Jared Isaacman and President Donald Trump have met in recent weeks and discussed reviving the fintech billionaire’s nomination to lead NASA, according to a person familiar with the matter.
A decision to reconsider the Elon Musk ally would mark a major reversal for Trump after the White House revoked the job offer in May citing Isaacman’s ties to Democratic politicians. That left NASA without a long-term leader as the space agency grapples with funding and job cuts and races to bring astronauts back to the moon.

Trump has met with Isaacman, a SpaceX astronaut and executive chairman of Shift4 Payments Inc. in person more than once in recent weeks to discuss his vision for leading the space agency, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter is confidential.
The person cautioned that Trump hasn’t made a final decision and could go in a different direction. The role of NASA administrator also requires confirmation by the US Senate.
