Justice Department investigating Elon Musk’s SpaceX following complaint of hiring discrimination
quote:
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 andquote:,” 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.
ultimately failed to hire him for the position because he is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident
SpaceX did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment. The Department of Justice declined to comment.

The Immigrant and Employee Rights Section, or IER, said it notified SpaceX via email on June 8 that it had opened an investigation, requesting SpaceX provide information and documents related to its hiring and employment eligibility verification processes.
The filing said SpaceX responded in August, sending the DOJ a Form I-9 spreadsheet of information about employees dating back to June 2019. But SpaceX refused the DOJ’s request “to produce any Form I-9 supporting documentation, such as copies of employees’ passports, driver’s licenses, or Social Security cards,” Sandoval wrote.
IER then obtained a subpoena on Oct. 7, but SpaceX refused to produce the subpoenaed documents, the filing said.
SpaceX filed a petition with a DOJ administrative tribunal to dismiss the subpoena on grounds that it exceeded the scope of IER’s authority, but that petition was denied, and SpaceX was ordered to comply. IER said SpaceX on Dec. 11 acknowledged the order but told IER “that it ‘does not intend to produce any additional information in response to the administrative subpoena.’”
The IER argued that the subpoenaed documents are relevant because they would show the extent to which SpaceX hires non-U.S. citizens, and that it’s not a burdensome request, although SpaceX has told the IER that it would have to retrieve each document manually.
The Department of Justice is requesting an order from the court to require SpaceX to comply with the subpoena within two weeks.

And this would have absolutely nothing to do with Musk's involvement with GameStop, right?!?!

Maybe they didn't hire him because he's a litigious dick.

So the DOJ is going to start targeting companies who focus on hiring Americans? And who’s CEO is himself an immigrant?

Since when is citizenship status a protected class?!?! No American employer should hire aliens unless they have permission to work in this country. And then only if they are eminently qualified.

100 fine and community service

What SpaceX really needs to do is to hire their engineers by democrat standards. They have too many white engineers running circles around NASA and Biden wants to fix that.

Choosing not to hire an applicant is now a failure, it appears.

It’s not until you start taking federal money. You agree to a whole lot of conditions when you do that. It’s why the complaint was filed with DOJ and not through the employment agencies.

Just Us and team Obiden getting ready to squeeze Musk.
I hate the Establishment, in particular the Democrat Party arm of it.

This is the work of psychopaths, the person who filed the complaint and the Biden DOJ. Elon hires people engineer reusable rockets.
The highlight of all of 2020 was Space X sending American astronauts to the ISS. I swear I almost cried when that propulsion system returned from space and auto landed on a platform. I would work at Space X for free just to be on team Elon.
I'm sure there are many Elon haters in this forum but Elon is hands down the most impressive public figure that I've witnessed in my lifetime.

Elon Musk is hereby charged with being successful and creating an atmosphere of competence and entrepreneurial activity. He is charge with only wanting to hire people that pass security checks. But most of all he is charged with leading technology superior to that of our friends the Chinese.
