The question that everyone seems to be avoiding is: Why is this conversation happening on Signal? It should be happening on approved secure systems with the appropriate recordkeeping in place.

I believe Musk was promoting Signal, and likely still is. Expect him to chime in that Signal is very safe and secure since it's "end-to-end" encrypted. I assume that means the communications, even if intercepted, can't be decrypted, at least not without an inordinate amount of computing power.

That said, if even one of the phones used was an insecure non-gov't issued phone (*), it would still - presumably - be a violation of security.

(*) - But I'd wager that there'll be some imminent retconning proclaiming that Signal has been the preferred remote meeting platform since Jan 21, and can be securely used even on private phones. ...I wonder who ultimately controls just what a gov't issued and secured phone is? Gabbard?
