Why Elon Musk just went to war with NASA’s chief

from Apple News Today

A power struggle is going on at NASA as it struggles to keep one of its most ambitious projects on schedule. Emily Glazer, enterprise reporter at the Wall Street Journal, discusses the back-and-forth over who should lead the agency — and how Elon Musk is involved. In Israel, Vice President JD Vance this week said he is optimistic about the Gaza ceasefire. NPR reports on how his visit comes as Israel changes rules over aid groups working in the region. Around 200,000 Afghan refugees have come to the U.S. since the war in their country ended. The Washington Post’s John Woodrow Cox tells the story of one man who supported the U.S. during the war but now faces deportation as Trump ends programs created to help Afghans. Plus, a Trump nominee withdraws after incendiary texts were revealed, the trick to reducing the chances of a peanut allergy, and how one of the NBA’s biggest young stars is getting even bigger. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
