Musk's Influence Spurs Safety and Legal Concerns

Recent aviation disasters in the U.S., including a deadly collision involving an American Eagle flight, have sparked safety concerns and raised questions about infrastructure and regulatory oversight. Senator Maria Cantwell has expressed worries about Elon Musk's influence over FAA safety processes, citing potential conflicts of interest. Concurrently, Musk's role within the U.S. government, particularly through the Department of Government Efficiency, has led to constitutional concerns. Representative Bobby Scott and other Democrats have urged investigations into Musk's access to sensitive data and his influence over federal departments. Legislative attempts to subpoena Musk over alleged abuses of power and dismantling of agencies were blocked, leading to heated debates in Congress. These events highlight growing tensions over Musk's expanding influence in both private and public sectors.
