A spokesperson for the Department of Transportation reportedly told Reuters that SpaceX engineers tapped as part of Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team at the FAA are serving as special government employees and will be kept separate from the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation – which handles regulations for the company – to avoid any conflicts of interest.
Acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau said in a Wednesday email to employees that the DOGE team would be visiting more FAA facilities – including FAA headquarters – after Monday stops at the Air Traffic Control Command Center and Potomac TRACON in Warrenton, Virginia, Reuters reported.
