Elon is good buddies with a former Nasa director -- that director gave SpaceX their big break and backing when they were basically insolvent... I imagine conversations were had.
- skissane 2y ago> Elon is good buddies with a former Nasa director Who specifically are you talking about here? > I imagine conversations were had. It wouldn’t surprise me if Jared Isaacman (Trump’s nominee for next NASA administrator, an obvious Musk pick) convinced Musk to call for a back-off. I imagine Isaacman would argue that if there are going to be any personnel cuts, that he get to decide who and how many, rather than inheriting the decision already made for him. Edit: Now I actually read the article, it contains the same speculation about Isaacman. Obvious enough to be arrived at independently
