Concern about SpaceX influence at NASA grows with new appointee
Briefly

Morale at NASA is reportedly at a low point due to significant leadership changes under the Trump administration and actions taken by newly appointed interim administrator Janet Petro. She ordered the removal of diversity contracts and encouraged employees to report dissenting voices. Additionally, SpaceX founder Elon Musk's involvement has raised concerns among NASA staff, who fear they may be working for his company rather than for the agency. The recent hiring of a SpaceX veteran as senior advisor further amplifies worries regarding potential conflicts of interest and the erosion of NASA's autonomy.
Morale at NASA has reached an all-time low as employees grapple with leadership changes, perceived external pressures, and concerns over company influence.
