Elon Musk’s Starlink internet is now active at the White House. Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said the setup aims to improve WiFi connectivity. The installation was handled by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a Musk-led entity involved in federal projects.Unlike standard Starlink setups, this one routes service through a government data center miles away using fiber-optic cables.A DOGE employee tried installing a Starlink terminal on the Eisenhower Executive Office Building roof without proper coordination, causing a security alert. The White House later confirmed it was authorized, and the issue was resolved.Cybersecurity expert Jake Williams warned that adding satellite internet where fiber already exists creates unnecessary security risks.#Starlink #WhiteHouse #ElonMusk #Trump #Internet #TechNews #CyberSecurity #WiFi #Government
