Jared Isaacman, the private astronaut and Elon Musk ally who was removed from consideration to lead NASA earlier this year, met with acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy this week as a candidate for leading the space agency, a NASA spokesperson said.
“Secretary Duffy and Jared Isaacman had an excellent meeting yesterday,” NASA press secretary Bethany Stephens said in a statement. “At President Trump’s direction, Secretary Duffy in his capacity as acting NASA Administrator is meeting with and vetting several candidates for the permanent role.”
