SpaceX leader reassured NASA chief about Elson Musk.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said he saw the head of SpaceX last weekend and wanted to hear just one thing from her in light of company owner Elon Musk’s tumultuous Twitter takeover.
“Tell me that the distraction that Elon might have on Twitter is not going to affect SpaceX,” Nelson, recalling the conversation, said he asked Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president and CEO.
“I assure you, it is not,” Shotwell responded, according to Nelson.
“You have nothing to worry about.”
Nelson, who first mentioned the exchange earlier Sunday after a news conference in Houston, said the encounter took place after the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington D.C., on Dec.
5 and that it was completely friendly because he knows Shotwell — not Musk — is running SpaceX.
