SpaceX, which holds billions of dollars in government contracts, was penalized by the FAA for ignoring regulations. In response, Musk pushed for the resignation of the agency's chairman. Why is this important? The chairman stepped down on January 20 and was not replaced by an acting chairman until after a major crash. This is not only a blatant conflict of interest but also a situation where Musk's actions may have contributed to the loss of American lives. Forcing people out of key positions isn't a game-it can have serious, unseen consequences. The FAA is already severely understaffed.
