URGENT: Our Skies Are Unsafe — Congress Must Act Now I’m writing to demand immediate congressional action to address the dangerous collapse of our national air traffic control system—brought on by Elon Musk’s corrupt influence and the Trump administration’s reckless, politically motivated purges of the FAA. Here’s the crisis: • Over 1,000 ATC equipment failures per week • Radar and communication blackouts at major airports like Newark • Fired FAA professionals replaced by SpaceX staff, with zero transparency • Musk pushing Starlink to replace certified FAA systems, while profiting from contracts he helped create • Air traffic controllers stretched beyond limits, quitting under trauma This is criminal negligence. It’s a hostile takeover of federal safety infrastructure by a private billionaire and a regime that has gutted public protections for personal gain. Lives are at stake. I demand you: 1. Launch an emergency investigation into Musk’s role in FAA operations and DOGE interference 2. Reinstate fired FAA safety personnel immediately 3. Block all privatization of air traffic systems tied to SpaceX or Starlink 4. Require public disclosure of all contracts, personnel shifts, and safety audits related to this scheme 5. Hold hearings on air travel safety to restore public trust and stop the bleeding This is not deregulation—it is dereliction of duty, and if you remain silent, you are complicit. Ground the corruption. Restore the FAA. Protect American lives.
