That’s what happens when your administration doesn’t care about people using their own devices. None of these people are using official government devices and communications protocols. They’re all using their own private phones and communicating via signal. In a normal administration, you would have to surrender any private electronics before being let into the oval office. But because they’re arrogant and don’t care about security, it’s easy for anyone there to record what is being said.

As far as why? Simple power play. Musk currently holds a lot of power and influence in the administration. And if he’s driven out, then that power and influence will flow to someone else.

DOGE cut the security guard that checks for devices.
