Imagine strolling through a mundane federal building, and BAM! You find Elon Musk’s Starlink devices perched on the roof, as if they’re auditioning for a sci-fi movie.
That’s exactly what happened when the folks at the General Services Administration (GSA) discovered these tech toys, a revelation that sent shockwaves through the agency—especially IT staffers who, let’s face it, usually have enough drama dealing with outdated equipment and a sea of bureaucracy.
What’s raised eyebrows is the idea that these terminals might be unauthorized intruders potentially siphoning data like they’re at an all-you-can-eat buffet. If the anxiety levels of IT staffers were a dessert, I imagine they’d resemble a chocolate molten lava cake—hot, gooey, and about to explode.
To make it even juicier, a law professor dubbed the GSA a “choke point for all agencies,” implying that anyone with ‘access’ here could tango with a treasure trove of sensitive information.
While Musk is known for his ambitious ventures, this rooftop incident might be crossing a line. So, as we ponder if we should be more worried about uninvited tech guests on our roofs or that lingering question of where our data truly goes, let’s agree on one thing: the age of surprise tech installations is upon us, and it’s only going to get wilder!
