Isaacman, a commercial astronaut and billionaire CEO of the payment processing company Shift4, has a long-standing relationship with Elon Musk, who this week left his post as a senior adviser to President Donald Trump and chief of the Department of Government Efficiency.

I'm surprised he doesn't also think the sky is a carpet painted by God.

He hasn't done anything. But they pulled his nomination. I'm fully expecting them to nominate someone worse than a billionaire executive from SpaceX.

Isaacman had the benefit of doubt. I suspect this is probably some kind of punishment due to Elons behavior. Whoever they put in for this position will very likely be a monster.
