The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating SpaceX over whether the company discriminates against non-U.S. citizens in its hiring practices and said Elon Musk’s company is stonewalling a subpoena for information, court documents revealed Thursday.

The DOJ’s Immigrant and Employee Rights Section received a complaint of employment discrimination from a non-U.S. citizen claiming that the company discriminated against him based on his citizenship status.

Given other countries do not offer this, i could care less if he wants to discriminate against foreign workers at the expense of American workers.

He’ll shut it down or move it to another country. Bet the immigrant is from China.

Translation: Elon needs to learn what the corrupt Clinton machine taught Bill Gates in the 1990’s about sharing his good fortunes with Democrats,

Musk has deviated lately from the narrative. This one of a series of shots across his bow. Suddenly Space X is not receiving the permits they require for launches.

Ok then, is the hidenbiden administration going to go after defense companies for requiring that employees be US citizens?

I see no difference between military defense systems and space vehicles/rockets/shuttles.

From the article:

“The charge alleges that on or about March 10, 2020, during the Charging Party’s interview for the position of Technology Strategy Associate, SpaceX made inquiries about his citizenship status and ultimately failed to hire him for the position because he is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident,” DOJ attorney Lisa Sandoval wrote in a court document filed Thursday. The document was a request for a judge to order SpaceX to comply with an administrative subpoena for documents related to how the company hires.

Now we know the REAL reason the FAA won't give a launch go-ahead for the Starship SN9 !!!

How DARE Elon seek to hire only Americans! And I'm guessing the non-citizen has the full backing of Soros, Biden, and the Chinese government seeking to get intel on Musk's operation.

He probably hired qualified, legal U.S. citizens without arrest records, facial tattoos or body metal.

So the part of the online application that asked if the applicant was a Mojado was offensive?

Who knew?

First he made his fortune as a welfare king relying on mandates from the government. He only became a target for leaving California. They’re going to teach him a lesson.

The FAA cancelled the scheduled test of SN9, saying the safety regs were not met.

And now Space-x is hit with civil rights accusation concerning hiring, as the DOJ critical race theorists are setupon Sace[X.

Eloon must not have contributed enough to the Dems or this is a pre;ude to a China takeover of Space-X and a crippling of the new US Space Force.

We truly are victims of a repression liberal fascist regime.

If they do not stop, we all will begin to understand why these fascists still maintain 5000 National Guardsmen in Washington.

Surely our military must understand the difference between loyalty to the Constitution and loyalty to a Liberal Fascist Dem Party. They increasingly appear to be the nations only hope.

Biden sure as hell doesn’t want our country to accelerate its space ability far beyond what China has.Its tantamount to treason. The military had better begin to understand that.

Certain non-citizen categories have the legal right to work in the US. Permanent residents being one.

Musk is going to lose on this issue.
