Following the devastating plane crash near Washington, D.C., a year-old Tweet from Elon Musk resurfaced, demonstrating he was already planning far in advance to blame a potential aviation disaster on DEI.

In the late evening hours of Jan. 29, a U.S. Army helicopter collided with a descending American Airlines passenger plane over the Potomac River en route to the Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. There were no survivors.

Musk's DOGE has been on a tear across the federal government in recent days. On Wednesday, he announced that the FAA was next.
