Electrostatic discharge is a serious problem for electronic devices. MIL-STD-883 is the military document that specifies the test methods. There are three equivalent circuits specified, including one called the "Human Body Model." Devices are tested at increasing voltages and classified according to the level that causes them to malfunction. The test voltages and classifications go up to thousands of volts. See the link.
A static potential of 10,000 volts across an insulating object extending several inches would not be unusual. Whether this has any influence on the sonic performance when the object is a cable lifter is another question. There have been reports of temporary improvement when static elimination material is sprayed around cables resting on carpets, so I would not dismiss the claim as "snake oil" without further investigation.
