“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,”

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.

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.
