WASHINGTON - Billionaire presidential adviser Elon Musk on Thursday falsely accused Verizon, a rival contractor of his SpaceX Starlink system, of putting U.S. air safety at risk through a communications system that is actually operated by L3Harris.

The FAA is reportedly considering canceling a $2.4 billion Verizon contract for air traffic control upgrades because Musk's team wants SpaceX's Starlink business to handle it.

Trump was wounded in the ear after a gunman fired into the crowd attending his campaign rally in the key battleground state on July 13. The shooting killed one attendee. Musk endorsed the video in a post on his platform, X, formerly Twitter, and attached a clip of the attack.

The resolution seeks to allocate hundreds of billions of dollars in additional spending on defense, border security and energy.

As the world’s richest person, Elon Musk isn’t short of opportunity. From TikTok to Nissan, his name comes up time and again during potential deals across Asia, no matter how outlandish.
