Did Elon Musk use satellites to steal US election victory from Kamala Harris? Here's what Left-wing conspiracy theorists are saying

Various conspiracy theories including unsubstantiated claims have gained traction on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Threads, and TikTok. One widely shared video, claiming that Starlink was used to tamper with vote-counting machines, has garnered over 100,000 likes and nearly 900,000 views on TikTok. Other posts suggest Musk, a known Trump ally, may have known the outcome hours before it was officially announced, and even accuse him of sabotaging evidence. Hashtags such as #TrumpCheated and #SwingStateHandRecount have spread across the platforms, fueling false narratives.

However, there is no evidence to support these claims. US voting systems are generally disconnected from the internet to prevent interference, and Jen Easterly, director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, affirmed there was no sign of any malicious activity affecting election integrity. The allegations of "missing votes" stem largely from delayed counting in states like California, where a large portion of ballots are still being processed.

Misinformation campaigns have been amplified by both fake and genuine social media accounts. According to a disinformation tracking firm, fake accounts were initially behind the spread of the #DoNotConcedeKamala hashtag, which was later picked up by multiple influencers spread across the US. This mirrors the "Stop the Steal" movement that gained momentum following Trump’s loss in 2020.


Grace Rahman, a fact-checking expert, warned that such unfounded claims could erode public trust in the election process. She urged people to consult reliable sources before spreading misinformation, as the consequences of such claims can be damaging, even without evidence to support them.
