From another continent, genuinely curious about Trump voters on this: - Does anyone here at HN stand for this action? - If so, do you think there's a conflict of interest? How do stand on this possible conflict?

Do you think there is anything wrong?
So how many planes will they get to crash while they figure things out?
" Duffy said the team from SpaceX went to Virginia 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.”" I don't understand how anyone can be reasonably against this? They are not going to just overhaul everything overnight, they are going to upgrade the system based on ATC f…
Let's assume that the person isn't so full of it that the sclera of their eyes aren't dark brown.
What guarantees that Musk's team is the best to do this on-time, on-budget, and on-spec?
What specific expertise does SpaceX have in the air traffic control realm? What was the bidding process like? Do other regions / nations have more advanced ATC than we do, and what can we learn from them? Is there a problem statement beyond "it has some old bits"? What are the specific goals? Just feels like corruption, tbh.

SpaceX bid and won projects. Did they win via corruption as well?
Reread everything and cross out through names and see if you feel the sams.

That is astounding naive take. Musk has a pattern of behavior and this fits it. This is pure corruption.

The govt can be paying those folks directly or Musk himself can be paying them like he did for some DOGE team members.

The system is largely developed by Lockheed, Raytheon and Thales (all defense contractors). If there's a legal issue with SpaceX doing this I'm sure you'll hear about it.
