Starlink poised to take over $2.4 billion contract to overhaul air traffic control communication

SpaceX's Starlink is positioned to take over a $2.4 billion FAA contract from Verizon for overhauling air traffic control communications. A SpaceX-led team within the FAA is recommending the contract transfer, raising concerns about favoritism and conflicts of interest given Elon Musk's involvement in government efficiency initiatives. Musk claims Verizon's system is failing and offers Starlink terminals at no cost to taxpayers.
