Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy basically declares that Congress should give SpaceX money to help modernize the Air Traffic Control system. There are other companies besides SpaceX who could also do it. Why would SpaceX get the contract? 🤷♀️

"Leon" wants to replace a robust network with one he owns, which has horrible latency and bandwidth. Just imagine your plane is about to land or take off, and the air traffic controllers get a "Buffering..." message on their screen. 🤷♂️
His cars catch on fire, his rockets explode , his programs that are paid for is threatened to be “ turned off” if he feels like it. Doesn’t sound to me like a place I’d put a whole lot of tax payer $$$🤯
Why let any private enterprise do the government’s job?
Do you like adding at least 20% to the cost of everything?
Have you ever even listened to ATC?
Do you know how many layers there are?
The tower controllers are just the tip of the iceberg.
I’m not flying until Elon is out of the FAA.
There is already another company doing it, they're almost done - changing it now to give elon even more gov't welfare money is not going to help, they'll have to start from scratch - it's a money grab (and it's our money)
The fix is in but Space x is the worst. All airlines, their lobbyists and pilots should walk away until they say not Spacex. When planes fall and people die, you think Spacex will be liable? Uhhhm no. No thanks 😡🤬
It a special kind of delusion if people think that Elon donated $300 million to Trumps campaign to help America out of the goodness of his own heart. Doge is really about making sure he is the lone company on the future privatization of government agencies.
Soon we will hear Musk declaring that every plane crash is valuable to learn. That every crashed commercial jet is an opportunity and helps improve AirTrafficX.
I laugh every time I hear the name Sean Duffy. Zero qualifications. A reality TV star from the 90s. The entire cabinet is equally qualified. I hate the magas for this.
Sure, give those contracts & that money to the DUDE who excels at exploding ROCKETS.....put MILLIONS of people's lives in his hands, why not?! What could go wrong?!
SpaceX's only link to air traffic control is that area airspace is shut down for launches. It's like hiring a general contractor to run a city's water system because construction often requires water shut-offs.
How about a flight simulator software company? Synchronized drones? Fireworks displays?
Except the reason we have not upgraded air traffic control system is because all of our air traffic controllers are trained on that system and experts of that system and that system works. Ever hear the fucking saying if its not broke do not fix it?
Duffy has a boner for Elon, except when he tries to lay off ATC's without a mother-may-I.
Unlike Space-X, the ATC system has multiple redundancies that have served it well through the antiquated techno burps, Elon will screw that up quickly.
Secretary of Transportation Russian Sean Duffy basically declares that Congress should give RUSSIASpaceX money to help modernize the American Air Traffic Control system. There are other American companies besides RUSSIASpaceX who could also do it.
Why would RUSSIASpaceX get the contract? 🤷♀️

Got it grifters...
I've never heard of him.
Screw Elon's no bid contract.
