After the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) opted to use SpaceX's Starlink internet system in order to rehabilitate air traffic control and better manage US air space, SpaceX founder Elon Musk stated that this development will not come at a cost to taxpayers.
"To be clear here, the Verizon communication system to air traffic control is breaking down very rapidly. The FAA assessment is single digit months to catastrophic failure, putting air traveler safety at serious risk," Musk wrote in a post to X.
