Elmo's DOGE goons transmitted a large amount of data—all of it undetected—using a Starlink Wi-Fi terminal they installed on top of the White House, according to a new report. Via The Daily Beast:
Starlink is a satellite Wi-Fi service owned and operated by Musk’s SpaceX. The DOGE goons installed it in mid-March with the sign-off of Donald Trump’s administration, but against concerns raised by security officials, according to The Washington Post.
The officials in charge of protecting the White House’s communications were not informed of the installation ahead of time, insiders told the Post.
At the time, DOGE said installing Starlink was intended to address connection “dead zones” on the White House compound.
However, the insiders suggested that the move was intended to bypass White House systems that track the transmission of data—with names and time stamps—and secure it from spies.
You don't say! Coincidentally, Elmo's dad was in Moscow last week to make a speech at a conference organized by a Putin advisor.

Before Musk departed the government—and blew up his relationship with Trump—he was busy laying siege to sensitive government databases, including the one that handles Social Security, sparking concerns from critics.
In April, a whistleblower at the National Labor Relations Board accused the Musk-led department of a “significant cybersecurity breach.” Daniel Berulis, an IT staffer, said he saw anomalously large data transfers and sign-in attempts from Russia after DOGE took over his agency’s systems.
In that case, the DOGE staffers insisted that their actions in the system not be tracked.
So Trump's completely checked out from doing his job. I'm sure the national media will get right on that and pound him relentlessly!
