Starlink questions [View all]

What is Starlink?

Can it upload and or download data?

Was Starlink being used by the Trump Campaign/Musk/Russia in our elections?

Is the internet story correct that Starlink was being used only in Swing States?

Is this statement correct?

“So now back to Skylink Musk / Trump and stealing an election. They could have manipulated the results without oversight by bypassing the national election network and using Musk's Skylink communications.”
(Posted by usaf-vet thanx to him/her)

Would the NSA - FBI - CIA - military intelligence know about or be able to find out about Starlink’s use
during our elections?

Was Starlink Trump’s “little secret” he was talking about?
