The crux of their argument is that people split the ballot, but the same thing happened in the opposite direction in 2020.

Complete tinfoil conspiracy nonsense. Musk and Thiel hacked the election with Starlink? How is that meant to work? Maybe next you can say that Trump used spirit cooking or fluoride mind control or something to win. It's literally the same crackpot magical thinking of connecting random strands of information and interpreting out-of-context quotes as when people tried to "prove" that Hillary was a reptilian and 2020 was stolen.

I was trying to look for the conspiracy in this but then the story started sounding really plausible
TL;Dr billionaire buys company that make UPSs that are connected directly to voting machines and allowed to have their firmware/drivers updated without checks. Same company contracts Palantir and a new Starling contract - the implication being they've snuck SIM cards into their UPSs and are communicating via Starlink from what should be airgapped systems connected directly to voting machines.
Of course why go to the hassle of Starlink when you can just use any cell provider, and surely surely hardware changes to the UPS, like adding a SIM card, are audited?
