Summary
FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker resigned on Jan. 20, leaving the agency leaderless amid a major aviation crisis.
His departure followed months of clashes with Elon Musk, who criticized the FAA for imposing $600,000 in fines on SpaceX and called for Whitaker’s resignation.
Musk accused the FAA of obstructing space exploration.
Whitaker’s exit comes as the FAA faces air traffic controller shortages and a major runway collision investigation.
Ahh, I knew it wouldn’t be long before we found out that retarded decisions made by the Trump administration were either directly or indirectly responsible for that mid air collision in DC…
Trump’s decisions are bad and wrong, but let’s leave ableist slurs out of it.
