If all White House communications go through Starlink, Musk has access to all of it, to use as he sees fit. Blackmail, enriching himself, selling to the highest bidder. Great move for him financially.
I mean I’m hoping all communication is over SSL/TLS so he would likely only have DNS information.
Not to say this isn’t absolutely horrible and unnecessary, but it isn’t likely as bad as it could be. (Unless Starlink does some man-in-the-middle attacks, and/or has full control of the White House systems to install Starlink certificates, which is a possibility.)

Could still do man in the middle attacks by fucking with the Certs technically
Assuming the idiots install the wrong root certs or click past warnings
