The news broke out that the Federal Aviation Administration had granted a major contract for Starlink earlier this week-and rehabilitating the current role of Elus Musk-which led to a lot of alarm bells to anyone who believes corruption is bad, especially since the government was already a contract with Verizon. As it turned out, this new stars’ contract is actually worth $ 2.4 billion, according to Washington Post reports. While FAA said on Wednesday that “no decisions were taken,” two sources confirmed a plan to cancel the contract with Verizon.
Of course, there was a time when government officials at least tried to avoid conflict of interest, but do not worry. Musk was also developed responsible for self -control of any conflict of interests, and you know that it will not offend people’s confidence in any way. Hypocrisy? He will never do. This is a man you can trust when he says Verizon does not work. It is not as if he took the loyalists from Spacex and installed it in FAA or anything like that. Fortunately, nothing like that at all because that will be bad. Can you imagine the scandal if it is correct, though?

John B. said. Piecero, director of the Ethics Center at the University of Santa Clara, “because of the current Moses’ position in Dog and his proximity to Trump. Washington Post. “Who is looking for the public interest here when you get a person who cuts budgets and employees from the Federal Aviation Administration, suddenly tries to benefit from another government contract?”
However, he is just someone who studies ethics for a living. Now, if PodCaster begins to refer to red flags, we will really have to feel anxious.
Jessica Telipman, Assistant Dean of Government Studies and Procurement Law at George Washington University Law Faculty, indicated that canceling a government contract takes time and can be very expensive. And she said to Washington Post. “It is costly to end. It is very expensive and it is complicated.” She also said that negotiations on a settlement may take a full year, and the agency still has to follow the process placed in the competition and contracting law unless there is a clear issue of security or urgent public interest. “But the question is,” Telepman added, “How is it very soon when you have already dealt with him?”
The date of the contract is Verizon

The original contract with Verizon dates back to 2023, when it was chosen to create what is known as the FAA or Fens network services program, which has been in use since 2002. The contract was required to run and maintain the system for 15 years, and was supposed to link about 4,600 sites. According to what was reported, the payment was set for next month, before the Musk Starlink team decided to obtain the contract instead, one of the sources said Washington Post.
It seems that many senior officials in the Federal Aviation Administration have refused to agree to change, which led to a musk from their heads to obtain their president or transport minister Sean Dove to give him what he wanted. Although it is correct that the FAA technology was slow to update, the full point of the contract with Verizon is to replace the same old technology.
According to Tillipman, failure to follow the appropriate procedure means that there are good lawsuits for the opportunity. Fortunately, we have a completely neutral court, which is clearly finding that there is nothing wrong with Elon Musk, CEO of Spacex, apparently the billions of dollars in another company instead gives it to his own company.
