Elon Musk’s Starlink stealing votes? An election conspiracy explained

A new conspiracy theory is circulating on social media, alleging that Elon Musk used his satellite internet company, Starlink, to rig the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Voting machine companies and election officials are speaking out against the claims.

The theory suggests that Starlink, developed by Musk’s SpaceX to provide high-speed internet worldwide, was somehow connected to voting machines and manipulated vote counts.

Videos shared on TikTok, which have been viewed millions of times, claim that California and other swing states used Starlink to tally and count ballots.

“This woman just made the most convincing case for Biden to investigate the election,” one video caption, shared by a user on X, said. “She exposes Starlink.”

The conspiracy also spread on Instagram’s messaging app, Threads.

“Musk’s Starlink uploaded votes in swing states,” posts said. “Starlink satellites exploding, destroying evidence.”

According to The Associated Press, voting machines are generally not connected to the internet. While a few jurisdictions do transmit unofficial election results through private networks, this happens only after ballots have been counted and memory cards containing vote tallies have been removed from machines.

Chip Trowbridge, chief technology officer at Clear Ballot, a company approved by the Election Assistance Commission, said machines used for scanning ballots are not capable of connecting to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth networks.

“Those systems absolutely cannot have any network,” Trowbridge siad. “In fact, if you look at the machines from Clear Ballot, the only wire that comes out of them is a power cord.”

PolitiFact was among the outlets to debunk the theory, speaking to election officials in swing states who confirmed that election security protocols prevent voting equipment from ever being connected to the internet during ballot tabulation.

The conspiracy theory gained further traction after a Starlink satellite reentered Earth’s atmosphere and exploded on Nov. 10, with some speculating it was an attempt to destroy evidence of a stolen election. However, PolitiFact also spoke with NASA officials, who said such reentries have been happening “almost daily for the past few years.”

Social media platforms are taking action against the latest conspiracy.

Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, is flagging posts as part of its efforts to combat misinformation. Posts related to the conspiracy on X now include “Community Notes,” providing context and debunking the Starlink election-rigging claims.

YES!!! Biden needs to investigate RIGHT NOW before if gets to late. Remember, Biden has the same immunity that Trump has and can hang onto the presidency through executive order, until there is a thorough investigation of the 2024 election and Starlink and to include Elon Musk.

It's funny. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, though didn't they steal voting machine internal data in 2020. That woman in Coffee County, no? And are you serious? The only wire coming out of the box is a power cord? How stupid are these people. There's not even a wire coming out of my cell phone. Ever heard of bluetooth? Not saying it was hacked , just poor reporting here.

Elon did say, "Anything Can Be Hacked." Elon declared trumps win hours before the count was over. Just like he manipulated the views Biden got from him being at the same SuperBowl as Musk. He left the game, and wouldn't you know it, Musk all of the sudden was up by triple more than Biden.

Wake up sister, The Russians are complicit in this big time and understand the change did not happen on the ground it happened in the “Star-link Satellite” with help from instructions from dear old Elon. Now that Elon and Vladimir are known the DOJ can proceed with help from intelligence sources not to be confused with the lack there of.

I think it's the mail-in ballots. Trump appointed DeJoy to be in charge of the US postal service, and many mail-in votes just "happened" to disappear and not be counted.

During the last election, DeJoy threw out perfectly good mail sorting machines and hampered mail delivery right after Trump told his voters NOT to vote by mail.

I think now is a great time to reflect on how you felt about the other party when they had this same exact reaction four years ago. Did you call them crazy? Did you wonder how anyone could possibly believe such nonsense? Well wonder no more, because you're there now. And that’s okay, it happens. Nobody is immune to propaganda. You need to remember that political propaganda is all about making anyone who disagrees with you appear evil. You don't want to talk to evil people, you want to knock them down and kick em. And of course evil people would steal an election, why wouldn't they? Meanwhile your party would NEVER steal an election if given the chance, right? Now listen, if after all that you still believe the 2024 election was stolen, I have the perfect person to advise you on how to storm the capitol her name is Sarah Jennine Davis and she'll help you invest your money in all kinds of offensive measures from assault rifles to ballistic shields. Stop that steal with Sarah Jennine Davis the number one insurrection expert. She helped me storm my local PTA meeting after they voted against teaching the bible in sex ed. I don't even have a kid in that school but thanks to Sarah Jennine Davis I walked in there looking like The Punisher and you can bet they listened to me after that!
