Engineers who work for [Elon Musk’s](https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-government-young-engineers/) SpaceX have been brought on as senior advisers to the acting administrator of the [Federal Aviation Administration](https://www.wired.com/story/washington-dc-plane-crash-everything-we-know-so-far-black-hawk-faa-potomac-american-airlines-psa/) (FAA), sources tell WIRED.
On Sunday, Sean Duffy, secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOT), which oversees the FAA, [announced](https://x.com/SecDuffy/status/1891310401800872114) in a post on X that SpaceX engineers would be visiting the Air Traffic Control System Command Center in Virginia to take what he positioned as a tour. “The safety of air travel is a non-partisan matter,” Musk [replied](https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1891312807896907807). “SpaceX engineers will help make air travel safer.”
By the time these posts were made, though, according to sources who were granted anonymity because they fear retaliation, SpaceX engineers were already being onboarded at the agency under Schedule A, a [special authority](https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/disability-employment/hiring/) that allows government managers to “hire persons with disabilities without requiring them to compete for the job,” [according](https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/disability-employment/hiring/) to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

The way everything is going, all the puzzles going together are very shady.
I’m sure these minions bring a wealth of aviation knowledge and expertise with them. NOT!

>In fact, some were already being onboarded at the agency under a policy designed to increase “employment opportunities for people with disabilities.”
To be completely fair, a willingness to continue working for or being associated with Elon Musk *is* a sort of mental disability.
Even if they are privatizing faa, shouldn’t there be bids for the government contract?
Weird that they’re against DEIA but are probably incorrectly using Schedule A to bring in unknown individuals without background checks or clearances
It’s honestly amazing how corrupt the government is.
Are they charging more than the people that were fired?
There’s objectively a ton of talent at SpaceX, and while this is stupid and possibly illegal, I hope that their smarter and cooler heads will make a positive contribution in spite of our idiot leaders
Laughing at Sean Dumpty bringing up Hillary. Someone out of politics is his boogeyperson. So out of touch.
I don’t want guys that caught a falling rocket with chopstick arms anywhere near my government agencies
I mean, before this it was basically Boeing running the FAA. The FAA is so far behind on several safety mandates EASA implemented years ago. Various ELT standards have been completed in Europe for a few years now and still waiting to go live in the USA because Boeing isn’t ready yet.
This is an exceedingly common government practice across every major industry. It happens at both the State and Federal government levels, all the time.
