Despite the controversial owner of the company, NASA eventually relies on SpaceX as a reliable partner. According to agency director Bill Nelson, this is mainly because SpaceX is not run by Elon Musk.

In an interview with NPR, NASA director Bill Nelson explained his position regarding Musk, whose company receives multibillion-dollar government contracts from NASA.

“Elon Musk’s decision-making has come under a lot of scrutiny in recent years when it comes to some of his other companies, Twitter and Tesla. Are you concerned that so much of this plan is in the hands of Elon Musk at this point in time?” interviewer Scott Detrow asked Nelson.

“Elon Musk… one of the most important decisions he made, as a matter of fact, is he picked a president named Gwynne Shotwell. She runs SpaceX. She is excellent. And so I have no concerns,” Nelson replied.
