New Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

[NotJoeBiden]

You went from DOGE having zero government influence to DOGE being in charge of every aircraft in the sky.

That was before Elon overstepped his stated role and pushed the FAA chief to resign to null a SpaceX fine, overtook OPA to push civil servants out of office (including air traffic controllers and other officials that oversee safety), and pushed for Trump to cut regulations to better position SpaceX.

Cuts like these will end up costing the government more in the longterm for disaster relief, lawsuits, and a whole flurry of issues. A major aircraft crash can cost the government a billion dollars depending on damage, liability, etc. I suspect these two incidents, which were mass causality events, will burden the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars at least, and we are only two weeks in to this new administration.

This is not fiscal responsibility.
