Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently clashed with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over his decision to partner with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to modernize the nation’s aviation systems following several fatal plane crashes.

Clinton criticized Duffy’s choice, questioning DOGE’s ability to handle such a crucial project due to its lack of aviation experience. She argued that involving a private entity like DOGE in improving aviation systems posed significant risks and reflected poorly on the administration’s priorities.

Duffy strongly defended his decision, pointing to the failures of traditional government agencies in addressing the challenges of national infrastructure, including aviation safety. He emphasized that DOGE’s innovative technology and forward-thinking approach were essential for creating safer, more efficient transportation systems. Duffy also accused the Clintons of exploiting USAID for personal gain, a claim recently highlighted by Musk’s investigative team, which added further fuel to the fire.

Clinton dismissed Duffy’s allegations as politically motivated and defended her record on transportation projects during her tenure as Secretary of State. She urged the public to be cautious of privatization in government projects and called for greater oversight.

The debate continues, with Duffy’s bold approach sparking divided opinions. Some support the innovation DOGE could bring, while others share Clinton’s concerns over privatization in critical infrastructure. The outcome of this partnership could set a precedent for future collaborations between government and private entities in transportation.
