Elon Musk ’s gang of DOGE henchmen has been take an ax to the federal government this hebdomad , hacking away at agencies likeOPM , USAID , and theU.S. Treasury . But now it looks like it ’s the FAA ’s bit . And it may give you intermission if you have any plans to bribe airline tickets in the dear future tense .
“ Big News – verbalise to the DOGE squad . They are going to plug in to help upgrade our air power organisation , ” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy tweetedWednesday .
Elon Musk confirmed he was going to unleash his little dipshits on FAA , complicate even further than Duffy had , while using a combination of words that do n’t typically go together .

“ With the support of President@realDonaldTrump , the @DOGE teamwill take aim to make rapid safety rise to the air traffic control organisation , ” Musk tweeted . “ Just a few days ago , the FAA ’s principal aircraft refuge telling system failed for several hr ! ”
Did you becharm that combining of dustup , “ speedy safety upgrade . ” It ’s not something you typically see in succession , since safety machine typically involves slow and methodical process to follow through properly . But they do things a little otherwise at DOGE . Which is to say , they do things poorly and without much thought for the upshot .
For some intellect , Trump nemesis and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got into the disputation over DOGE ’s involvement at FAA , writing , “ They have no relevant experience . Most of them are n’t sure-enough enough to rent a cable car . And you ’re going to rent them mess with airway safe that ’s already deteriorated on your watch ? ”
Clinton is , of course of study , name to the hit between an American Airlines aeroplane colliding with a helicopter in Washington D.C. last hebdomad , obliterate 67 people . As well as the diminished plane crash near Philadelphia thatkilled 7and damaged home .
But Duffy , a valet de chambre with no relevant experience in transportation beyond appear on a realness TV show called Road Rules Challenge , was n’t going to take this lying down . Duffyrespondedto Clinton ’s tweet with “ Madam Secretary , with all due regard , ‘ experienced ’ Washington bureaucrats are the reason our nation ’s infrastructure is crumbling . You need to seat this one out . ”
At least he write , with all due esteem , correct ? It ’s better than what Trump would ’ve written , we suppose . But it ’s still kind of odd , when you debate that Duffy only got his job as Secretary of Transportation because he ’s loyal to Trump and will do anything he says .
What do Musk and his gang of DOGE worker have planned for FAA ? That part is n’t clear yet . But Musk has been shoot through the political science in a way that expert discourage is both distinctly illegal and will be damaging for generations to amount . Not only is Musk deep inside the U.S. Treasury ’s defrayal system , but he ’s attempt to press out as many Union proletarian as possible why unilaterally declaring entire agency will no longer survive .
“ So many of these thing are so wildly illegal that I think they ’re playing a quantity secret plan and assuming the system ca n’t react to all this illegality at once , ” David Super , a police professor at Georgetown Law School , tell theWashington Postthis week .
Efforts to harbor Musk accountable to the practice of law have so far been in vain . The U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted on Wednesday to subpoena Musk , but that failed19 - 20 . And while the Democrats have finally start to spill tough , they have n’t made some of the most drastic motion at their disposal , such as objecting to unanimous consent , a manoeuvre that would only take one senator to accomplish and would grind the byplay of the Senate to a hitch .
Democrats have n’t used these aggressive tactics yet , but here ’s hoping they root for their heads out of their prat shortly . The country is being chopped to pieces by a billionaire oligarch and there ’s not going to be much unexpended if they do n’t put a stop to it soon .
