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?"

I'm sure the CCP will also be listening carefully.

Therein lies the problem, doesn't it? Perhaps the Gov't needs to join the 21st century. Nice of Elon to donate the technology.

You are of the belief that the White House doesn't have wifi?

The real question: Is it safe? Like all things Trump, that would be no. It is as unsafe, as it is unethical. This fits right in with his track record of incompetence. We can never forget that he stole nuclear secrets and then refused to give them back. The security of this once great nation is being compromised by the Commander in Chief. Willingly compromised.
