    this was nothing that some Ethernet and some APs couldn’t fix. and as for the cellular issues, you’re literally the White House. Throw up a femtocell, you already have fiber for backhaul.

    this is such fucking nonsense. Starlink is fixing precisely none of this.

      I mean I think it’s safe to say these issues never existed in the first place. Nothing but more fables from the liar in Chief.

        agree 100%, I just find what limited joy I can in pointing out that this is likely bullshit and at best a con. I also get a kick out of shitting on Musk for pretending to know what he’s talking about when it comes to tech :)
