    Wow that DOJ is busy generating strange process crimes that magically don't seem to go against anyone who happens to agree with the President or do his bidding on political matters.

    Musk has cited and noted the security concerns of the US LAW and policy he has been following for years. Musk is being sued for FOLLOWING THE LAW but DISAGREEING with Biden.

    Seriously who can't see this at this stage?

    How to succeed in business without really trying:

    1. Start a company
    2. Claim to be conservative (when it suits you)
    3. Break whatever laws you want
    4. Wait for the support and donations to roll in.

    What a great country!

    if Musk has such a document from the US government, post it, as I do agree that hiring non-Americans for a job like SpaceX would be a security risk

    So, SpaceX is an arms trafficking company? That's news to me.

    Isn't his multiple citizenships a problem?

    The crux of the issue is that he denied applications from people who had been granted asylum in US, and hence were legal residents with authority to work.

    If SpaceX argues they were not legally able to hire non-citizens, then the question is why they were hiring green card holders, who are not citizens

    I don't think Musk is listening to his attorneys. Second, SpaceX does hire H-1b visa holders, probaby IT positions for its company that have nothing to do specifically with building the satellites or the rocket itself. Third, ITAR regulations do say that you can hire only US Citizens and Green Card Holders with defensive technology, but it also depends on the job they are being hired to do. If they are an administrative assistant, HR assistant, custodian, or something to that accord, even an IT person for their website or internal communications systems, then any immigrant who is authorized to work in this country, including migrants and refugees, and have been approved by USCIS with an employment authorization document are entitled to the same protections as green card holders and US Citizens per Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as amended. Specifically, it is section 188 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.

    Wait.... what???? It is illegal not to hire illegal aliens? You stand behind that? Really? If so, why do you hate American workers so much? Also show me the law that American companies must hire illegals.

    Lets drop the pretense. The establishment is going after ALL their political enemies. From grandmas to parents to protesters to ex-Presidents to memers to lawyers to CEOs. We are transitioning from soft power to hard power. The Democrats are full fascist.

    False, Dems never get held accountable for their crimes when it’s relevant and republicans spend years being accused and investigated for nonsense. And Dems support that corruption.

    1. Start a company that has a government contract to allow them to launch into orbit. Every employee needs to have government security clearance to be employed. Hiring non-citizens would be an absolute breach of SpaceX contract with the US government.

    2. Elon has never claimed to be conservative. It was the left that had transitioned him on their own merits.. Not via Elon.

    3. What laws are being broken with the exception of the lefts proverbial brain?
    4. Or.... start another multi billion company that revolutionizes another industry.

    It used to be a great country. Unfortunately, he starting to slide into totalitarianism. Prosecute those who disagree with you, is the new Democrat battle cry.

    He's likely telling the truth, at least before good ol' Joe came into office. Many companies that do what SpaceX does (even if just in a government contractor role) do in fact (did?) require all employees to be US Citizens, and most if not all with clean records. The reason for this is if the SHTF and we end up at war, we may lean on companies like SpaceX for military purposes, and we wouldn't want foreign nationals, especially if they happen to be from the country we are unexpectedly in a war with, to have access to their resources, knowledge, or 'stuff'. That used to be basic common sense, but a lot of things that used to be basic common sense have gone by the wayside, sadly.

    No one is “going after” Disney. Just requiring they obey the same laws and everyone else and do t get special treatment.

    You’re contradicting Musk himself.
    The lawsuit cites a 2020 tweet from Musk where the billionaire wrote "US law requires at least a green card" to be hired at SpaceX since rockets are "advanced weapons and technology."

    Would you just come out and admit you support open borders?

    I asked you previously what we owe to these asylum seekers and you dodged the question.

    Apparently, we owe them employment?

    You’re assuming these are just asylum applicants and not those who have already received asylum? Why? I’m not. I don’t think someone here waiting to see a judge on an asylum claim would be considered an asylee. I don’t think they’re allowed to work while they wait. I could be wrong.
