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

Investigating if company "engages in any pattern or practice of discrimination" against non-citizens

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Elon Musk’s SpaceX for allegedly preferring to hire American citizens over non-citizens.

According to the DOJ, in March 2020, a non-U.S. citizen inquiring about the position of technology strategy associate at SpaceX was asked about his citizenship status. DOJ attorney Lisa Sandoval stated that SpaceX “ultimately failed to hire him for the position because he is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.”

Last Thursday, the DOJ filed a request with a judge “to order SpaceX to comply with an administrative subpoena for documents related to how the company hires,” CNBC reported. The DOJ wants SpaceX to comply with its subpoena within two weeks.

The disgruntled applicant initially filed a complaint of employee discrimination with the DOJ’s Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) on May 29, 2020. The IER enforces the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which has an anti-discrimination provision prohibiting citizenship status and national origin discrimination in hiring, firing, or recruitment or referral for a fee.

With that communist Russia and China are back too controlling all of outer space.

H/T for Thunder calling it

FYI two months ago it was Thunder who correctly stated that the Biden (Obama) administration would go after Musk/ Spacex

“It used to be that working for a Department of Defense contractor required US citizenship. No exceptions. It didn’t get you the job, it merely allowed you to apply. Further down the road there are security clearances, above and beyond whatever the job requirements are.
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?”

There still are no exceptions to the citizenship requirement for working for a DoD contractor.

Elon dared to criticize Puppet Xiden.

Then it’s an investigation, like magic over this BS.

He also quit Twitter today. Best move he’s made was fleeing to Texas, a free state.

This is the FBI that doesn’t have time to investigate corruption of the Biden family! This is the FBI that won’t do forensic audits on corrupt voting machines! Same FBI that refused to look for voter fraud! Same FBI that not only allowed espionage of a presidential campaign and president-elect but also instigated it! It is outrageous how corrupt this government has become? Full blown communism now!

So let me get this straight....

A company hires an illegal, the government goes after the company.

A company refuses to hire an illegal, the government goes after the company.

Absolutely insane.

I have more respect for North Korean voters than any Americans who actually voted for Xiden.

NK voters who didn’t vote for Kim Jong Un would have been executed. No exceptions.

“ultimately failed to hire him for the position because he is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.”


If he’s not a ‘lawful permanent resident’ how could he be hired for any job? Try getting a job in Mexico, the E.U. or UK without being a ‘lawful permanent resident’.

This is just perverse. DOJ exempts Hillary from prosecution, ignores fake FISAs, but gets bent out of shape over the rights of non-Americans? Just FUBAR!

I had to check if this was the “Babylon Bee”. Been having to do that a lot lately.

This is when you know your government has turned against its own citizens (if you didn’t already).

That’s it, go after the guy that had the gall to open his
yap a week or so ago, and speak out against some of the
things going on.

I mean, this is how China takes care of people like that.
