Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

- ttyprintk 2y agoThey say it’s been donated. Does that make the simplest explanation more like: This is a special line for Trump and Musk to feel secure from eavesdropping?
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agoMore likely a special line for Musk and Thiel to keep an eye on Trump and anyone at the White House
- ttyprintk 2y agoThat would justify the major objection coming from Secret Service, for sure. So we’re left wondering: how did Musk describe this to Trump? Was someone else in the room to offer an alternative, more patriotic view?
