Trump's new transportation secretary has a lot to explain...

 

ELON MUSK FORCED MICHAEL WHITAKER TO RESIGN AFTER WHITAKER FINED 

MUSK & GROUNDED SPACE X FOR SAFETY VIOLATIONS 


FAA was left rudderless after former chief quit post 10 days before DC plane, helicopter crash

excerpt:

Elon Musk, a close Trump advisor who also heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had called for Whitaker’s ouster after the erstwhile FAA chief proposed more than $600,000 in fines for SpaceX — Musk’s aerospace firm.

The proposal to impose $633,009 in civil penalties came in September after SpaceX allegedly conducted two rocket launches in 2023 with unapproved changes in violation of its license requirements. 

Whitaker’s tenure at FAA was marked in large part by persistent safety and quality issues at Boeing, but he also worked to alleviate the agency’s longstanding struggles with the staffing of air traffic controllers.
