FAA employees threatened with termination if they 'impede' SpaceX takeover: report [View all]

Source: Raw Story, Bloomberg

Bloomberg is reporting that members of the Federal Aviation Administration have been threatened with termination if they act to "impede" a takeover by SpaceX, the private space exploration firm owned by billionaire Elon Musk.

According to Bloomberg's sources, SpaceX engineer Ted Malaska last month came to the FAA's headquarters in Washington D.C. and gave employees what he described as a directive from Musk himself to "immediately start work on a program to deploy thousands of the company’s Starlink satellite terminals to support the national airspace system."

Furthermore they were given 18 months to complete this task and were told that they would be reported directly to Musk should they impede progress on it. Musk is not an elected official nor a Senate-confirmed cabinet official, and it's not clear what authority he has to fire federal employees.

Jesus- they show up one day, and tell the FAA that they are taking over, and replacing Contracted Verizon with STARLINK stuff.

Can you say illegal? I can.
