Duffy had announced that Elon Musk’s team would help upgrade the aviation systems following deadly plane crashes during his tenure.
Clinton criticized the plan, claiming that DOGE personnel lacked the necessary experience to improve aviation safety. Duffy fired back, blaming “experienced Washington bureaucrats” for infrastructure issues, and accused the Clintons of “grifting” through USAID.
He also stressed the importance of using innovative technology to fix transportation systems, emphasizing that the department would move forward without Clinton’s involvement.
