Elon Musk appears to be on solid ground by following US laws that require citizenship to work on anything weapon or military related.
So apparently SpaceX was told repeatedly that hiring anyone who was not a permanent resident of the United States would violate international arms trafficking law, which would be a criminal offense.
According to Musk, they were told that they could not even hire Canadian citizens, despite Canada being part of NORAD!
Now, they are suing SpaceX over discriminatory hiring, because they do not hire people who are not US citizens?
Do they really want a Russian scientist who is a Russian citizen without a green card to be hired by SpaceX and gather information to go back to Russia with? After all, SpaceX is miles ahead of NASA in this sort or technology.
Of course not.
The reality here is that this is a pretense, to allow the US Government to start to probe Elon Musk, who has become an enemy of the state for allowing people free speech and fighting back against Government oppression. They will no doubt use this investigation to go after other things would seem unrelated. Like how Robert Mueller ended up charging Paul Manafort with tax violations from years previous when investigating the 2016 election. These people are corrupt and abide by the old "you show me the man and I will show you the crime" mantra.
Make no mistake, we have become a true banana republic. We are just seeing an expansion from political opponents and their associates to powerful private citizens who are not of the same political opinions as the Administration and deep state.
BANANA REPUBLIC - I may have called it first !
well at least often
The most interesting thing is that Tesla has a great deal of non-citizen employees. There is nothing about Elon Musk and his businesses that discriminate based on citizenship. Only SpaceX has the standards put in place.
Apparently we are supposed to believe that Musk is discriminatory by only allowing non-citizens to work in one business, but not another.
Or we could believe what makes sense. That Musk was told at some point that SpaceX is under the umbrella of a military or weapons type industry and needed to add those guidelines (as does many government positions, including NASA).
I find it hard to believe that NASA would require citizenship, but they consider SpaceX to be engaged in discrimination for requiring…
I think we need to accept the fact that this administration is stuck on full retard, and will remain stuck on full retard until it ends.
Putting the very stupidest people who walk among us in charge is simply defying all logic, reason and common sense.
They are literally suing Musk and Space X for refusing to break the fucking law.
