Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy clashed with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton online
after she criticized his decision to involve Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency
(DOGE) in upgrading aviation systems following deadly plane crashes,
Clinton claimed DOGE staff lacked relevant experience, mocking their youth and blaming Duffy for
deteriorating safety. Duffy fired back, blaming “experienced Washington bureaucrats” for infrastructure
failures and accusing the Clintons of “grifting” via USAID—claims uncovered by Musk’s team.Duffy
defended using innovative technology to improve transportation, vowing to restore aviation
safety and hold companies like Boeing and Tesla accountable.
