If all White House communications go through Starlink, Musk has access to all of it, to use as he sees fit. Blackmail, enriching himself, selling to the highest bidder. Great move for him financially.
May be that official comms are MITMed by the three letters, as they should be, and they need a secure channel to commit treason on.
How the fuck does one of the biggest governments in the world with access to a top tier it department think the upgrade is starlink and not another fibre cable or more access points. Whatever the problem starlink for a city building is not the solution.
Because there is a horse loose in the hospital.
This happened before, and we thought it was such a fun time that we invited the horse back to the hospital. The horse is loose in the hospital again, and we are here for it. That’s what they’re telling us.
Help please let me out of the hospital
Do you really think the White House does not currently have a fiber connection?
The most likely scenario: this is all just a show.
They’ll install a bunch of antennas and of course pay Dear Leader’s favorite little drug addict indecent amounts of money, but in the background nothing will change and they’ll use the existing, sane infrastructure.
Maybe they want a connection that government regulators or security can’t monitor
It really seems like a security failure waiting to happen
I don’t believe nothing will change. I do believe Musk will capture communications and use it to monitor people he believes are his biggest enemies, then use it to best-case blackmail them, worst-case have them arrested in trumped-up (no pun intended) charges.
Random unknown people are being kidnapped, tortured, and sold internationally as slaves by the government. These are the cases we know about because they are getting to the media. How many are not getting through the Right-supporting media? Do we really think actual opponents aren’t just waiting targets?
Oh yes, please do “improve”… With the Starlink priority plans you’ll have amazing speeds such as 40-220 Mbps down/8-25 Mbps up 😂😂
They’re gonna shit their pants with excitement when they experience these speeds^^
Yikes I had no idea the speeds were so bad. Even my Australian internet is significantly faster
