The upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 has become a focal point for conspiracy theorists, who have flooded social media and message boards with wild allegations ranging from the end of the world to secret government plots. Far-right extremists have used the event to push beliefs about elite control, while warnings about potential cell coverage and electrical outages along the eclipse path have only fueled conspiracists' convictions. Coincidental events on April 8, such as the restart of the Large Hadron Collider and the launch of NASA satellites, have also been linked to the eclipse, despite the lack of evidence supporting these claims.
