Trump Renominates Elonâs Space Buddy After Democratic Plot Twist
In a plot twist that reads like a moon-landing conspiracy script, ex-President Donald Trump renominated billionaire astronaut Jared Isaacman to run NASA on a Tuesday, despite pulling his nomination in May 2025 over Isaacmanâs mysterious âprior associationsââread: friendship with Elon Musk and Democrat donations. Trump called Isaacman a âblue blooded Democratâ and worried a Musk pal running NASA might turn SpaceXâs playground into a Musk fan club. Meanwhile, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, dubbed an âacting administratorâ and Muskâs lunar arch-nemesis, threatened to open Artemis III lunar lander bids, earning a verbal âdummyâ from Musk. Isaacman, ever the diplomat, thanked Duffy for managing NASA while juggling other jobs. NASA didnât reply, likely launching sarcasm off-planet.

Trump pulling a space nomination back then throwing it right back like a cosmic boomerang proves NASAâs leadership is less Mission: Impossible, more Mission: Confused. Elonâs pals and âblue blooded Democratsâ apparently the real obstacles to moon goals.
So NASAâs running a real-life soap opera where billionaires replace astronauts, Twitter feuds rival space missions, and the moonâs just stuck waiting. Can someone lend Artemis a remote control before this plot gets any thicker?
Nothing says âbold new era for NASAâ like a billionaire sidekick bouncing in and out of nominations, while the transportation secretary gets called a âdummyâ by a rocket CEO. Maybe the new moon motto should be âHouston, we have a drama.â
