Trump Names Sean Duffy as Interim Head of NASA
President Trump has appointed Sean Duffy as the interim head of NASA, replacing the previous nominee who had close ties to Elon Musk. The decision comes after the withdrawal of Musk's associate's nomination in May, which was seen as a breakdown in the alliance between Trump and Musk. Duffy, a former Republican congressman, will now lead the space agency on an interim basis as the administration searches for a permanent replacement. The move is seen as a shift in the relationship between the White House and the tech entrepreneur, who had previously enjoyed a close working relationship. The article suggests that the decision to appoint Duffy reflects the changing dynamics between the Trump administration and the business community, particularly in the space industry.
