What could go wrong?
Starlink In The White House Definitely Isn't A Major National Security Risk, Nope, Not One Bit

In a move that absolutely everyone could have seen coming, the White House now has Starlink. Don't worry, though; Elon Musk didn't sent a broccoli-haired teen onto the White House roof to install a terminal the federal government had paid for. According to the White House, Musk donated it and even checked with an ethics lawyer in the White House Counsel's office before doing so, the New York Times reports. If you're concerned about security, though, don't be. The White House's official position is that it "did not consider this matter a security incident or security breach."

Jake Williams, a vice president for research and development at the cybersecurity firm Hunter Strategy, told the NYT that "t's super rare" to replace government infrastructure that's already been vetted and secured with Starlink or other new internet tech. "I can't think of a time that I have heard of that," he said, "It introduces another attack point. But why introduce that risk?"
