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.
WASHINGTON - 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.
At the same time, Musk has been trying to obtain a $2 billion contract now held by Verizon to run the FAA’s communications system for all U.S. air traffic.
