Elon Musk Goes Into FULL PANIC As New Scandal Erupts

Elon Musk Goes Into FULL PANIC As New Scandal Erupts

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract awarded to Verizon (VZ.N), opens new tab to overhaul a communications system, and awarding the work to Elon Musk's Starlink, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

While Elon Musk hacks away at the federal bureaucracy in the name of “efficiency,” his company Starlink appears poised to steal a multibillion-dollar government contract from Verizon.

The Federal Aviation Administration is on the cusp of canceling a $2.4 billion contract to overhaul the communication system for the nation’s air traffic control system and handing it to the SpaceX subsidiary instead, The Washington Post reports, citing two unnamed sources briefed on the plans. The news was also confirmed by Bloomberg and The Associated Press.

It’s unclear exactly how this would unfold — whether the FAA would hand some of the work to Starlink while allowing Verizon to continue its own effort or simply cancel the contract with Verizon and award it to Starlink. Whatever the outcome, it is sure to raise accusations of favoritism, cronyism, and conflicts of interest, as Musk continues to serve as the face of the Department of Government Efficiency-run effort to slash spending and lay off federal workers, despite the structural damage that causes.
