Elon Musk’s Starlink was installed on the White House roof—Dems say it may ‘undermine national security’ by exposing sensitive data to hackers

Elon Musk’s DOGE team reportedly installed a Starlink satellite internet system in the White House despite the objections of government security experts.

The Trump security lapses continue to roll on. I remember hearing about Russians attempting to to access new endpoints within seconds. Wonder if they had the password. Before you whine But Russia, Russia, Russia, these events did and continue to happen. Weird.

Also how does hardware get installed in the White House without security approval? Interesting workaround to national security protection protocols.

Also this seems like a great way to sneak contact and Americas data to literally anywhere.

Report: Trump Administration Ignored Advice When Installing Starlink at the White House

A Wi-Fi network called ‘Starlink Guest’ appeared on White House phones, asking only for a password and not a username or a second form of authentication, The Washington Post reports.

Nice OP.

My bad.
 
100% without a doubt they are lying about the reason for installing StarLink in the White House.

You do NOT need StarLink to improve WiFi in the White House. The White House has dedicated fiber, that is superior to StarLink in literally every way (latency, rate jitter, bandwidth, etc.) except that it is protected by the US national security apparatus.

The ONLY justification to use StarLink is to bypass US nat sec. This should make every American’s blood boil.
 

No shit? I've been saying this since DOGE was created.
