xCruzo Brief
Elon Musk has pushed back against Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian after Bastian reportedly said Delta rejected Starlink to avoid partnering with Musk personally. Speaking at a company event, Bastian said, “We do not want to be with Elon Musk. Trust me.” Musk responded on X to aviation blogger Gary Leff’s post, writing that Bastian “will lose his job over this.” The exchange follows Delta’s March decision to choose Amazon’s Leo over Starlink, a plan Delta says will begin installing on an initial 500 aircraft in 2028 at the earliest, while Starlink is already live across hundreds of rival planes. Musk has also warned Delta could lose customers to carriers already using Starlink.
