Tesla CEO Elon Musk blasted Biden’s ‘weaponized’ DOJ after it slapped SpaceX with a lawsuit for not hiring asylum seekers and refugees.
According to the lawsuit, the DOJ found that “SpaceX failed to fairly consider or hire asylees and refugees because of their citizenship status and imposed what amounted to a ban on their hire regardless of their qualification, in violation of federal law,” Assistant AG of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, Kristen Clarke said.
“SpaceX recruiters and high-level officials took actions that actively discouraged asylees and refugees from seeking work opportunities at the company,” according to the complaint.
According to data SpaceX provided, the DOJ said the company “hired only one individual who was an asylee and identified as such in his application” over a nearly four-year period and across more than 10,000 hires.
The lone hire came months after the DOJ notified SpaceX of its investigation.
Musk responded Thursday night, tweeting:
“SpaceX was told repeatedly that hiring anyone who was not a permanent resident of the United States would violate international arms trafficking law, which would be a criminal offense,” adding, “This is yet another case of weaponization of the DOJ for political purposes.”
Biden’s lawsuit seeks to win “fair consideration and back pay for asylees and refugees who were deterred or denied employment at SpaceX due to the alleged discrimination,” along with policy changes and civil penalties from the company.
The news comes just days after Musk vowed to sue organizations funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros that have been pushing for a major crackdown on free speech.
As the Daily Fetched reported:
In a post on X, dated Aug. 23, Musk agreed with investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger, who said George Soros-funded NGOs have been falsely claiming “hate incidents” are increasing to push for restrictions of free expression.
“Politicians & George Soros-funded NGOs say ‘hate incidents’ are rising, but they’re not,” Mr. Shellenberger wrote in his post.
“The data show the opposite: higher-than-ever and rising levels of tolerance of minorities. The reason they’re spreading hate misinformation is to justify a draconian crackdown on free speech.”
Depends on which way the wind blows. That's how they determine.
People “don’t understand the chilling effect• 1 ” of the federal export control laws that SpaceX allegedly cited in its job listings as a reason for excluding refugees and asylees as candidates, writes Abhi Tripathi, the director of mission operations at UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory. The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) only allows U.S. citizens and green card holders• 2 to access information in companies that make spacecraft and rockets for national security reasons. “Employees are PERSONALLY liable with huge fines and imprisonment if the wrong info gets out,” Tripathi says. It’s unclear which positions SpaceX allegedly refused refugee and asylum applicants for.

In short - you need to be able to obtain a calearance to work on this technology. Typical those are NOT given to illegal aliens or refugees.
....... This is what the "Governance" portion of ESG Enforcement looks like.
..... ESG = "Environmental, Social, Governance."
.
So the ‘gubmit’ is suing Musk, eh?
Work qualifications for a gubmit job are few: race, race, and race.
Work qualifications for Musk are many: intelligence, creativity, talent, and ability to create.
Working for the gubmit is an admission that one cannot really do any real work.
Working for Musk is a demonstration of talent and drive.
Eff the DOJ and the excrement it oozes out of. One can only hope that there is a very special treatment for their members follwing Bastille USA.
This DOJ is so lowlife sorry that they have to put up posters drumming up business with the illegal alien criminals requesting that they claim that Space-X discriminated against them. *** damn this corrupt Dept. of Jerks and the ass, Garland that runs that whorehouse. Using foreign criminals to bring charges against American businesses. Every one of those bass turds should be in prison. EVERY ONE! They’ve gotten away with their criminal acts for long enough.
“One of Nazi Germany’s greatest intelligence coups had its origin in an article Koedel clipped from the New York Times. The story explained that a “scrambler” phone had been set up in a soundproof room in the White House basement to protect President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s transatlantic conversations. Roosevelt had used the phone since September 1. The enterprising Nikolaus Bensmann, one of Koedel’s Abwehr handlers, passed this information on. By March 1942 the Germans had a system that produced transcripts of transatlantic calls hours after an intercept.
“The most crucial use of this technology took place on July 29, 1943, when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill phoned Roosevelt to discuss developments in Italy. The bloody Allied advance up the Italian boot can in part be traced Koedel’s work.”

“Austrian munitions dealer, Fritz Mandl, became one of Lamarr’s adoring fans when he saw her in the play Sissy. Lamarr and Mandl married in 1933 but it was short-lived.”
” She escaped from Mandl’s grasp in 1937 by fleeing to London but took with her the knowledge gained from dinner-table conversation over wartime weaponry.”
“After her marriage to Mandl, she had knowledge on munitions and various weaponry that would prove beneficial.”

WW2 poster: “Loose lips sink ships.”
a double edged sword for musk. remember what happened to John snatterly of papa john’s. someone enticed him to say racist things he wouldn’t normally say as a “training scenario “, recorded him and POOF! he’s out of the company HE STARTED. It’s simple SOP for the leftists. never EVER go along with what they say you should or shouldn’t do...its always a trap. always.
You mean Chinese engineers smuggled into the country???
the Chinese want Space X's rocket technology.
refugees=illegals
“Plus they were told it was illegal to hire non permanent residents.
Now they were supposed to hire refugeess? Wtf “
this is the level of “analysis” we get from Ukraine supporters.
They are surprised that it is the USA which has turned into a Soviet-style tyranny.
“Hundreds of thousands of East Germans emigrated to West Germany during the 19 years that Hans Joachim Tiedge, an immigrant himself, worked in the West German counterintelligence agency that keeps tabs on East German spies.”
lawbreakers
people willing to break American law to get ahead in life
Giving a likely law breaker the right to vote is one thing, giving a likely lawbreaker possible access to American technology to say allow Iran to deliver nuclear bombs via missiles is the height of stupidity.
The DoJ attack on Space X makes its prosecution of Donald Trump for having old documents even more outrageous.
I did not realize there were so many English speaking rocket scientists, highly trained mathematicians, and computer experts sneaking across the border.
apparently anyone doing anything beneficial to the uS is subject to investigation by DOJ and the IRS.
Blanked if you do and blanked if you don’t.
Your government at work folks!
Until enough people get fed up with it, regularly scheduled government overbearing, nanny-state beatings will continue.
My wife and my mother-in-law both worked at a ‘egg processing plant’ back in the 80’s.
They had a US Government inspector at all times.
The company was sold and the new owners decided to close that plant and consolidate at another facility.
I asked the inspector lady what she was going to do now, and she said she was already approved to go to another factory down state, Florida, to be an inspector there.
“Eggs or chickens?” I asked.
“Neither!”, she replied, “Missile parts!”..................
“John snatterly of papa john’s. someone enticed him to say racist things he wouldn’t normally say as a “training scenario “, recorded him and POOF! he’s out of the company HE STARTED. “
The FBI tried to do the exact same thing to Richard Jewell. Get him to “confess” to the bombing as part of a FBI “training” exercise.
By "refugees" do they mean "illegal immigrants"? Criminals who are in the United States illegally?????
What about illegal do these people not understand?
The madness that has America in its deathgrip destroys the ability to think and destroys all moral clarity in those infected by it.
The gods certainly intend to destroy half of the American electorate.
