Conspiracy theory links Starlink to 2024 election manipulation claims

A conspiracy theory is spreading online, claiming that Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet was used to manipulate the 2024 election in favor of President-elect Donald Trump. The theory suggests Starlink was linked to voting machines in swing states. The claims gained traction through a viral TikTok video, which has over 1.6 million views. However, experts note that most voting machines are not connected to the internet, reducing the likelihood of such interference. Previous investigations into voting integrity have found no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Musk has previously expressed skepticism about trusting computer programs in elections, contributing to ongoing conspiracy theories about voting technology.
