Because Musk has mad conflicts of interest
A laundry list
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
“Are you suggesting I don’t understand Wi-Fi?”, US Press secretary… Probably
Ominous voice: “She doesn’t.”
It’s not ominous; that’s just the narrator. It’s their job to sound serious. Simply professional courtesy, you see.
Yes, yes I am. Can you tell me which security standard you are using? WEP or WPA? (If they answer WPA) And which type?
Don’t mock them. Snowflakes will remove WPA just because they can’t explain it hence it’s bad and you’ve got nothing to hide if you’re not guilty. So no more wireless protection and police are allowed to connect and check your home networks without a warrant.
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.
I mean I’m hoping all communication is over SSL/TLS so he would likely only have DNS information.
Not to say this isn’t absolutely horrible and unnecessary, but it isn’t likely as bad as it could be. (Unless Starlink does some man-in-the-middle attacks, and/or has full control of the White House systems to install Starlink certificates, which is a possibility.)
Could still do man in the middle attacks by fucking with the Certs technically
Assuming the idiots install the wrong root certs or click past warnings
They have zero idea. It’s bidirectional satellite, and not low-latency, so…ELON SAID SO
Because unlike fiber, which you can install and reasonably expect to work with minimal maintenance or other costs for years, Starlink has a guaranteed revenue stream by way of planned obsolescence. We will be constantly launching satellites to keep up replacement of the ones that are deorbitted, and that cost will naturally be passed on to the taxpayer.
Not that fiber installs aren’t also a grift. After all, how many times has the American taxpayer paid for rural broadband?
Starlink is the purest definition of “space junk.”
“Orbiting vintage space equipment “
I question if this fulfills security requirements.
Hmmm, monitoring employees and funneling info, huh?
That’s just the new direct line to our great comrade Putties poot.
Grifters gonna grift
Gathering blackmail.
Like his semen he spreads his companies everywhere.
It’s in series for rubes.
Starlink tax breaks next year
Because trump wants to reward leon for his servitude and contributions with a huge ass government contract.
Starlink is free the first month, but after that it’s 19,999,999.00 a month. Data theft is a free bonus.
