Musk Really Was Trying to Fire Air Traffic Controllers, Transportation Secretary Reveals (Daily Beast)

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy accused Elon Musk’s DOGE team of trying to fire air traffic controllers at the Federal Aviation Administration, according to a report.

Duffy made the claim at a tense Cabinet meeting on Thursday that saw tensions flare between Musk and several members of Donald Trump’s administration, The New York Times reported.

After Musk confronted Duffy over how the FAA was being run, Duffy fired back that baby-faced staffers at DOGE had tried to fire air traffic controllers, but he had intervened.
