    I think the confusion lies around the word “terminal.” Starlink sent internet service terminals to swing states in the US with questionable internet, not voting terminals. As far as I can see, they don’t make voting machines (though that would be terrifying and is probably up next). I wasn’t able to see whether the Canadian government relied on them for internet service surrounding the election.

      Imagine if the guy who was caught cheating automobile mileage with algorithmic estimates would also cheat votes. I mean what would he have to gain besides securing lucrative government contracts and dismantling agencies investigating his companies? All under the mask of helping save the future and environment with electric cars, I mean saving imaginary trillions in government waste.
