The White House announced yesterday, Saturday, that US President Donald Trump withdrew his candidacy for billionaire Jarid Ezzkman, Elon Musk’s ally and close to him, to take over the leadership of NASA.
“It is necessary to be the next president of NASA fully compatible with President Trump’s program and the principle of America first,” the White House said in an email, noting that Trump will announce directly about his alternative soon.
This step appears to be an ignorance of the billionaire Elon Musk, who stepped down on his post in the leadership of the Ministry of Government’s efficiency.
This decision comes just a few days before the Senate’s expected vote on Ezkman’s nomination.
Trump expressed last December and before returning to the presidency, his desire to be Ezkman – the entrepreneur and the first non -professional astronaut to walk in space – next NASA manager.
But the New York Times reported on Saturday, quoting unnamed sources, that Trump would withdraw this nomination after learning that Ezkman made donations to prominent Democrats.
According to reports, Mask practiced direct pressure on President Litoli Esguman, who had important trade transactions with Spice X, the highest position in NASA, which raised questions about the possibility of conflicts of interests.
With the emergence of the news, Musk confirmed on the X platform that “it is rare to find a person with this efficiency and kind -hearted.”
Eskman, founder of the 42 -year -old Shevat 4, has emerged as a leading figure in the field of commercial spaces through his prominent cooperation with Spice X.
Ezkman made history last September when he got out of the “Croo Dragon” vehicle to look at the Earth from space as he holds the outer structure of the vehicle, in the first traffic operation carried out by a civilian civilian and an uncontrolled astronaut.
