The Billionaire as Savior
Elon Musk, the man who shoots rockets into space and sells battery-powered cars, has discovered a new mission: he wants to pay TSA employees' salaries. While the US government runs out of funds, the Tesla CEO steps in - at least verbally.
An Offer with Strings Attached
Experts wonder whether Musk's offer is meant seriously or just another attempt to stay in the headlines. After all, the multi-billionaire has often caused a stir with surprising announcements. Whether he is actually willing to spend millions remains to be seen.
The TSA employees themselves react with mixed feelings. On the one hand, a salary guarantee through Musk would be a relief, on the other hand the offer raises questions: What happens if Musk changes his mind? And who monitors the expenses?
