For those of us familiar with the legal term “Disparate Impact” this report today will make sense. However, if you don’t know that it is unlawful to hire an “ineligible” applicant, the DOJ action seems ridiculous, which it is.
Under legal interpretation rules of “Disparate Impact” it is unlawful not to hire illegal aliens. If a company uses eligible (legal) work authorization status as a requirement on employment applications (when making hiring decisions), and if the use of legal work eligibility is used as a qualifier, and the eligibility (qualification) standards disqualify a protected class (nationality, ethnicity) at a disparate rate, then it is unlawful not to hire illegal aliens.
Read the emboldened paragraph below carefully.
WASHINGTON DC – 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.
“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,” DOJ attorney Lisa Sandoval wrote in a court document filed Thursday. The document was a request for a judge to order SpaceX to comply with an administrative subpoena for documents related to how the company hires. (more)
This may or may not be a disparate impact case. Ultimately, that is what the DOJ is once again seeking to discover.
Perhaps I’m being naive, but I tend to believe that it is a good thing for the corrupt ones to start going after rich people like Musk. These people need to fully understand the Clown World they have created.
At least Elon has the money to fight this.
But so much of his business still rely’s on our corrupt Gov’t.
Pelosi and hubby bought half a mil in Tesla last week. He’s safe. … For now.
You are wrong, they bought the puts to create an illusion. Their donors want his companies to fail and have lost billions on shorts for Elon’s company.
Money he got from government vehicle tax credits and no bid Space contracts.
I said months ago that he has been red pilled, this will prove or disprove it.
“…Elon also publicly excoriated the “lockdowns” as “fascistic” – which is absolutely correct though perhaps not in the sense he meant it…”
“…Elon gets this, apparently. At least, partially.
He sees the “de facto house arrest(ing”) as “unethical” but does not see the immorality of partnering with the government to enrich himself via mandates that advantage his corporate power. He does not get that if the government can force people to buy electric cars because of assertions about climatological health then surely – logically – it can force people to take a Needle for the sake of assertions about public health….”

Mr. Musk is “World of Technology” personified. He supports the Great Reset and I believe has created the technology that will be used… In some ways I believe he plays like he took the red pill and does the good things for the little guys to gain favor to use for a later time. Gain trust and favor of the people and they will listen to you
…but is this happening BECAUSE he’s been red pilled?
He’s a deep pocket. That’s the reason. Not being sure of his loyalties, the DOJ will be content to impose a large fine and distribute the $ to their favorite causes like BLM. Think of what happened to Microsoft. They paid their way out of trouble and the trouble went away.
It’s a DOJ pattern that is classic Eric Holder.
Probably this right here.
($$$ punishment to help “get his mind right”)
This is what happened to Microsoft back when the DOJ went after them. It was all political in the end; MS was forced to start giving monetary contributions when, they hadn’t ever before. So, Bill Gates went thru this already .. and he is still a major democrat who supports Biden. So….
I’m glad you said it. The Obama era shakedown rackets are back in vogue.
Wait a few months and Al Sharpton, and others Left-wing organizations, will be coming out of the woodwork for their share of the spoils.
I really hope the hundreds of Trump appointed judges help slow these people down.

Remember Harris/Biden eliminating gas and oil benefits Tesla How much is up to debate because political correctness already demands electric cars and Harris/Biden will accelerate that trend.
And 61% of the US electric grid is powered by oil and gas. 17% is powered by hydropower and wind. Solar and geothermal power only about 5%. Where and how are we going to plug in all these electric cars and trucks and railroads to transport people and products/materials?! What about homes? Planes?
Well I think the ultimate goal is to eliminate the standard of individuals having their own personal transportation – they would love to force “all of us” – the general public that is – into public transit only. Forget flying – that will be reserved only for the elites.
I believe the absolute standard is to eliminate ALL of us.
Leave only a handful on this planet.
MAX 400-500 million.
Georgia Guidestones – yup.
That not well thought out plan omits any understanding of how this world turns. The unprotected, unmanaged nuclear resources on the planet will kill that group in 30 years via waste leakage.
In 2014 when the movie, ‘Noah’ was coming out I was excited to go see it. Love the word of God and couldn’t wait to see the Biblical story of Noah come to life using all the special effects Hollyweird has to offer.
What a disgusting, rotten, blasphemous disappointment it was watching God’s word being mocked by social justice warriors.
In the movie God was not destroying the world and most of its inhabitants due to human depravity and sin — as the Bible teaches. Instead God was destroying every single human being in order to save planet earth. Noah just screwed things up and wrecked God’s plan to kill him.
Since “they” like to tell us what their plans are, I believe you are right — the absolute standard is to eliminate all of us.
I remember the same Raven – about this movie – I too was excited to see it – hugely disgusted with the way the whole thing was twisted. Great point tying the movie to “their” need to let us know their evil rotten plans.
Correct I too have read AGENDA 21.
The following excerpt from a secret speech by Chinese General Chi Haotian:
“If you get on the website using key words to search, you will find out that a while ago comrade He Xin pointed out to the Hong Kong Business News during an interview that: “The U.S. has a shocking conspiracy.” According to what he had in hand, from September 27 to October 1, 1995, the Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev Foundation, funded by the United States, gathered 500 of the world’s most important statesmen, economic leaders and scientists, including George W. Bush (he was not the U.S. president at the time), the Baroness Thatcher, Tony Blair, Zbigniew Brzezinski, as well as George Soros, Bill Gates, futurist John Naisbitt, etc., all of the world’s most popular characters, in the San Francisco Fairmont hotel for a high-level roundtable conference, discussing problems about globalization and how to guide humanity to move forward into the 21st century. According to what He Xin had in hand, the outstanding people of the world in attendance thought that in the 21st century a mere 20 percent of the world’s population will be sufficient to maintain the world’s economy and prosperity, the other 80 percent or 4/5ths of the world’s population will be human garbage unable to produce new values. The people in attendance thought that this excess 80 percent population would be a trash population and “high-tech” means should be used to eliminate them gradually.”

“…The power of mobility. Of inexpensive mobility.
Gasoline – and the internal combustion engine – has made it possible for almost anyone to easily and cheaply travel Megallanic distances. To live in an area where houses are affordable – and drive to work in an area where they are not. To be able to visit friends and family in another state in just a few hours and then come back home the same day, if they like.
To drop everything you were doing and jump in the car right now – even if the tank is almost empty – and go get your daughter who just called for help because her car broke down two hours down the road.
Electric cars will make people realize what they have taken for granted.
The enornous voltage necessary to move several thousand pounds of vehicle 30 miles cannot be easily or inexpensively “poured in.” It also cannot be stored for easy transfer into a vehicle. It must be transmitted as needed, which is the equivalent – in gasoline terms – of pumping fuel from a central storage depot say 50 miles away through a network of pipelines – with pumping substations along the way, to maintain the necessary volume/pressure.
Once it has arrived, the volts can’t be “pumped” into the electric car’s battery as you would gas into a tank. The electricity has to be metered at a rate that is comparable to operating a gasoline station pump at about 5 percent of its normal flow capacity.
It has to be at this slowed-down rate in order to avoid a fire – or damage to the battery. This is unavoidable as EV technology exists – as opposed to what has been promised….”

Israel has new technology that can fully charge an electric car in 5 minutes.
But where would we get the electricity from? My guess would be coal fired power plants. I doubt that the JoBama regime would approve.

Or only limited electric mobility.
“…But sssssssaaaaaaaaaaaafety isn’t the point. Getting people out of cars – which enable them to escape the corral – is. The way this is being done is indirect and for that reason, ingenious. The car is not to be outlawed; much too noticeable, that. Instead, they are to be made so expensive and so inconvenient as to be no longer viable for the bipedal cattle.
You cannot drive what you cannot afford. This includes a house far away from the urban core cattle pen, which requires an income sufficient to be able to afford it, as opposed to the renting of a small apartment in the urban core cattle pen..”

Yep. Get everyone living in small apartments in large cities watching Netflix, smoking pot or drinking and the very wealthy can tour the mountains, lakes, oceans and forests as they see fit – with no interference from the riff raff.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch Obama purchased a $14 million beachfront home on Martha’s Vinyard. John Kerry purchased a $11 million beachfront home down the road from Obama on Martha’s Vinyard. Bill Gates bought a $45 million dollar beachfront home on the ocean at Delmar CA and Joe Biden bought a $4 million beachfront home on the ocean at Redondo Beach DE all within the past two years. According to a New York Times article published seven years ago citing the most prestigious climate scientists warned the entire East Coast of the United States would be underwater in twelve years. I guess they didn’t see the article?

“Where and how are we going to plug in all these electric cars”
IT IS A MEANS TO CONTROL AND LIMIT YOUR MOBILITY!!!!
“…One of the biggest functional/engineering obstacles to electric car viability is that batteries lose power in the cold – while gasoline doesn’t. If you leave your car parked in the garage with half a tank, it’ll still have a half-tank tomorrow morning. And range isn’t affected greatly by weather.
An electric car’s range is.
The colder it is, the shorter your range will be. Not just because batteries are less efficient in the cold, but also because in the cold, you’ll be using electricity for other things besides moving the car. Things like the heater – which in an electric car is powered by electricity – and if it’s dark out, you’ll be burning headlights longer – which also means burning juice. Which you have a finite amount of….”

“What about homes?”
Home prices are going to increase because they will have to be retrofitted with electrical systems suitable for recharging electric vehicles.
“….The next way you’ll pay will be for your next new home – or the ones being built around yours, which you’ll help pay for, too, via increased property taxes caused by the increased cost – and thus, assessed value – of those homes, which will be made more expensive via building codes that require them to be EV-ready.
Right now, in most places, those who buy EVs must pay extra – a la carte – for the ability to “fast” charge their EV at home as most existing homes aren’t wired for this. Adding the wiring (and the rest) adds about $1,000 to the cost of EV ownership but because that cost is directly applied to the EV owner it’s a disincentive to buy an EV. Ergo, every house must be wired for an EV – per the building codes – to hide the costs of the wiring – and to make you pay for it even if you don’t own an EV.
These building codes will also likely translate into car-free zones, if your car isn’t an electric car. The idea being to get you to “adopt” one. Like a face diaper….”

Maybe this non-citizen, nor permanent resident is Chinese!

I can tell you Eric this summer Elon saw thru the Overton. He must be mighty careful tho. I think he’s wise enough to understand this. We have the “duh” attitude as in how the hell could you not have? But very smart people are under the spell. I want to believe Bill Maher did as well. As a man who just spent several months trying to convince a girl who actually loved me and trusted me I have a good feel for what we are up against.
The demoralization campaign run my the Marxists over 50 years as done a lot of damage. It’s been a slow boil process of feeding them manipulated truth and it hits them from every angle. I suspect Elon got a huge redpill when they locked his company down.
It goes back to my point I have made several times as of late. We MUST have their support before things go kinetic if that indeed does happen. No they won’t take up arms but we need them in our corner. We can never win without them. The media and powers that be will drive us into humiliation and to the point where people like that don’t care if they come after our freedoms. I believe that is the goal; hence the in your face election rigging and the riots this summer.
We must hope the left goes full bananas and over reaches fast and hard enough to snap the grazers awake. I can also report that it will take the equivalent of a snack upside the head with a 2×4 before that happens. Example look what happened to Musk’s company and how CA treated him.
We must find ways to dodge blame and figure out how to get the left to eats itself. There are plenty of factions all seem to think they exist in harmony. They did but only in their hatred for DT. Their are weaknesses that can be exploited. It’s about understanding the war we fight and the surveillance state battlefield.
My own personal thoughts are to encourage reparations in the tune of 20T dollars. No I have not lost my mind and I am well aware of hyperinflation. Look it’s going to rear it’s head sooner or later. I contend the best chance we have out of this is to have it blow up sooner than later. I’m afraid if we wait all will be lost. They will entrench their people in positions of Law Enf, Military, and in trades like electricity, food, water, and fuel production. Once that happens we have already lost. Hope this makes sense fellers.
Correct.
The battle to ignite is between the:
Biden Grifters and assorted hangers-on: Joe, Jill, Jim, Frank, Hunter et al
Vs.
VP Kamala & Team: Kamala, Obamas, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, Jim Clyburn, Cory Booker et al.
If I had to guess I would say the Clintons are on Team Biden… Chuck Schumer would also be on Team Biden.
Not sure about Nancy. Hmmmm.
So what to do and what is going to happen??
Clearly Team Kamala wants to taken Biden out asap – which means in early 2023.
But.
Clearly Team Biden wants to continue the grift for as long as possible.

Harris was a Clinton pick early on when she came to meet and be introduced to Clinton donors in a private meeting in 2017.
You have a point. Elon also has an army of very touchy supporters or fans or whatever you’d like to call them.
They are articulate, educated, and many times of no political persuasion.
the puppets in place (in the goverment) are doing the bidding of desperate people behind schedule and wondering why President Trump isnt saying something….

really? you go after Elon? the only guy who helped us offset AI under China control (Huawei) 3 years ago..
pointed the the pedophile navy seal in thailand… ( of course he wasnt running a ring – but did sleep with women under the age of 12)
“really? you go after Elon? the only guy who helped us offset AI under China control (Huawei) 3 years ago.”
That’s exactly why they’re going after him. He wouldn’t hire a Chinese agent like Rickshaw Biden.
Yep… cant control travel without that system. and the robotics that are ready to patrol right now…
the whole point of no jobs for americans – is because they have the replacement ready already. just look up a video of the dogs patrolling in china now. the robot serving food. patrolling airports… flying overhead ( POTUS stopped that – Operation Open Skys)
“women under the age of 12” are children, not ‘women.’ Girls. Little girls.
thats why we need more women and men teaching democrats the proper words ( and not letting them redefine).
all elites travel abroad and are taught immediately the surplus of sex slaves in every country. its hard for them to lose that taste back at home.
Key Point I hope you take away from this is:

when it wasnt allowed to call out pedophiles (the comet pizza scam)… he had courage and did…
I’m not exactly sure when that was. If I remember correctly I was a young teen myself when it happened and didn’t know too much about it.
the entire corporate media invited the CEO of comet pizza in to paint him as a boy scout.. he is the dragqueen singer that provides – songs about blood, kids, and love in the pizza shot.
—–
megyn kellly was the host – that did his puff piece.
—–
this was to offset the public focus on their instagram postings – where they flaunted joking pictures of their kids taped to tables.
same reason why Biden told the pool story with Corn pop to justify exchanges of basements, pools, chains, and kids rubbing his leg.

They are going after Elon because Schumer, Biden, Obama, Harris, Pelosi donors have lost billions on their Tesla short. These same donors are calling the shots on who gets to be the speaker of the house, etc. They basically held a meeting in NYC and installed Pelosi. This is Pelosi’s and Biden’s way of paying them back on their billions in losses on TSLA shorts.
This government, this tax supported antiConstitutional Swamp Thing will attack any of us as they see fit by their corrupt methods.
We need to move on Sundance’s New Party idea ? quickly.
Paul Pelosi just invested up to 1M in Tesla.
Looks like a backhanded way of asking Elon to create the desired financial results.
Or perhaps they’re asking him nicely to STFU about GME
and asking him nicely not to get under AG Paxton’s protection

run Biden – runnn
They want TSLA stock to go down, Pelosi’s million is pocket change compared to the Billions her donors have lost shorting TSLA stock. We are talking 40-50 billion in losses.
https://nypost.com/2019/06/18/joe-bidens-nyc-fundraiser-raked-in-a-record-breaking-amount-of-cash/
This is Bidens way of paying back Mr. Chanos…. who has lost billions on his short of TSLA, Note Chano’s was also short Gamestop.
They bought TSLA as an out, to pretend they would rather the stock goes up. So if they create some policy that harms TSLA, or sticks Biden’s DOJ on them causing the stock to fall, Pelosi’s will just say look we had 1 million in puts on the stock, why would we want it to go down. It’s a headfake on their part.
Good points Jim!
When you see what they’re doing, look around to see what they’re trying to hide.
If your company *does not* screw over Americans on behalf of foreigners, then the US Dept of ‘Justice’ will come after you. That certainly makes things crystal clear.
May I quote you when I post this to FB?
Elon was just trying to keep the secrets of SpaceX from falling into Chinese hands.
It’s his company and he worked hard building it up.
He can do anything he damn well pleases with it.
As ordered by their Chinese owners, the Biden Occupation Government is trying to force Musk to place Beijing’s agents within his company,
The Oval Office isn’t enough for them.
SpaceForce was the guise to provide protection of the American Company.
Elon’s best friend is Thiel ( he owned the system Comey used to spy – Palintir_
—- idiots — idiots.
Palintir?
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/09/inside-palantir-technologies-peter-thiel-alex-karp.html
As a Tolkien fan, this name offends me for its very connotations.
how do you feel about the audit trail being at palantir?
A palantír is a fictional magical artefact from J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth legendarium. A palantír is described as an indestructible ball of crystal, used for communication and to see events in other parts of Arda, whether past or future.
Added to that, it was crafted by (if I remember correctly) the Numenoreans before they went evil; it was used by Gondor and the White Council to communicate and fight Sauron until Minas Ithil fell and became Minas Morgul, and the palantir there fell into his power. Denethor and Saruman also had palantirs, and in their wrestling with him fell under his sway – one to madness and despair, the other to treachery and evil.
But in the beginning, they were intended for use by those fighting evil; (indeed, when Aragorn took possession of Minas Tirith’s palantir, it was again used for that purpose.) That those who designed a system specifically to spy on us would dare to co-opt that name is enraging.
Now if I remember the story correctly, he used it to great effect as part of a feint knowing that Sauron possessed at least one of the other orbs to distract Sauron’s gaze away from Mordor.
All in order to allow the ring-bearer to sneak into Mordor unnoticed to continue on his quest to Mt. Doom.
Might be a lesson in here somewhere.

International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is a United States regulatory regime to restrict and control the export of defense and military related technologies to safeguard U.S. national security and further U.S. foreign policy objectives.
For practical purposes, ITAR regulations dictate that information and material pertaining to defense and military related technologies (items listed on the U.S. Munitions List) may only be shared with U.S. Persons unless authorization from the Department of State is received or a special exemption is used.
U.S. Persons (including organizations; see legal personality) can face heavy fines if they have, without authorization or the use of an exemption, provided foreign persons with access to ITAR-protected defense articles, services or technical data.

The Department of Justice is investigating SpaceX for being complaint with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)?
Not only that but why is the Department of Justice going out of their way to not use the term “illegal alien” since it is an “illegal alien” who filed a complaint to the DOJ in the first place?
Because the DOJ and all agencies have outlawed the term “illegal immigrant/illegal alien” from federal law without going through Congress/statutory law!
How long would it take a SpaceX ICBM to get from Brownsville, TX to Washington, DC?

My guess is 15 to 20 minutes. IIRC the Space Shuttle was only airborne less than 2 minutes into it’s burn and by that time it was too far and too fast to make it back to the Cape in case they had to abort. The back up landing strip was in Africa, which they had the momentum and altitude to reach.

What happened to “its a private company they can do what they want?”
The world has gone batsh*t crazy. i thought it was illegal to hire a person who is in the country illegally. Doesn’t the DOJ have anything better to do? I am so over this crap. Why are they going after Elon Musk anyway? Does he support Pres Trump? I honeslty do not know the answer but he pissed off soemone on the woke crowd. Disgusting that our tax dollars are wasted on this garbage.
“This may or may not be a disparate impact case.”
Revenue is probably down because of the pandemic hoax (the virus is real -it’s severity to society as a whole is not). My guess is that a substantial fine with no admission of guilt will make this all go away….
And the fine will be greatly reduced if you donate it to BLM or another deserving group.
Now, the fine will GO to BLM.

“During the obama years”
Or they would pass legislation or do an “Executive Order” to put something out of business or dramatically decrease it’s value. Then Soros and his corrupt cronies would swoop in and purchase the assets for pennies on the dollar.
Then the BHO criminals would “see the error of their ways” and reverse course, restoring the enterprise to profitability under new ownership.
That was done to a private educational institution in Arizona. sorry – no links.
It seems back during the auto industry bailout days, if the business owner(s) were registered or donated to (R) causes, then those dealerships were targeted for closure -irregardless of their profitability. Democratic auto dealerships were miraculously spared from the chopping block.

As a deplorable, irredeemable, white Christian, Paleo-Conservative, “domestic terrorist”, I’d like to offer my humblest greeting to Elon Musk.
Welcome to the club, pal!!
Isnt he moving to TX? GME? Vendetta against him? The Hag of Capital would not like that.
Musk is doing business in Germany too.

Inside out reasoning. Illegal aliens are not a protected class. The analysis should end there.
The illegals have more rights than US citizens.
WOW … the entire demonRAT Party did anything and everything to destroy a duly elected President … and the FBI did NOTHING … but Musk not hiring a “foreigner” … activates these moron traitors ?!?!!
Hard to believe isn’t it!
hire traitors get traitors
Oh, the FBI did plenty. Lying to FISA Courts, forging documents ……………….
GM is going all electric. Watch your six Elon
I think it is a good thing that the Sinister Force is turning to claiming illegal aliens are a “protected class.” The vast uninformed middle of America can be turned against them on the basis of this story of idiocy. Particularly if the plaintiff turns out to be a member of the CCP. There are unfortunately a large number of suburban moms who can’ t get past “Trump is a bully and I can’t stand bullies,” who will say, “NO, affirmative action does not extend beyond historically oppressed Native- & African American neighborhoods, especially to Chinese Communists.”
You’d probably be shocked at what those suburban moms could be persuaded to think. The fact that they think President Trump is a bully is all the proof you need.
Who marries and makes “mommies” out of these idiots?
Probably other idiots who are equally as naive and gullible to Leftwing lies.
Hmm… interesting timing given some of his outspoken comments as of late. And, on the heels of a striking of the term of illegal alien from being used by Federal agencies.
It is given that Elon Musk is decidedly liberal. Would be curious to see if this might red pill him into finding more common cause with those that share common enemies.
Or, perhaps he may go along to get along a la Bill Gates after the antitrust case against Microsoft back in the 90’s.
SO . . . the D.O.J. is mad at Elon Musks company for ” stonewalling ” requests for information ?
D.O.J. has no problem stonewalling Louie Golmert or Jim Jordan for information for 3 years though , or many others ?
Elon Musks next car should be made from Rearden Steel
Everyone here is familiar with the term ITAR, yes? SpaceX builds rocket engines, rockets, and guidance systems.
That did not stop the Chicoms from apparently getting their hands on Loral tech in 1996 now did it?
One guess as to who was in office during that time.
And taking donations from chinese “monks”. algoreclinton
Bill Clinton HANDED them that technology.
LORAL was forced to sell out to Chy-Nah by BillyGoat Clinton.
Of course the employer asked the applicant his nationality. The employer is required by law to do so & the applicant records it on an I-9 form or face criminal &/or high monetary penalties if he did not do so.
The applicant is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
In that case the applicant would need to obtain a Work Authorization Document(EAD) from the Dept of Labor or provide documents of certain pending applications with USCIS. I haven’t found any article on this law suit that addresses whether or not he provided such docs.
I-9 form:

Have permission to work in the U.S. docs.

Pardon me for asking, but Why would we want non-citizens anywhere near our space programs, private or otherwise?
Seems like inviting trouble to me.
The same reasons why it is allowed for foreign exchange students and the like to work on cutting edge research at all of our universities.
Show me a lawyer I’ll show you a cash cow.
The timing of this……
Last week with Wall Street Bets and GameStop- Elon was cheering for the little guys!
I saw one tweet where he even said his next rocket would have name on it if they reached a certain amount.
Makes you wonder……
Biden Obama Donor’s reinstalled Pelosi in 2018 as speaker of the house. They did this because she conducted business to their liking and passed bills like ACA, etc. which created chaos in the markets and peoples lives. Therefore making short trades more profitable under normal conditions Pelosi operates under. Instead their trades went awry causing them billions in losses. At the same time many of the Shorts flipped some funds to puts, or longs, they had already lost billions. These traders, or short hedgers also indicated they would reshort Tesla later on. Now that they have Biden Installed with Democrat Controlled Congress and senate. They are looking to make their billions back. Note Chanos has personally met with, and collaborated with Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and many others behind closed doors.
Translation: You didn’t support and bow before leftist orthodoxy, so now we’re going to make your life hell.
Marx and Lenin would be proud of today’s demonrats.
Just like the FAA hiring those less deserving over those more qualified is the injustice department advocating for more challenger mishaps ?
If the truth offends so be it: the federal government is a domestic enemy.
Seems to me that if the person is not a citizen or a permanent legal resident then they should not be getting the job, or at the very least they would be at the back of the line.
This has nothing to do with the Illegal immigrant hiring. This is a DOJ headfake to make Elon’s companies go down in value. The democrat’s playbook is to make something seem one way, yet the objective is actually something else. They basically give their dirty folks in the Govt’ some set of Parameters to get an outcome. Within those parameters there are many ways to make the outcome come to fruition. Just like they have local govt’ harassing Trump, they will be doing that to others as well.
Space X is subject to the legal requirements of the International Traffic in Arms Regulation. That specifically forbids the hiring of non-U.S. citizens/ LPRs if the applicant is from one of 30 countries. It is illegal for any employer to hire an illegal alien if that alien does not have permission from the INS to seek work in the U.S.
This looks like Mr. Musk is not doing the proper “Sing Along with Joe” bit so he and his company are being hit with lawfare.
Elon can afford to hire good lawyers. He’s not the typical buffoon. The corruptsters at DOJ are using him as an example to others. Elon will be fine, and the point will me made.
We are surrounded by idiots including many here.
You can leave.
Does anyone here believe the DOJ is being used as an instrument of justice in this instance?
Isn’t the depth and scope of FBI collusion and corruption sufficient evidence to the contrary?
Now if justice is not being served, what is the DOJ’s purpose?
Given NASA’s recurrent failures and the clear superiority of Space-X wouldn’t it make sense to engineer a “hostile takeover?”
Just think of the multitudinous uses of a successful space exploration company!
You could ship political dissidents to Mars to mine the asteroid belt or you could appoint your nephew with the Genders Studies degree to the position of Exploration Operations Manager.
The opportunity for political repression and financial reward is a ripe plum that
begs to be plucked!
It’s not about justice; it’s about control.
No. DoJ, in this case, is part of the scam to get China Inc. staff on shore and embedded in important places. Musk is the willing vehicle to help.
Still say this is all an act to get China Inc. people here on shore and embedded in allot of sensitive places. Musk’s history says this is a sham that he is supporting whole heartedly. He is mo friend of the US and Grifter of the 1st order. Musk is friend of Musk and nobody else.
Took his bailout money and DOE money to China Inc. to develop technology for re-import to US.
Cozied up to China Inc. to build cars and develop more technology to re-import to the US.
Likely sent the tax rebated money for hi cars off-shore as well, until it stopped.
Folks, let’s not forget that space launch systems fall under the International Trade in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Per the US government, you cannot allow a foreign national access to the data that creates or operates a launch system. This individual did not have US citizenship nor did they have a Permanent Residency Card (Green Card). Thus this individual could not qualify for this position and have access to ITAR data. This is just vindictiveness by the leftists in the DoJ to punish Mr. Musk for not toeing the party line of the day 100%, as well as supporting the Reddit investors who killed a multi-billion dollar hedge fund that I’m sure had ties all the way to the White House.
They force you to hire them, if you don’t, you are charged. If you do hire them, you are safe as a useful tool.
This is the DOJ flexing a muscle to demonstrate what happens to corporations that don’t hire CCP embeds.
DOJ now “Dept. of Jobs” for intersectionality of Antifa, BLM, Illegal Aliens, LGBTQ+ …?
The government has a lot of leverage over Elon Musk’s SpaceX. I expect him to resolve this quickly. This was just a bit of public drama for the DOJ to show what it can and will do to other corporations that don’t hire CCP spies.
Annnd he just stepped down. Wonder why?
Why would this be a surprise to anyone anymore? CA Attorney General openly boasts of hi ‘whole family of illegals’ living in CA, and I believe he is an anchor baby himself. The Left has been putting illegals into judicial clerkship and internship positions for years now, showing them the ropes from within, teaching them how to best bend the system to a breaking point and past it, without any consequences, and now we are going to reap the harvest of that.
Is Durham working this investigation too?
That “non-US citizen” shouldn’t even be in there, because everybody knows there are plenty of legal aliens living and working here.
It has made me so angry, the way that the MSM has been so successful in obscuring the difference between immigrants and illegal aliens.
So much so that I constantly see even conservative Trump supporters making this mistake.
You can thank your public schools of re-education! We have so many empty headed people running around it is frightening.
Mr Musk has the right to hire the most qualified for any job opening he has regardless of where they come from. US will lose at the Supreme Court as Mr Musk will say, “Bring it”!
