IT’s a fascist coup. Plain and simple. This is what happens when you do not have an opposition party. There are no checks on government any longer due to the bipartisan nature of the coup.

Holy cow Batman, that didn’t take long! It was as if the freaking freaks were at their desks with this crap ready to move the moment Trump was removed by coup from Office! You can’t tell me Biden hired new attorneys who were able to move in and start this crap up in a week!?<?

Who wishes to bet an ice ream bar that all the contracts that Musk has with the US government are explicit about citizens only being hired...and then—ONLY qualified CITIZENS.

Poking the hornet’s nest is smarter than poking Elon Musk.

If the DOJ is going after Elon for hiring Americans, then it would follow that Elon should make EXTRA sure his StarShip test vehicles SN8, SN9 & SN10 haven't been sabotaged.

Test vehicle failures aren't unusual, but two crash landings in a row?.. C'MON, MAN!

And would a FReeper rocket dynamics expert here tell me why SN8 and SN9 both seemed to wait too long before flipping to vertical before landing? What's with the dramatic shift to upright at the very last second rather than 5 or so seconds sooner before touching down? ARGH!!!!!

The Falcon boosters fall in an upright position for a long, long time.. Why don't the StarShips do the same? Are they too heavy to stop after the raptors ignite?

The tax law does. So why the difference?

Good grief what a loss of freedom in the last 50 to 60 years

True, the Republican Party is no match for the Democrat-Media propaganda complex. We do not have an effective opposition party.

Did this somehow change? I would consider any space related project to fall under the purview of the DOD. So we are now going to let Abdul the Goat Humper entryway into our advanced technology? Huh?

Obama let Indian outsourcing companies bid on Federal
contracts.

Remember Trump ended this with an Executive Order? (It was due to the fact that the Tennessee Valley Authority replaced its IT workforce with several Indian outsourcing companies. USTechWorkers called them on it, and got Trump’s attention. Thus the EO. Many Republican Senator opposed Trump doing this.

Okay, I’m a senior citizen - there I finally admitted it! - and I am sometimes a little slow on the uptake (had that problem well before I became a “senior”).

I have to ask:

If, as it appears to be alleged in this case, unlawful presence cannot be used in screening job applicants, what is the purpose of the E-verify system and requiring submission of citizenship/immigration documentation during the hiring process?

I understood that it was to verify your eligibility to legally work in the United States. The employer is legally required to collect and retain this information. There is even a specific government form that is completed as part of the process.

Is the DoJ now saying that if the applicant says they are not legally allowed to work in the United States, that admission is insufficient to deny them employment?

Or is this a matter of the employer asking the salient question at the wrong time? (Say, during the initial interview as opposed to when the hiring package is being filled out.)

Or perhaps wording the status question incorrectly when it was asked? (”Are you an illegal immigrant/alien?” vs. “Can you legally work in the United States?”)

The frosting on the DoJ cake is that a critical technology company, like SpaceX, could be compelled to hire a foreigner in the country illegally thereby exposing company (and possibly government) proprietary data and national security information to compromise by unscreened and uncleared foreigners.

Oh crap! I forgot! China Joe Biden is President now!

Never mind. That cake is already baked. And don’t bother locking your safe. It’ll just aggravate THEM when they come looking.

"Best move he’s made was fleeing to Texas, a free state."

For some things, but not for fleeing the long arm of the DOJ.

They'll pursue him...or anyone else like him...regardless if they live in the most red of red states.

I find it amazing that the DOJ did nothing under Trump administration...but look at them now. Going after Elon two weeks after inauguration. Deep State has their plans in place.

Ha! Not only will xiden's DOJ "piss him off"...they will put an electron microscope up were the sun don't shine.

And if they don't like what they see....or even if they do....it's up to them if they decide to shut him down.
They won't even allow him to fly a paper airplane off his back porch (if they so desired)

Those people are psychotic, evil and they have ALL the power and his business fate lies in their hands.

***DOJ Targets Elon Musk’s SpaceX For Allegedly Preferring To Hire U.S. Citizens***

I doubt this administration is any more interested in a space program than the 'bama Admin... plus China won't like the competition.

Remember when China couldn't get a rocket more than a few hundred feet off of the ground? ...and Prez Bill Clintooon 'sold' them the technology --- the same way Secretary Hildebeest sold her office for millions of dollars? Wonder if wonders, NO CONSEQUENCES against either of them!

The first stirrings towards our descending into a banana republic.

Isn’t Musk’s SpaceX doing some business with DoD? Such business requires security clearances, and some compartmented clearances are for American citizens only. That is DoD’s requirement, not Elon Musk’s preference. But then a deal has been made by Washington to transfer sensitive technologies to China. Nothing new, under the Clinton Administration, Loral transferred some technologies to China which went right to their ICBM guidance systems, all for a campaign contribution.

Next...

The DOJ will be investigating anyone starting a company in the U.S. and not starting similar operations overseas.

A few years ago a police department in Texas (I think) was ordered to end its US-citizens-only policy for law enforcement hires. Green card holders had an equal shot under the law (supposedly).

Elon Musk hires the best engineers in the world. He does not care of their country of origin nor race. He just wants the best engineer he can find.
