The White House is pulling the nomination of Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator, saying that the next agency chief should be "in complete alignment" with President Trump's agenda.

President Trump on Saturday said that he planned to withdraw his nomination of Jared Isaacman, a billionaire entrepreneur and close associate of Elon Musk’s, to be the next NASA administrator, days before Mr. Isaacman’s expected confirmation to the role by the Senate.

NASA and Pentagon officials moved swiftly this past week to urge competitors to Elon Musk’s SpaceX to more quickly develop alternative rockets and spacecraft after President Donald Trump threatened to cancel Space X’s contracts and Musk’s defiant response.

Elon Musk alleged President Donald Trump's name is listed in classified files related to the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he has little appetite for reconciling with Elon Musk any time soon, signaling he’s eager to move on to other topics following their extraordinary public blow-up.
