35. Also, lasers have fuck-all to do with Starlink's potential to interfere with voting machines.

The Starlink network does not use lasers to communicate with the earth. It uses radio waves, like almost all commercial satellites. Starlink ground stations then send the signal to conventional internet servers to be distributed around the globe.

If somebody were to try to fuck voting machines (most, by law, are never connected to the internet), there would be no reason to originate the attack from satellites because it's just an extra unnecessary step.

I'm sure Elon Musk's mention of "space lasers" to this influencer person wasn't him trolling her. It's not like he has a lengthy public record of lying to people.
