Asked about the technical support Musk and DOGE have provided to the federal government, Musk pointed to the overhaul of the country’s air traffic control systems, which is still a work in progress, as well as an upgrade to the White House’s own internet, provided by Starlink, a Musk-owned company.
The upgrade is complete, NBC News confirmed when an aide provided the password to the White House Wi-Fi and reporters logged in to the high-speed service.
Oh, good. Unsecure Starlink connections are certainly better than dedicated fiber lines shielded to prevent signal leak, connected directly to the agencies who protect government communications from hacking. Viva la upgrade.
Fuck you Elon
Fuck off already
Next he needs to hop on his corporate jet and never come back to America.
