Elon Musk's Starlink at the White House A New Era of Connectivity or a Conflict of Interest
So, Starlink is now blanketing the White House with its space-age internet. Intriguing, to say the least. While better connectivity is always welcome, the fact that Musk, a presidential advisor and major Trump donor, controls Starlink raises some eyebrows. Is this a genuine effort to improve White House communications, or are we witnessing the blurring of lines between private enterprise and government operations? Where does convenience end and potential conflict of interest begin? What kind of precedent does this set for future administrations? Your thoughts? I predict this will be a hotly debated topic for years to come.
