A 9-minute TikTok video by the account @etheria77 states, for starters, that "California and other swing states were able to use Starlink in order to tally up and to count voting ballots in their state."
The video was shared to X by the @AesPolitics1 account and now has been viewed over 1.6 million times as of Sunday morning.
"This woman just made the most convincing case for Biden to investigate the election. She exposes Starlink," AesPolitics1 wrote in the X post above the video.

Hard to understand.
The claim would seem to be NOT that votes were voted via Starlink. But that results county by county were transmitted to a central tabulation point via the internet, that was using Starlink that moment.
So the votes still exist at each location. A phone call to each should verify the number at that location equals the number at the tabulation center. And this is probably already done as part of procedures.
Should be pretty easy to get Democrat county nodes and Democrat tabulator nodes to announce they do have the same number.
I assumed you were quoting the crackpot guy in Close Encounters. You gave the 1st line, I gave the 2nd one.
And I’m family with that ex-wife sound! :)
Arf!
I confirm it. I saw it all from my chair, with a fifth of medicine in my hand.
