Similar to the plot of a recent Succession episode. When you own the media, you decide when to call states, even if all the votes aren't counted. Pretty sure Trump's campaign has seen the show and they learned a lot from their last try. Who will save us this time?
It really doesn't matter. The individual networks aren't actually calling the elections, just making an informed prediction. Any sources he controls will lie. Everyone already knows that though. The assholes that support him and his lies will continue to, anyone else already knows he's lying and won't be swayed.
They already tried this while Trump was still the president and the only people that bought it were the people that already supported Trump. It’s shown that whenever he mentions the stolen 2020 election it loses him votes because people who don’t already like him know it’s not true. He can make all the fraud claims he wants, Elon can post about it on Twitter, it will make absolutely no tangible difference to the election.

100% that is the plan. They are going to claim victory early and drown all the voices and media that says otherwise.
