The sources note that these internal directives have mostly, if not entirely, been delivered verbally — which they say is unusual for a matter like this. The source with knowledge of the FAA tells Rolling Stone that it appears as though “someone does not want a paper trail.”
I absolutely agree. Verizon should sue, they were well into an agreement prior to Musk's corrupt take over. Starlink sucks and is a polluting source with its metal debris.
“Musk cashes in, the people pay. Trump and his oligarch buddy are looting the state while Americans struggle to survive. Tax dollars for a billionaire? This isn’t democracy – it’s corruption at the highest level.🔥🚨 Follow me – we won’t be sold out!”
Anything you knew prior to Jan 20th is irrelevant. Normalcy has been canceled. This is what dems need to understand. MASSIVE opposition with every means necessary is required. The days of the strongly worded letter are over. Fuck decorum.
I was listening in on a town hall last week and our congressman (who I do like and respect) had indicated how he has written several "strongly worded letters" to the administration and it sounded so pathetic.
Those 4,000 Starlink terminals will be used as door stops. The Verizon net will be a fiber based cloud private infrastructure net for the FAA. No satellite system could ever meet the reliability and redundancy requirements the FAA has always demanded. The physics of radio transmission preclude it.
Here are the new faces of the new Starlink FAA. These are the professionals landing your planes (in case you don’t know, it’s a video game they’re playing so it’s not too stressful)
When a coup happens, the dictator and his cronies steal everything they can. Stealing is by design, and the key goal. The economy shrinks as monopolies/oligarchies replace free markets with higher prices. Just look at venezuela and its destruction of its oil company through cronyism.
Illegal? Sure. But not illegal in the investigate, trial, and go to jail sense. Not illegal in the meaningful fines sense (what would that mean to a man with hundreds of billions?).
More like, the worst thing that happens is very few newspaper articles sense.
When the MAGA/GOP has finally been put down, the new government needs to confiscate SpaceX and Starlink in the name of national security and recovery of fraudulent government contracts. 🧐
DODGE has failed across the board to answer a basic question in startup culture: What problem does this solve? They just went ahead and applied a *solution* nobody asked for.
It’s like deleting files based on size and thinking you saved a bunch of space – until you realize what you just deleted.
If Elon steers government contracts his way it's apparently not corrupt. Not a conflict of interests. Not wasteful spending. Because the Space Nazi is running the government as an extension of his businesses.
Elon grifts: Boring company, hyperloop, cyber truck, robo taxi,Tesla (flat 2024), StarLink works great until they over sell the service and have to litter space with more junk, Mars - yah right, Neurolink is still a science project. None of these would be in business if not for government handouts.
I don’t care, what I am saying is literally factual information. Using ai discredits you, you can’t find real means to express your opinion so you had the lying machine make a simulacrum of what you wish he did.
How many times do you need to see why this guy is doing what he is doing. To take our tax money for his own and the Nazi party is more than happy to let him do it.
But there are no Federal Conflict of Interest problems with that, #KashPatel??? Selective FBI enforcement, or are you just going to spend 4 years hunting down your personal enemies?
This POS, along with the moldy mango, needs to be run out of this country on a rail. For a supposed genius, he can't string three coherent sentences together. He's like Trump, just an agent of chaos that likes watching people suffer.
Grifting in public w/o fear of the law or deportation...using government resources bought by middle and lower economic strata taxpayers (citizens, residents, documented and alternately documented). Make it STOP!
Desperate times call for desperate measures. They cannot be forced to work. What is dodge gonna do, fire them? Okay. The air travel will be shut down for months.
Verizon won the contract to modernize comms and Elon chose to turn that into a failure story and push starlink. In reality, it’s not even Verizon’s system yet since the contract is so new.
I'm predicting he is going to try FSD on airplanes. Before you say that's a stupid idea that would obviously be catastrophic, take a moment to remember this is big brain elon we're talking about. A grown adult who owns a space rocket company, but doesn't understand earth's curvature.
Do we have to just say it in straight up fucking English at this point? Just like all the other evils in the white house this man deserves to be MURDERED, straight up boinked
Obviously it’s about taking money that was not appropriated for your private company.

Stop putting generic officials in these headlines. Either it is a political appointee, so say "Trump's appointee directed funds..." Or it is career SES who is in an acting role appointed by Duffy, so say "Trump appointee Duffy directed civil servants..."
And name the names
It is also more sinister than that, he is trying to dismantle our government and weaken the US for China and Russia, he’s an ungrateful immigrant and traitor.
Malfeasance with government contracts is probably HALF of all corruption that has ever occurred in American history.
That everyone doesn’t know this and that anyone is surprised when it happens is a testament to how corruption-free our public procurement process is today.
Wow, that's some propaganda. Musk is the biggest welfare queen we have, but claims it was all him Such bs. Musk invented nothing, innovated nothing. Everything he's done came directly from NASA, the DOD, and government grants. He just privatized it. His CIA handler, Mike Griffin, showed him how.
Does anybody realize if musk gets Starlink to take over comcast and other subscribers….. he would have control over where you would get your information
Deport that foreigner. He’s an aid queen. The Boer 🧛🏻 is sucking off of the government’s tit with his supposed contracts and shakedowns. Strip him of his assets and deport him.
Once the FAA/USA becomes dependent on starlink, I can’t wait for Ketamine King to ‘unilaterally’ turn off starlink for the FAA/USA when Russia or Jhina asks. Just like he did in Ukraine.
well we couldnt keep it apparently. i think they assumed ppl would always be willing to fight & die for freedom from tyranny, but Americans got hamstrung by capitalism, the exact sort of corporate domination Jefferson mused about
Really feels like the longer Elon is in power, the fewer options we’ll have to remove him until we’re left with just the one. May be there already to be honest.
Or what about bankrupted? or hacked by the very minions you probably exploit who turn to revenge in what's left of their bones? or imprisoned because all are equal before the law? So many other options to make you STOP.
For when you need to run an airport on a 100/50 high latency connection and not the five nines Verizon fiber that has teams ready to dispatch to fix your equipment
I'm curious to know who actually gave the order. If nobody's name is on it, it's not real. Yes, I understand how soft power works, but one of the ways you push back on it is by asking for tacit things to be made as explicit as possible, and acting like you don't understand them until they are.
I don't blame low-level folks who are terrified of losing their jobs for following what sound like orders. But one of the things we teach folks is to ask, "Am I being directed to do this?" when it's not clear, and if the manager doesn't say yes, then it's not an order.
Trying to replace the Verizon network or even the current HarrisL3 net with Starlink is setting up a massive failure of the ATC. I've written responses to RFPs for FAA comms services and this is CRAZY, NUTS and an example of Fraud, Waste and Abuse by Elon.
Obviously they pay no attention to requirements. They look at this like they do things at spacex or Tesla. We make it, put it out, if it breaks, we fix the break, and keep doing that until it works. Like air traffic communications can be test launched like a rocket.
But wait he said he was doing it at no cost to the American people? (I know spoiler alert oligarchs never do anything for free, they always want more money)
most of his companies, Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, are only successful through a combination of government funding and the government failing to hold them to regulatory oversight for financial, environmental, labor & safety laws
Right. Startups are Ponzi schemes built with debt and paid for with loans on dept. value is unrealized.his house of cards is starting to fall, but he can save himself by stealing USDs
Then once they ruin the financial system, they can claim fiat is dead and replaced with bitcoin
This entire administration is a complete takeover of the government they won’t even obey judges orders. They may not obey SCOTUS, if it should rule against them. They say that would be a cons. crisis as if this isn’t one already.
The only way to get rid of this is impeach. He’s got all levels of Gov thanks to idiots who voted for this shit (or the fake election that gave them both houses of Congress).
Comments
I'll bet they don't.
He injected himself, and Starlink" into an FAA contract.
Conflict of Interest right in front of our faces after inauguration.
REPEAT, DOGE is a heist, REPEAT, DOGE is a Heist!
What a dummy. That is liable.
We need a *real* opposition. Democrats will do nothing unless we make them.
You're a fucking nightmare.
More like, the worst thing that happens is very few newspaper articles sense.
Let's make any Republicans have pause and consider...
Voters didn't vote for turning our back on Ukraine.
Voters didn't vote to decimate their local communities.

Now the FAA is called upon to "find" millions for Trump's top donor, the ketamine-fueled kleptomaniac Musk; but where's the pushback in 2025?
.

This entire admin is just so corrupt!!!
I keep asking myself, "What if Joe had landed JUST ONE of these punches?"
#doge #corruption
Also a clear conflict of interest and must in some way be illegal.... or not given Musk isn't an official.

If so, it’d be interesting to know how Starlink’s bid compared to Verizon’s and why Starlink lost.
Any terminated FAA contracting personnel out there?

You could have gotten the same benefit if you donated 250+ million to the campaign.
America is officially a Plutocracy.
I wonder if this is what those misguided MAGA voters voted for?
No?
Well, they got it anyway.
Starlink for FAA is more than just a conflict of interest, it’s a way for Elon to hold America hostage in the very same way.
How much longer are you going to let them do this to you?
