> So...why isn't Trump talking to Elon Musk yet? Because what NASA does is not a decision where Trump has much say. Trump nominally appoints NASA top leadership and sets the agenda, but the budget is entirely decided by the Congress. It doesn't matter what Trump would want NASA to do if the only things that get funded are the SLS contracts.
