    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.

      Do you really think the White House does not currently have a fiber connection?

      The most likely scenario: this is all just a show.

      They’ll install a bunch of antennas and of course pay Dear Leader’s favorite little drug addict indecent amounts of money, but in the background nothing will change and they’ll use the existing, sane infrastructure.

        Musk is in financial trouble so another government contract would help him a lot. Krasnov is feeds his loyal lackeys. Witness the outrageous White House Tesla car sales stunt.

        I don’t believe nothing will change. I do believe Musk will capture communications and use it to monitor people he believes are his biggest enemies, then use it to best-case blackmail them, worst-case have them arrested in trumped-up (no pun intended) charges.

        Random unknown people are being kidnapped, tortured, and sold internationally as slaves by the government. These are the cases we know about because they are getting to the media. How many are not getting through the Right-supporting media? Do we really think actual opponents aren’t just waiting targets?
