Claim: Musk used Starlink to ‘steal’ US election
Left-wing conspiracy theorists allege the 2024 US presidential election was rigged through manipulation by Elon Musk’s Starlink network, with claims of 20 million votes disappearing and Starlink interfering with vote-counting machines spreading across platforms like X, Threads, and TikTok. There is no evidence to support the claims spreading on social media. US voting machines are typically disconnected from the internet in order to prevent interference.
