Gibney’s documentary says Musk influences elections with his space lasers

Majority view

Reporting confirms that Alex Gibney’s documentary Musk includes allegations and text messages concerning Elon Musk, “ten thousand lasers in space,” and possible influence on the 2024 U.S. election. However, the film does not establish that Musk actually manipulated votes or influenced the election with space lasers; election officials and cybersecurity experts found no connection between Starlink and vote tabulation.

Credible dissent

The documentary presents an allegation or implication of election influence, while Musk’s representatives and election authorities reject any connection between Starlink and vote tabulation. No credible source cited here establishes that space lasers influenced the election.
