SpaceX to Overhaul US Air Traffic Control Amidst Controversy

Elon Musk's SpaceX is assisting in the overhaul of the US air traffic control system following a deadly air disaster and the firing of hundreds of air traffic controllers. This move has raised concerns about conflicts of interest, given SpaceX's role as a major government contractor and Musk's position in the Department of Government Efficiency. While the Secretary of Transportation claims the air traffic control center regularly receives visitors, the decision faces criticism, particularly given existing staff shortages and safety concerns within the air traffic control system.
