Trump to Keep Starlink at the White House

On Monday, June 9, 2025, President Donald Trump stated that he plans to continue using Elon Musk’s satellite internet system at the presidential residence but may relocate his Tesla Model S vehicle elsewhere.
This statement follows a public falling out that began last Thursday, June 5, 2025, involving a series of exchanged insults between Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk after Trump withdrew Jared Isaacman's NASA nomination.
In March 2025, Trump bought a red Tesla Model S to demonstrate his backing of Elon Musk and the company during a period of criticism, and the car has remained parked at the White House ever since.
Trump mentioned that he might reposition the Tesla vehicle occasionally and praised Starlink as a reliable service, noting he has numerous locations to manage and isn’t sure how to utilize them all.
The decision to keep Starlink while possibly relocating the Tesla suggests Trump values the internet service's utility but is distancing from Musk personally amid ongoing tensions.
