Elon Musk is apparently on Joe Biden’s enemies list. His weaponized Department of Justice is now suing Musk’s company SpaceX on the grounds that it discriminated against asylum seekers and refugees.
Here’s more from CNBC:
The U.S. Department of Justice sued SpaceX on Thursday, alleging Elon Musk’s space company discriminated against refugees and asylum seekers in its hiring practices.
The lawsuit says between 2018 and 2022, SpaceX “wrongly claimed” that export control laws limited its hiring to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
The DOJ has been investigating SpaceX since June 2020, when the department’s Immigrant and Employee Rights Section received a complaint of employment discrimination from a non-U.S. citizen.
“Our investigation 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,” Kristen Clarke, Assistant Attorney General of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, said in a statement.
Clarke added that the DOJ’s investigation found “SpaceX recruiters and high-level officials took actions that actively discouraged asylees and refugees from seeking work opportunities at the company.”
SpaceX did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the DOJ lawsuit.
The DOJ 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,” as well as civil penalties and policy changes from the company.
This is really no shock given how much Joe Biden despises Elon Musk for buying Twitter and taking away one of the White House’s main avenues for censoring Americans. And what are we really talking about here? Asylum seekers and refugees? Give me a break. Musk has explained that his company deals in rocket technology, which is considered an ‘advanced weapons technology’ and therefore he’s not legally allowed to hire anyone with less than a green card. I know the DOJ says he’s wrong about that but it honestly does make sense. Add to that this is a restriction that Musk has lamented when discussing it. And his company Tesla has hired many international workers. So it’s just hard to imagine that they are intentionally discriminating against international workers. But he must be destroyed and Joe Biden is going to try and make it happen.
