It is really easy to blame Trump and Musk for this, but the reality is this is a disaster decades in the making. I honestly believe it would have happened under Harris too.

The truth is, we have been operating within a system that is being held together by scotch tape and bubble gum. NATCA warned the FAA that something like this would happen if they moved this sector out of its original location. This move happened about a year ago and there were problems right from the beginning.
