They do. My theory is this is a way to transfer out the data DOGE stole avoiding the security of the White House switch system.

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.

Actually, he “donated” it and did so publicly. A contract for an area as small as the white house grounds would be too small for him to care.

Ahh, so just advertising then.
