Elon Musk’s DOGE work, contracts in conflict

Published 1:30 am Thursday, April 3, 2025

In February Elon Musk’s company, Space-X, was awarded a contract with a potntial value of about $500 billion; by NASA, the very agency he is now “investigating.” One might then have asked if he risks biting the hand that feeds him, but it’s far more possible that he is actually now telling the hand what and how much to feed him.

This month, FAA is considering canceling Verizon’s $2.4 billion contract for air traffic control modernization because it’s going “too slow,” and retain Space-X to do the update. Seems like Musk is finding even more hands to feed him.

Now we know what DOGE actually stands for: Deportment Of Greed for Elon.
