Satellite internet now reaches the presidential residence thanks to a donation from Elon Musk's SpaceX, according to a New York Times story. But will it actually help staffers get a better signal?

Elon Musk is making his presence felt in the Trump administration as an adviser and de facto leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, but the billionaire’s Starlink system is also leaving a growing mark on the federal government.
