Following a near-collision in Washington D.C., Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) propose upgrading the nation's air traffic control system. Musk announced plans for rapid safety upgrades with the support of President Trump. This comes amidst a severe shortage of air traffic controllers and a recent controversy over federal buyout offers, which some feared would further deplete the ranks. While some, like Senator Ted Cruz, support Musk's initiative, Congressman Lloyd Doggett expresses concerns about the timeline and emphasizes the need for immediate solutions to the staffing crisis.

There is currently a severe shortage of air traffic controllers around the country. Before a judge halted the federal buyout offers earlier today – they were also being offered buyouts, which some feared would thin the ranks even more. “I would just say generally it’s very difficult because we have laws that have been passed by Congress and we have Elon Musk and Trump arbitrarily going in and saying they won’t comply with that law and it's taking restraining orders to get them to comply with the law,” he said.
