With every passing day, the line between the government and Elon Musk's business empire gets blurrier because he's the one erasing it.
Elon Musk's Starlink is in the process of taking over a $2.4 billion contract from the FAA.
The FAA has a responsibility to modernize and protect public safety, but that process can't be hijacked simple because Musk wants another taxpayer-funded payday.
