Do the Dots Connect? What We’re Not Supposed to Ask About the 2024 Election

The claim that Elon Musk used Starlink to rig the 2024 election for Donald Trump is easy to mock. It sounds like a conspiracy theory. That’s the point.

But when you look past the noise, what you find is a series of real, documented facts—connected by powerful actors with motive, means, and access.

It’s worth asking: if all the infrastructure was in place, and the people involved were openly aligned, then why are we so quick to shut down the question?

The Update No One Asked For

Weeks before the 2024 election, ES&S—America’s largest voting machine vendor—pushed software updates to machines in multiple states.

There was no public announcement. No independent audit. No certification process.

The changes affected audit logs, tabulation behavior, and how ballot images were recorded. Federal testing labs were told the update was “de minimis”—too minor to matter.

But election systems are supposed to be locked down. Changing anything weeks before an election isn’t just irregular—it undermines the certification itself.

The Power Supply You Weren’t Meant to Notice

Voting machines don’t run on trust. They run on power.

The vast majority of voting equipment in the U.S. is plugged into Tripp Lite power devices—surge protectors and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units.

These aren’t just batteries. They’re smart devices with programmable firmware, USB and Ethernet ports, and the ability to communicate over networks.

They were never supposed to matter. Until they did.

How Leonard Leo Quietly Wired the System

Tripp Lite was owned by a single man: Barre Seid, a conservative donor.

In 2021, Seid donated the entire company—valued at $1.6 billion—to a dark-money trust controlled by Leonard Leo, the architect of the modern conservative judicial movement.

Leo helped install six of the current Supreme Court justices. He built the legal infrastructure behind Dobbs. And he used his Tripp Lite windfall to build the largest conservative influence machine in U.S. history.

Leo’s trust sold Tripp Lite to Eaton Corporation, which quietly partnered with Peter Thiel’s Palantir in 2024 to provide “AI oversight” and “secure erasure of digital footprints” across Eaton’s devices.

That includes Tripp Lite products still embedded in election infrastructure nationwide.

Starlink Was Activated—And That Matters

On October 30, 2024, Elon Musk’s Starlink activated 265 Direct-to-Cell satellites. These satellites connect directly to devices—no routers, no towers, no traditional infrastructure.

If even one UPS device had an embedded modem—or one piece of voting infrastructure had a compromised port—those satellites provided an untraceable way in or out.

Starlink wasn’t created for elections. But its sudden activation days before Election Day coincided with the rollout of a communications system that could bypass every traditional safeguard.

The Anomalies Speak for Themselves

• Trump flipped 88 counties. Not one flipped blue.

• Kamala Harris underperformed the rest of the Democratic ticket—only on Election Day, only in key swing states.

• Digital ballot images went missing in counties using newly installed verification tools.

• In Rockland County, NY, more voters swore they voted for a candidate than the Board of Elections recorded.

Any one of these could be dismissed. But together, they raise serious questions—especially when the underlying infrastructure was altered and unexamined.

Musk Took Credit—and Control

After the election, Musk posted this on X:

“Without me, Trump would have lost. Dems would control the House. Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.”

This wasn’t a guess. It was a statement of ownership.

Musk spent millions backing Trump. He hosted a 90-minute election night livestream viewed by over 1 million people. He throttled dissent and boosted chaos. Then he claimed he delivered the win.

Days later, he turned on Trump—calling his signature legislation “pork-filled” and threatening to unseat Republicans who voted for it.

Musk wasn’t a supporter. He was a co-operator. And now he’s reminding everyone who made the win possible.

The Experts Say “No Evidence.” But That’s Not the Same as Proof.

Federal agencies and election officials quickly dismissed the idea that Starlink played a role in the election. They said there’s no “evidence of malicious activity.”

They’re not lying. But they’re not investigating either.

There has been no independent forensic review of Tripp Lite power devices, no analysis of Starlink communication logs, and no inventory of which jurisdictions used network-enabled UPS units.

In one known case—Tulare County, California—Starlink was used to support digital pollbooks during voting. Officials insist it wasn’t connected to tabulators. But that admission alone proves the tech was present.

And if it was used once, it could be used again.

We Deserve Answers. Not Dismissals.

This isn’t about overturning an election. It’s about restoring confidence in one.

We need transparency. We need real audits. And we need to know:

• Which counties used network-enabled UPS devices?

• Were any connected to satellite or cellular networks?

• Why were voting machines altered weeks before the election?

• Who authorized these changes?

• Why are the same billionaires with political agendas also controlling the infrastructure?

These are basic questions. The refusal to ask them is the real red flag.

Final Word: This Isn’t a Conspiracy Theory. It’s a Vulnerability Report.

No one is saying Starlink flipped votes. What we’re saying is simple: the power systems, the satellite networks, the firmware changes, and the political motives all existed. And they were all aligned.

The election may not have been hacked—but it was exposed.

And until we investigate that exposure, the integrity of our elections will continue to erode.

As citizens, we have every right to ask:
Do the dots connect?
And if not—why is everyone so afraid to look?
