🇺🇲👱🏻♂️ Donald Trump withdraws the nomination of the billionaire friend of Elon Musk to lead NASA
🤑 The president alleges that the tech entrepreneur and astronaut made donations to the Democratic Party in the past
Musk commits to continue being "advisor and friend" to Trump in his farewell from the US government.
Donald Trump has reversed one of his controversial nominations for significant positions.
The US president announced this Saturday that he will withdraw the candidacy of billionaire tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman as the next administrator of NASA, just a few days before the Senate was set to officially confirm his appointment.
The decision comes after a "thorough review of previous associations," according to the statement made by the president on his social media, regarding previous donations from the billionaire to the Democratic Party, according to sources close to the process cited by The New York Times.
The gesture was interpreted as a lack of loyalty at a time when Trump has reinforced his control over key appointments in his Administration.
