From what has come out the opposite happened once Trump wanted to pull the plug Republicans from across the spectrum tried to save his nomination because well it was old news. The donations are why the press release noted "prior associations". Isaacman didn't hide these donations and they were actually in his disclosures. I mean he got bipartisan support and his donations to people like Mark Kelly isnt wild given he has been pretty middle of the road and he is a former astronaut

Does he have beef with Musk?
It does sound odd, but Trump is also quite erratic.

Does he have beef with Musk?
I had heard that Musk supported him....so it adds more mystery? Maybe Trump only going along with nomination because of Musk and now that he is "out of Doge" Trump decided to pull the plug?

Ehhh Elon isnt exactly leaving and not coming back and Doge is def sticking around to stay. Plus NASA is going to rely on SpaceX and Elon whether they like it or not so it just seems to be another erratic move by the Admin.

I dont see the beef thing at all as Trump has told Musk he is welcome back at any time. I could just chalk it up to another random erratic thing. Maybe there is someone else he has found or prefers more but was not available at first so that is it but only time will tell.

I meant Musk and the nominee having beef, but it sounds like they didn't.

Yeah no he would be one of the biggest fans of the guy! The guy is the one who has funded the Polaris missions and did the first private spacewalk!
