I'm sure this will be a massive scandal and the Senate will do a thorough investigation and hold responsible parties accountable.

Trump is blaming DEI
Pretty cool that all the problems in the world are going to be blamed on minorities being respected. Very good sign for the future as Trump shock doctrines the USA.

musk will say the two aircraft landed significantly earlier than they had planned, making it a win for efficiency.

I think Whiskey Pete and the DoD are going to catch the most flak here. The latest reports I've seen say that "training mission" was just getting flight hours to stay qualified. While I haven't yet seen whether or not they were using night-vision goggles which would be the
, choosing to do such a routine anytime anywhere flight at night in the landing path of one of the busiest airports in the country is remarkably stupid. Maybe the most stupid military-civilian incident since the USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air 655 back in 1988.
- Pete said they had night vision
  
  Hot damn. I've seen videos of coast guard rescues using them and even a few light sources blow out their vision. They were above an illuminated airport with multiple planes around them and the light from stars on a clear night.

Fucking owns that we're entrusting the most sensitive aspects of society to your olf G*mer cousin who dropped out of business school to work at his dad's jetski dealership and thinks the empire in star wars are the good guys.
- I unno man. I feel like if they were an empire supporter they would have continued with their business career. I mean the topic at hand is 2 corrupt "businessmen".

Couldn't this also be bad for all those rich people with private jets? Like don't they need to rely on ATC's as well so they don't collide with another aircraft?
- They can afford all the fancy in air radar shit, they don't need it. Probably what they are banking on.
  
  Won't save them from a military aircraft flying around without a transponder on and no TCAS

JDPON Elon???

We're gonna start calling him Donald Truss
