After Elon Criticizes Biden's FAA, Biden's DoJ Launches Investigation Alleging SpaceX Discriminates Against Non-US Citizens
2021-02-01
[NationalFile] Biden's Department of Justice is very concerned that Elon Musk may prefer to hire American citizens over foreign labor.

Only hours after Elon Musk derided the decision of the Biden administration FAA to delay a manned mission to Mars, the U.S. Department of Justice, under the Biden administration, announced it is investigating Musk’s SpaceX to determine whether the company discriminates against non-US citizens in its hiring practices.
Can the IRS be far behind?
Wait for the Department of Education referral...
After Biden’s FAA delayed a SpaceX test flight, Musk wrote on Twitter that "the FAA space division has a fundamentally broken regulatory structure."



"Their rules are meant for a handful of expendable launches per year from a few government facilities," Musk added. "Under those rules, humanity will never get to Mars."

Only six hours later, news broke that the Department of Justice was investigating SpaceX after a complaint alleged that Musk’s company prefers hiring American citizens over non-citizens.

#8  Sounds like the anecdote ("too good to be true" story...) I heard about a Texan meat plant where OSHA and the Agriculture Department's inspectors wanted the same fixture kept/removed or fines would be charged daily.

#6  Yeah, they're gonna drive him outta the country. That's the plan and America will be left without a space program. Only question is: Where will he go?

#2  SpaceX launch US military satellites. ITAR and US citizenship requirements. Perhaps B-1B bombers doing a low flyby over DoJ headquarters will help clear up the situation?
