Following reports of potential conflicts of interest, a group of Democratic senators has called for an investigation into Elon Musk's dealings with the FAA. They fear his position may enable him to favor Starlink, his satellite company, in FAA contracts, particularly a substantial contract previously held by Verizon. This follows an ethics complaint from the Campaign Legal Center raising concerns over possible violations of conflict of interest laws. The urgency of scrutiny over Musk's actions is part of broader discussions on ethics in government interactions with private businesses.
The letter, sent by Sens. Chris Van Hollen, Richard Blumenthal, and Elizabeth Warren, demands an investigation into potential conflict of interest by Elon Musk regarding FAA dealings.
We are concerned that Musk may be using his government role to benefit his own private company, leading to implications for fair competition and ethics in government.
