The FAA is currently “close” to canceling a major contract with Verizon in favor of Elon Musk’s Starlink, according to a bombshell new report from the Washington Post.
In another era, one company winning a big government contract over another company wouldn’t be a huge deal.
But in the era of DOGE, Musk is essentially running the entire federal government from top to bottom. And it looks an awful lot like self-dealing.
The $2.4 billion contract was awarded to Verizon in 2023, according to the Post, and upgrades the systems that allow FAA offices to communicate with air traffic control facilities.
But Musk has been critical of Verizon in recent days, writing on X Monday that its system “is not working and so is putting air travelers at serious risk.” Musk provided no evidence for his claim.

You really need to stop asking him questions. Seriously. You won't get an answer the first time around...maybe the 30th time asked , but never the first.

I have Verizon cell service. It's not even close to great.
I'm not that far from a major corridor and there are no mountains and valleys.
Fairly flat, no big buildings. Shockingly there are trees all over the place in Michigan!
Verizon can't quite defeat the tree problem and they are only 100 feet up in the air.

It could be answered just fine. You can't answer questions THE FIRST TIME.

It's pretty hard for me to have an opinion here unless I am equipped with at least that much intel.
