    I would have thought the white house would have already had the best kind of fiber lines available in at least the country, if not the world. But then again, the longer I live the more I see that nothing is done intelligently or is even close to the best it could be.

      They do. My theory is this is a way to transfer out the data DOGE stole avoiding the security of the White House switch system.

        Or also, on top of that, allow new ways for spying on white house traffic later by Musk should he fall out of favor.

        Even if the new stuff is switched off, that is a very valuable heads up for him to go into damage control, extra bribery and stuff even more wicked

      They probably peer with many local networks just for redundancy. I don’t know what the fuck this was.

      Karoline Leavitt, Donald Trump’s White House press secretary, said the installation was done to “improve wifi connectivity on the complex”.

      And they had some DOGE kid climbing on the roof next door for some reason.

      I miss competency.
