Musk’s corruption in the White House goes even deeper than we thought

Key Points:

• Newly revealed contracts show SpaceX was paid at least $1.2 million to install Starlink equipment at the White House between March 2025 and June 2026, contradicting earlier claims by the Trump administration that the services were donated.
• The contracts were awarded to the White House Communications Agency, which manages secure communications for the president and officials, raising questions about the exchange of funds and potential misinformation by the previous administration.
• Elon Musk, a major financier of President Trump's 2024 reelection campaign and GOP midterms, faces increased scrutiny as Democrats plan multi-committee investigations into his companies' federal contracts and related government dealings.
• Starlink is already under congressional investigation due to service slowdowns in Ukraine, which critics say aided Russian aggression, while prior bipartisan requests for Pentagon investigations were denied under the GOP majority.
• Democrats aim to examine not only Musk’s contracts but also actions by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a Trump-empowered group accused of disrupting multiple agencies, signaling extensive oversight ahead.
