Musk's Doge Goon Accidentally Triggered Secret Service Alert in White House (thedailybeast.com)

This is a clickbait headline about the guy on the roof which doesn't capture the real weirdness at the core of the article which is why the guy was on the roof in the first place. How does starlink help anyone but Musk in this situation?

"Goon" is much more apllicable to the USIP saga where they visited the home of a VP of a security company and forced them to hand over the key to a building they no longer were contracted to secure, with the threat of losing other government contracts. That story is getting wild.

Is this how Silicon Valley runs day to day? I knew they were conspiring to illegally depress wages, harass reporters, circumvent regulations, bribe regulators, con people out of their shares etc. but this seems an extra level of norm shredding even by that standard.
