Jared Isaacman, the nominee to serve as administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has a concerning history of being a significant donor to Democratic Party candidates, as well as Democrat-aligned SuperPACs and campaign committees. Additionally, two companies founded by Isaacman heavily promote diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives (DEI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) programs—both of which push a radical progressive political agenda.
Technology and space exploration billionaire Elon Musk is likely pushing for Isaacman’s nomination. Isaacman served as the commander of Musk’s SpaceX’s Inspiration4 private space flight mission, as well as its Polaris Dawn mission launched in 2024. He was the first private citizen to perform an EVA spacewalk.
