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.
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
It's just another way to give Elon public money.
Ahh, so just advertising then.
They probably peer with many local networks just for redundancy. I don't know what the fuck this was.
And they had some DOGE kid climbing on the roof next door for some reason.
I miss competency.
