FAA Staff ORDERED To Find Funding For Elon Musk’s Starlink

Elon Musk is desperate to take over the multi-billion dollar contract between the FAA and Verizon and replace it with his Starlink service, and the FAA appears ready to go along with his very obvious power grab. Officials at the FAA have now ordered staff to find enough money to cancel the contract with Verizon and hand it over to Musk’s company, even though Musk is supposed to be “saving” money for the government. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Elon Musk's role with the federal government, uh, whether or not he's the head of Doge or not, because there seems to be a hell of a lot of confusion about that, even within the White House itself. But his role, we were told was that he was gonna come in and cut all this government spending, white, right? The waste, the bloat, the fraud, the corruption, all of it. And we were gonna get those costs of the government down, you know, so that we don't have to keep borrowing money from other countries, right? Well, turns out, as I'm sure everybody has figured out by now, that was a total lie over the weekend. The FAA was ordered, ordered to start looking around their budget to find tens of millions of dollars so that they could cancel their contract with Verizon for $2.8 billion to provide internet services and satellite services for the FAA and instead give that contract. Contract, excuse me, over to Elon Musk's starlink. Now, we've known for some time about a week or so that Elon Musk has basically tried to force the FAA to ditch Verizon and move over to his company starlink, so that he gets his hands on that. It's actually $2.4 billion contract. So I said 2.8 earlier, it's 2.4, but that's, that's a lot of billions of dollars for the world's richest man who has unfettered access and influence over the federal government, and now including the FAA. So they have been ordered to go and find the money so that they can then give that money to Elon Musk, the man who is supposed to be in charge of the government, not spending more money, money. So now suddenly, all of these cuts at the FAA, right? We're just firing all these workers. We're doing away with some of these other contracts. We're saving a lot of money, but we're not gonna end up saving anything now, are we? Because all that savings is being accumulated so that we can then turn it over to the man doing all the firings. That is what is happening here. Elon Musk, I know a OC over the weekend called him a government leach. I do like that, but I'm gonna go further. He is a government locust right now. He is moving from department to department, gobbling up all the resources for himself, and then flying off to the next one to do the same thing, leaving that department incomplete shambles. We already know that the firing of the inspectors generals, five of them, were actively investigating Elon Musk's companies. This is what Locusts do, and that is what Elon Musk is. He's not saving us any money. He's making savings on paper, which he's really not even doing that yet, but he's pretending to make savings to justify directing these billions of dollars in contracts to his own company. And if that isn't corruption, then I don't know what is.
