It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.

If confirmed, Isaacman would oversee billions of dollars in government contracts awarded to SpaceX.
