  Musk has long faced concerns about his Trump administration work posing a conflict of interest with his private companies.

Elon Musk has been hit with a formal conflict of interest complaint regarding a deal between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and SpaceX's Starlink. The complaint, filed by the nonprofit group 'Protect the Public's Trust', alleges that the FAA's decision to contract Starlink for satellite-based internet services for its aircraft could be influenced by Musk's multiple business interests, particularly his involvement with Tesla, which has significant dealings with the Department of Transportation. The complaint points out that the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation, which regulates SpaceX, might not be impartial in its oversight due to these overlapping interests. This situation raises concerns about potential favoritism and the integrity of regulatory processes, especially since the contract was awarded without competitive bidding. The issue underscores broader questions about how government agencies manage conflicts of interest when dealing with influential business figures like Musk.
