Gator1984: Musk is offering his services to help for FREE! His time is pretty valuable, maybe the most valuable of any of us in the whole USA.
What now?
Consider this: Musk pushed the White House to fire hundreds of FAA employees — at the same time taking loyalists from SpaceX and installing them in the FAA — and wrangled away a $2.4 billion multi-year contract to replace antiquated, legacy systems from Verizon to award to his own company, Starlink. The original contract with Verizon dates back to 2023. Unwinding that contract will be complicated and expensive... and likely end up in court.
Not a bad return on his valuable “FREE” time, eh?
Perhaps you could become better informed of other Musk self-dealing, such as the $400 million US government contract for “armored Tesla” vehicles.
And here's just one of many articles detailing how his businesses have collected more than $38 billion in government funds — including millions loaned to Tesla when it was struggling: https://fortune.com/2025/02/26...
That guy's “FREE” time is pretty darn expensive.
And unethical.
And in some cases, perhaps illegal.
