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.

Amazes me how many commenters have reading comprehension problems. The applicant IS NOT a citizen NOR a permanent legal resident. It states this very clearly in the article.
My money is on Musk. My money has been on Musk. I can’t wait for the Starlink IPO whenever it happens.
I am no fan of tesla, but spacex and starlink are so cool, sux that joe wants to shut down the cool stuff.
Maybe he’ll buy the Bahamas and move everything there ,LOL
closer to the equator, that simplifies the space shot...
Yes, can’t have this guy getting to Mars before the Chicoms...
Agreed. My reaction was, “Wait, what?”
Dementia Joe has just had his order for Teslas cancelled.
So, what is the issue? It is common for people to not be hired into sensitive positions because they are not citizens. When I used to hire people, I *only* hired US citizens. I'm pretty sure that even our interns had to be citizens. This was in a DoD facility.
I'm certain that Elon Musk has a lot of sensitive projects going on, considering that his SpaceX company works closely with the government. Most likely his company cannot legally hire non-citizens. This lawsuit will be thrown out.
Is Nancy behind this ?
The US is quickly turning into Hell
I watched a video where Musk was on a stage somewhere and he was asked why he doesn’t hire non-U.S. citizens. He answered it was because U.S. law forbids it due to the sensitive nature of the information involved. IOW’s, because SpaceX works with NASA and uses NASA launch pads and other equipment. We’ll now see Bidumb and his Ho allowing foreigners access to OUR tax supported infrastructure due to Marxist agitation.
Yes, Musk does get money from the taxpayers AND he supports the ACLU.
Let’s see. About 80 million Trump supporters against the weenie deep state. Now, piss off 60 million millennials who love Musk.
That’s half the population against the deep state fascists. Now, deep state weenies, try to travel beyond DC and see what happens to you.
Exactly my thinking, especially if the position in question was in a sensitive federal project. The contract might even have a restriction on what citizen status the personnel had to have.
I would think that if the applicant had the correct visa to work in the US, they would have stated such in the article.
If Elon wants to go to Mars, he’ll have to “sell out” to the Leftists. Or hope Texas declare for independence.
Elon Musk may win this one. SpaceX has government contracts that require a security clearance where the government dictated that he can’t hire people who won’t pass a background check.
Don’t forget. He wasn’t to complimentary toward Leftist players last week.
Someone must have reported him.
WTF?😵
