  • Musk had Trump fire the FAA leader as soon as he got into office, because the FAA leader had investigated and fined one of Musk's companies, Starlink.

The article from Slate discusses a hypothetical scenario where Elon Musk, after acquiring the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and firing most of its staff, leads to a significant plane crash in Washington, D.C. due to deregulation and lack of oversight. The narrative explores the consequences of Musk's management style, characterized by rapid changes and cost-cutting measures, applied to the aviation sector. It highlights the potential dangers of privatizing and drastically reducing the regulatory body responsible for air traffic control and aviation safety.
