In addition, 卐LON is trying to get a $2.4 billion FAA contract for aircraft control system communications upgrade assigned to SpaceX.
That contract was put up for competitive bidding (as almost all gov't contracts are) and won by Verizon back in 2023. But now, in a YUGE conflict of interest, Musk wants the contract re-assigned to his company.
Another round of competitive bidding?? NAAAHH!! Oligarchs don't need no competitive bidding!!!
BTW, this is the same 卐LON who recently fired several hundred FAA workers and is now offering signing bonuses to hire back retired FAA workers!!
Ya can't make this sheet up!!!
