Elon Musk's DOGE team is visiting the FAA's Air Traffic Control command center to enhance air travel safety and efficiency. Despite the reforms, the Trump administration's downsizing approach led to the dismissal of numerous FAA employees, raising concerns about increased workloads among the remaining staff. Secretary Sean Duffy emphasized the goal of modernizing air traffic systems, while Musk highlighted the importance of safety in aviation, despite calls for barring him from FAA involvement due to potential conflicts of interest. This visit comes amid broader discussions about the effectiveness and stability of U.S. air traffic control.
