Musk spent at least $132 million to secure the White House and Congress for Republicans. While his satellite internet company Starlink represents a fraction of his empire, which includes Tesla, SpaceX and X, analysts say it’s a “mind-blowingly” profitable fraction .

Left-leaning social media users are claiming Elon Musk, the billionaire Telsa and SpaceX CEO turned top Donald Trump surrogate, used his Starlink internet service provider to manipulate the vote count in the 2024 presidential election in the Republican's favor.

Contrary to claims alleging election fraud, the vast majority of voting equipment is not connected to the internet and therefore could not be influenced by Starlink.
