Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?
Stealing the election, in the way you're talking about, is extremely difficult in the modern day. There are a lot of safeguards, paper ballot backups, random recounts and spot-checks. A lot of it is run very locally by people who care quite a lot about the fairness of it. Twenty years ago, you used to have to trust the software and it would just spit out a number, which was horribly unsafe and caused a lot of people to become very upset. It's actually fairly likely that the Republicans stole some elections in places like North Carolina while that was the system. Modern elections in the US are not bulletproof, but they're now better than that. It's not nearly as simple as "the uplink is Starlink so they can change the numbers en route." It just doesn't work that way.
It's hard for me to argue for the negative that it didn't happen, but this combines stuff that sounds unlikely, stuff that is extremely specific weird speculation like the Starlink thing, and wild stuff that to me is clearly untrue, in a way that leads me to question why the heck it has 50 upvotes.
The real plan is much worse.

Whistleblower Alleges AI-Driven Election Interference
A former X (formerly Twitter) employee anonymously shared allegations on Substack claiming the platform was intentionally manipulated during the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
According to the whistleblower, X’s algorithms were adjusted under Elon Musk’s leadership to prioritize pro-Trump and right-wing content. Some left-wing posts critical of Democrats were also boosted, but allegedly only to create a façade of balance.
AI-Generated Propaganda: The whistleblower alleges that thousands of fake accounts were created using advanced AI systems, Grok and Eliza, to disseminate political messaging. These accounts were designed to imitate real users and reportedly pushed targeted propaganda related to Trump’s economic claims, border policies, and cryptocurrency initiatives.
To support these claims, the whistleblower pointed to a breadcrumb in the Eliza documentation, which describes how AI profiles could be pre-configured with specific narratives and responses. One example, allegedly labeled “Trump,” was programmed to amplify campaign messaging.

Evidence of Election Hacking
Stephen Spoonamore, a cybersecurity expert, issued a “Duty to Warn” letter to Vice President Kamala Harris, outlining evidence of vote manipulation in key swing states during the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Working with Smart Elections, Spoonamore revealed that voting tabulators were allegedly programmed to alter results after processing 400 ballots (up from 600 in 2020), a tactic designed to evade detection during recounts.
This tampering reportedly influenced outcomes in critical states, supported by findings in an analysis of Clark County’s election results.
Additional irregularities included the use of “bullet ballots,” where votes were cast only for the presidential race. These disproportionately favored Trump and deviated significantly from historical norms, suggesting deliberate interference.
