The reported threat from SpaceX engineer Ted Malaska to fire FAA employees who "impede" SpaceX's work is deeply concerning. No government workers should face intimidation or retaliation for upholding safety standards and proper procedures. The potential conflict of interest arising from Elon Musk's companies seeking lucrative federal contracts while he is involved in dismantling federal agencies raises serious ethical questions. Government oversight and transparency must be maintained to ensure fair contracting processes and protect the public interest. I urge a full investigation into these matters to safeguard the integrity of the FAA's critical aviation safety role against undue influence or coercion.
