The Heritage Foundation, a leading conservative think tank, has intensively requested information from NASA regarding internal employee communications about billionaire Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump. The group's actions are part of an effort to support Trump's potential reelection by identifying uncooperative civil servants and promoting private sector progress.

This wide-ranging initiative, which includes over 65,000 information requests, aims to highlight potential resistance within federal agencies such as NASA against innovative companies like Musk's SpaceX. The foundation asserts that these agencies are hindered by political distractions and seeks to bring more conservative efficiency to government operations.

Amidst these efforts, Musk and Trump campaign spokespersons have distanced themselves from the Heritage Foundation's actions. However, the foundation continues to play a prominent role in shaping proposed conservative policies for a possible Trump administration through initiatives like Project 2025.
