The White House confirms it’s withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman, who worked alongside Elon Musk at SpaceX, to be NASA administrator.

“It’s essential that the next leader of NASA is in complete alignment with President Trump’s America First agenda,” says an administration spokesperson.

@w7voa Any idea why Isaacman irritated Trump?

“President Trump intends to withdraw his nomination of Jared Isaacman, a close associate of Elon Musk’s, to lead NASA, the White House said. Trump has told associates he decided to pull back the nomination after learning that Isaacman, a billionaire entrepreneur, had donated to Democrats, three people with knowledge of his deliberations said.” Aw. If only he’d been a convicted felon! https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05/31/us/trump-news?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

@w7voa Trump zig zags so much, frankly, can anyone EVER be in full alignment with him? I guess if there were made of Jell-O maybe. (I sincerely apologize to jell-o for that comparison)…
@w7voa 🤦‍♀️Probably a choice between incompetence and antiscience dipshittery.
@w7voa
Trump is starting to retaliate against Musk for upstaging him.
