Starlink Secret Payout — Ford Cancels Deal, Refuses to Disclose Cost to Taxpayers

He then negotiated a confidential settlement to pay Elon Musk an undisclosed sum — and refuses to tell Ontario taxpayers how much public money they're handing over to the world's richest person, citing a confidentiality clause that he could have negotiated away.
