30. Is someone testing their ability to shut down our air traffic?

Is it a foreign or domestic enemy?
Is Musk looking for a chance to get a several hundred billion dollar contract to rebuild what he just broke, or has a government or terrorist group gotten into the air traffic control system?
I'm putting my money on Musk and the DOGE boys. All this is happening right after they attacked our Federal Agencies, and looted the systems.
The systems definitely need to be overhauled, but I wouldn't trust Musk to do a proper job.
