Sen. Maria Cantwell raised concerns about Elon Musk's access to FAA systems, calling it a conflict of interest. She expressed her worries after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's announcement that Musk's DOGE team would help upgrade aviation systems. Cantwell highlighted Musk's past fines related to safety violations and emphasized the need for more air traffic controllers. She welcomed discussions on enhancing the aviation system but firmly opposed Musk's involvement due to safety concerns, also mentioning the previous FAA administrator's removal as problematic.
It's a clear conflict of interest, and Secretary Duffy should make sure that Mr. Musk is not part of the FAA air transportation system.
The Congress has spoken. We want 3,000 more air traffic controllers.
What we don't welcome is a man who's regulated by this sector and who has had fines for violation of safety.
The last thing I want is that guy trying to control the airspace.
