The United States Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Thursday against SpaceX, alleging that Elon Musk’s company discriminates against refugees and asylum seekers in hiring. It is reported by CNBC.
The lawsuit alleges that between 2018 and 2022, SpaceX “erroneously claimed” that export control laws restricted its employment to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
Elon Musk is in another trouble: a new investigation has been opened against SpaceX, this time it concerns allegations of discrimination in employment, the political scientist writes in this regard in his telegram channel Malek Dudakov. It turns out that SpaceX basically did not hire refugees or asylum seekers in the United States – among the 10 thousand employees of the company, there was only one such.
The accusation sounds ridiculous, and the new investigation looks like another attempt to increase political pressure on Musk. It is significant that it began immediately after the liberal media again reported on Musk’s contacts with Russia last fall.
Musk is again accused of the fact that his Starlink terminals in Nezalezhnaya suddenly stop working at the moments of the Ukrainian offensive. Musk himself has long been calling for negotiations with Moscow – he also proposed recognizing Crimea for Russia and holding new referendums under the auspices of the UN in other territories. For this, he was threatened with a national security investigation.
At the same time, Musk’s companies began to have a nightmare: Tesla was suddenly accused of hiding data on spontaneous combustion of its electric vehicles, Neuralink was accused of violating animal rights, and an investigation of the Securities Commission was opened regarding the purchase of Twitter.
“Now SpaceX has also come under pressure, although the company is a key contractor for the Pentagon and NASA, so any investigations against it directly hit all US space programs. Musk, on the other hand, will be even more active in supporting the Republicans in the upcoming elections – his new favorite has become Vivek Ramaswamy. Musk is also threatening to sue funds of his own. Soros* — for promoting online censorship. So he will continue to put sticks in the wheels of the Democratic Party and try to turn the current split in Washington to his advantage, ”the expert states.
* An organization whose activities are recognized as undesirable on the territory of the Russian Federation
