The article discusses Elon Musk's controversial position as an advisor while allegedly profiting at the expense of taxpayers. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reportedly considering canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to benefit Musk’s SpaceX. This move raises serious concerns regarding conflicts of interest, especially following budget cuts and staff reductions at the FAA. Critics are alarmed by Musk's influence in light of recent aviation tragedies, questioning who is advocating for the public's needs amidst his corporate interests.
"Because of Musk's current position in DOGE and his closeness to Trump, he and his company are getting an advantage and getting a contract," Santa Clara University ethics center director John Pelissero told WaPo.
"Musk took aim at Verizon earlier this week, arguing in a tweet that its 'system is not working and so is putting air travelers at serious risk.'"
