Hey, what could go wrong 🤷🏾

I wonder how much Jared paid for that appointment?

General strikes across all industries and services must occur soon. All unions need to collaborate.

He founded the payment company Shift4. Established the Make-a-Wish Foundation and has donated significantly to grest causes. He commanded the all-civilian space mission, Inspiration4, and Polaris Dawn mission, achieving the highest Earth orbit by humans and featured the first commercial spacewalk.

I'd rather see him fly the next two Polaris missions than ride a desk.

Oh no...

They’re totally going to send all that NASA money Elon’s way.

The Dems are absolutely to blame for what is about to happen. They knew how big of threat Trump was and have permitted the Republicans to amass so much influence.

Why hasn’t Biden!?

How many NASA heads have been to Space?

I'm not saying there's zero crossover, but there's a big difference between being an astronaut and managing a government agency so large that, among other things, it's also technically a railroad.

He nominated a rich child whose sole adjacent experience has been exploration for profit.

Oh look, they hired fElon an assistant

To carry around that giant tax payer subsidized blank check

I worked with him for 7 years, 1.5 decades ago. Back then, he was a kid with just a GED but a growing biz. Now a billionaire oligarch bud of Elon and Trump. There will be self-dealing.

Wait me to! Deadass

adonna55.bsky.social•164 days ago

Do you think they could all just send themselves to space and forget the oxygen? 😅

peterwiseman.bsky.social•164 days ago

Luckily Jared Isaacman is a billionaire which makes him qualified to do anything in the new administration🙃

arizonajohnny.bsky.social•164 days ago

He's there to plunder whatever valuable assets NASA has.
