Trump Names Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as Interim NASA Chief (WSJ. 20250710)
President Trump has named Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as interim NASA chief. The role has been open since May when Trump withdrew support for previous nominee, billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman. In a Truth Social post, the president raised concerns about Isaacman's past political donations to Democrats and ties to Elon Musk, who has been feuding with Trump. Duffy will continue serving in his role at the transportation department while he runs NASA. The European Union said it published a voluntary code of practice for general-purpose artificial intelligence. The code is meant to make it easier for companies to comply with AI legislation in the bloc. EU lawmakers approved the AI Act last year, which bans certain uses of AI, rolls out new transparency guidelines and requires risk assessments. The EU's executive arm, the European Commission said the code was developed by 13 independent experts, small and medium-sized enterprises, providers of large language models and more. Now, the commission and the EU's 27 member states have to decide whether to endorse it. And Tesla's board has set November 6th as a date for the EV maker's annual meeting. Some investors were concerned the company was close to missing a legal deadline. Tesla's last meeting was in June of 2024. In Texas where Tesla is based, companies are required to hold annual meetings with investors every year within 13 months of the last one, if it is requested by shareholders. At last year's meeting, Tesla shareholders approved board proposals that moved to the company's legal home to Texas and re-approved Musk's multi-billion dollar pay package.
