The FAA is reportedly considering ending a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to update its communication technology and instead award it to Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Billionaire presidential adviser Elon Musk on Thursday falsely accused Verizon, a rival contractor of his SpaceX Starlink system, of putting U.S. air safety at risk through a communications system that is actually operated by L3Harris.

The directives came after SpaceX CEO Elon Musk criticized Verizon, which has a contract to upgrade air traffic control communications.

The use of Starlink has been adopted by at least one additional federal agency since President Donald Trump began his second term, and it’s being considered by more.

The Commerce Department has changed its rules in a way that could open the door for Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service, to become part of a federal $42 billion grant program to bring high-speed service to rural and poor areas of the United States.

Despite years of planning to build back better, initiatives to improve public infrastructure still await the light of day.

The Federal Communications Commission has approved SpaceX's Starlink direct-to-cell service with T-Mobile to operate at increased power levels. Despite objections from AT&T and Verizon, the waiver comes with conditions to protect other wireless operations.
