Oh, wow, the SpaceX team inside the FAA actually pushed to have the contract, already awarded to Verizon, canceled and given instead to Starlink.
No attempt whatever there to avoid the obvious conflict of interest.
- Hikikomori 2y agoGoing forward I think we can assume that conflict of interest doesn't exist anymore. No DEI but they'll replace it with nepotism and full on corruption.
- slantedview 2y agoConflict of interest isn’t a strong enough description. This is corruption.
- matwood 2y agoThe genius move by Trump is doing full on corruption out in the open leaves people confused. Full corruption, foreign brides/influence, blatant political favors are the norm now. I remember when the MAGAs complained about Hilary's emails and Hunter on the board of some company. Now we have a full on corruption out in the open and no one gives a shit.
