DOGE to make ‘rapid safety upgrades’ in air traffic control system.

Elon Musk has pledged to deploy his “DOGE” cost-cutting squad inside the innards of America’s air traffic control system, promising Wednesday to “make rapid safety upgrades” to the complex web of software, hardware, facilities and people that keep planes from crashing into each other.

“With the support of President @realDonaldTrump, the @DOGE team will aim to make rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system,” Musk posted to his social media platform X. Musk’s comment came shortly after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted that he’d spoken to DOGE and that the squad plans to “plug in” to the air traffic control system to help make unspecified upgrades to unknown systems.

The rapid-fire set of remarks, following on the heels of a speech Duffy gave before a conference of state DOT officials on Wednesday, comes roughly a week after the worst U.S. airline crash in two decades, with investigators still in the early stages of their probe. On Wednesday the last of the crash victims were identified, and salvage of the passenger airplane and the U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter that hit it are ongoing.
