Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy wrote yesterday:
America deserves safe, state-of-the-art air travel, and President Trump has ordered that I deliver a new, world-class air traffic control system that will be the envy of the world. To do that, I need advice from the brightest minds in America.
I’m asking for help from any high-tech American developer or company that is willing to give back to our country.
Tomorrow, members of @elonmusk’s SpaceX team will be visiting the Air Traffic Control System Command Center in VA to get a firsthand look at the current system, learn what air traffic controllers like and dislike about their current tools, and envision how we can make a new, better, modern and safer system.
Because I know the media (and Hillary Clinton) will claim Elon’s team is getting special access, let me make clear that the @FAANews regularly gives tours of the command center to both media and companies.
Later in the week, I will travel to the FAA Academy in Oklahoma to meet with air traffic controller instructors and students to learn more about their education and how we can ensure that only the very best guide our aircrafts.
My door at @USDOT is open to any and all patriotic developers or companies who want to help our country in this incredible, game-changing mission. I hope to hear from any company committed to ushering in America’s golden age of travel!
Axios reports:
SpaceX’s involvement with the FAA is complicated and mired with potential conflicts of interest. The federal agency has investigated and fined the aerospace company multiple times, including for alleged safety violations.
The company has billions in government contracts, primarily with NASA and the Pentagon. Musk is classified as a special government employee due to his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
It is unclear what, if any, role Musk has in SpaceX advising the FAA on safety improvements, but he has previously railed against FAA regulations.
Duffy just had to get in an attack on Hillary.
