      Then that is why he was picked in the first place. This entire falling out is orchestrated. It did seem odd that there was only one “not completely awful” appointment in the administration, well now you know why. It’s all theater.

      The degree with which this administration falls flat on its face is really spectacular.

      Never any forward progress with this administration. Its always reactive and devoid of any substance. Not one thing has benefited our space programs, or the average American for that matter.

      At the end of the day, Musk really is entirely motivated by getting humanity to Mars before an extinction event, as absurd as that sounds. Isaacman was an ally in that vision.

      I was about to question if he can do that but with all this chaos, I forgot that NASA is a government organization.
