Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

However, that violates prohibitions against self-dealing AND government contracting statutes and regulations. This isn’t an emergency to get a new system. It’s standard to put out various requests
RFQ: Request for Qualifications
RFP: Request for Proposals
It’s designed to provide transparency and to allow for fair play. Musk wants a sole source contract awarded through executive fiat.

Except the problem is…if they starve out the customer, nobody can buy the phones, eggs, cars or otherwise.
Then CEOs, the billionaires, and the hedge fund types will have to start eating each other.
anything that benefits the billionaire class = good use of taxpayer money
The thing about DT&co. is that it's approaching 90% false and some of it is so outrageously false, but their followers still lap it up.
OUT‼️
more $ for muskrat
So that's what they are doing
Rigging it in their favor
Fraud = Trump
Abuse = Putin
Feel free to mix and match
The MuskRat just can’t steal enough from our government

Sad Trump also got rid of Regulations so the Rich can do more destruction to USA!
Seems Dr Strangelove was the exact prequel…
His Space-X gets to come on FAA, his Starlink taking over radar FAA, his people take over treasury & other government sources!
That is what it was all about! The money he used to buy the elections will quickly get over 100% profit from our hard worked taxes. This is very nauseating.
(The poorly educated are still looking for those lower prices of eggs and for living in a completely white nation.)
Maybe there is a mole on the inside…
If they really want to improve and make efficient, then update what is currently used, possibly add starlink. Satellite are not solid enough for this use as a stand alone air traffic control tool.
End ALL of fElon’s government contracts NOW!!
DEPORT….DEPORT…DEPORT!
How did this ever come to this!! A Trump as a leader, totally out of touch with God!! How then America!! How then?!

Good one!!
That’s why he shutdown USAID because they were investigating him for shutting down Starlink over Ukraine.
No. Don’t do this.
I'd confirm this independently before believing. But the account has been accurate in the past.
I hate Muskrat.
What in the current communications system is not up to the task at hand?
How will the change benefit passenger safety?
What are the tradeoffs? Chaos during the switchover? Retraining? Established reliability of the new system?
Without a paper trail! Awesome
BOYCOTT!
apparently it’s all going to Elon.
He is harassing agencies that were investigating him and repurposing contracts to his own pockets.
Scumbag traitors
Hard to believe that SCOTUS actually thought this was what they were condoning
Nothing nefarious going on.
They don't know how to fire the nukes, right? Because all the people that were working got fired, right?
I love this for them.
"I love shopping at understaffed stores" said no one ever. They're finally feeling our pain. Right?
What hope do we have left? All of it
...The deal with Starlink means that the FAA will have to terminate its existing deal with Verizon, and according to reports, this is the route that the agency plans to take to improve its systems...musk should not have this kind of power - directly or indirectly...
