Acclaimed documentarian Alex Gibney told Variety on Tuesday that he believes he knows the truth behind ongoing claims that SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stole the 2024 election for President Donald Trump.

"One of the most eye-opening revelations in 'Musk' concerns the 2024 presidential election and comes courtesy of Ashley St. Clair, a former far-right pundit who mothered one of Musk’s children after sliding into his Twitter DMs," reported Variety's Marlow Stern and Ethan Shanfeld on Tuesday.

Stern and Shanfeld added that Gibney told them, “I have to be careful with this one because this was the issue on which Elon’s lawyer threatened to sue us. What Ashley told us — and also showed us in terms of the texts she got from Elon — was Elon felt certain that Trump had won long before anybody else knew. And she said, ‘Really? How did you know that?’ And then he sent her a text, and the text said, ‘I found an anomaly in the matrix, and I have 10,000 space lasers that help me understand this.’ Now, what does that mean? Well, obviously that refers in some way to Starlink.”

Gibney further told them, “Nobody thinks — at least I don’t, and I don’t believe Elon did either — that that means he switched votes in the election of 2024, but I do think it meant that he found some way to intercept signals of reporting from ballot places so that he knew well in advance… It puts in your mind this idea that Starlink is not just a means of communication; it’s a means of surveillance and control.”

The Trump White House, when asked by AlterNet in June about the claims that they stole the 2024 election, adamantly denied the accusations.

“AlterNet does nothing more than pump out glorified press releases for the Democrats that are chock full of left-wing conspiracy theories,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told AlterNet at the time. “For the three people reading this, here’s the truth: President Trump is committed to ensuring that Americans have full confidence in the administration of elections. The President has urged Congress to pass the SAVE America Act and other legislative proposals that would establish a uniform standard of photo ID for voting, prohibit no-excuse mail-in voting, and end the practice of ballot harvesting.”

Republicans are aware that Musk is politically and legally vulnerable, regardless of whether he illegally meddled in the 2024 presidential election. As far back as July, then-Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan argued that he should be elected to the Senate to protect Musk from Senate investigations.
