    If Elon Musk was ALSO the President this would be a HUGE conflict of Interest! But Fox News told me this is OK so as a Free Thinking Republican I think this is FINE!

    On Monday, prominent Democrats including the Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren demanded an investigation of possible criminal corruption involving Starlink, citing “the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision to cancel a $2.4bn contract with Verizon to upgrade air traffic control communications, and to pay … Musk’s Starlink to help manage US airspace”.

    The SpaceX and Tesla billionaire denies conflicts of interest. Trump has said if conflicts are found, they will be addressed.

    That’s like the fox promising to make sure the henhouse is safe.

    I don’t know how there could not be a conflict of interest.

    How many government contracts are we going to give him to prop up his falling stocks? And Congress is completely useless because we have had bystanders leading the Dems that have led to Americans not wanting to waste votes on them? That even when they have leverage or the majority they don’t push as hard as possible?

    If the government shutting down allows the President to do literally anything (since that’s what good ol’ Chuck has used as an excuse) why haven’t we seen this happen before? Why have Dems always held back instead of attacking constantly?

    This is why they came out with the new $10/month for 10 gb plan. They know the White House isn’t actually going to use it.
