Friendly suggestion. You do you…

I don’t want your suggestions…

You need to get some original material. It is almost embarrassing to watch.

Same response to the same-old same-old libberish.

Why do you let it trigger you?

Musk companies are starting to hold a reputation around racial discrimination. First Tesla, now SpaceX.

Oh wait . . . liberals are accusing their opponents of being racist?
Wow. I would believe it if they didn’t already do that every second of every day.

How about you?
When a boy cries “wolf” 1,000,000 times to you automatically believe him or do you start questioning what you’re told?

Elon is not my opponent. I quite enjoy my Tesla.

I think that question should be directed to all those libbies who whine every time there is an election, that if a Rep wins they will stamp their widdle feet and are leaving this teeribe and racist ass country. Let me know when they finally hop on a plane and actually leave. The country they hate

Do you believe parts of our current are worse than Nazis, as that was the assertion I was responding to

There is a regulatory reason that a company might only recruit US citizens. Satellite work often involves classified projects on behalf of DOD and the intelligence community. The workers involved require security clearances. Only US citizens can hold security clearances. And there are certain countries that fall into the category of being controlled by governments with goals counter to the interests of the United States. Said countries are know to have active intelligence collection efforts targeting the US and it’s activities and technology.

Exactly.
Hiring persons without a green card to do things such as build intercontinental ballistic rockets illegal under US International Traffic in Arms Regulations Law (ITAR)

In the minute-47 video below, Musk explained (at a shareholders meeting?) that US law prohibits Space-X from hiring people without green cards.

And says that at TESLA about a quarter of its US engineering team incomes from outside the US (as does Musk himself btw)

Pretty clearly this is a Justice department run amok, persecuting any person and any business it perceives to be a Biden opponent.

Last two posts by @e7alr and @Gaius make sense.

The DOJ is arguing that the International Traffic in Arms Regulation and the Export Administration Regulations do allow for asylees and refugees to be treated like US citizens.

I know nothing about these two pieces of legislation but I have a hard time believing such a massive loophole would exist in legislation trying to stop information falling into the wrong hands.

Yes US citizens can and have and will spy for foreign countries but that does not mean safeguards to limit these acts should not exist.

Musk acquired Twitter and let loose the Twitter files showing just what the govt was actually doing in regards to censorship etc.

You think this DOJ was just going to let that go?

Interesting:
assistant AG for Civil Rights Kristen Clarke, who is suing elon musk and
SpaceX for “discriminating against asylum seekers” was an avowed black supremacist while at Harvard University

She apparently wrote in the Harvard Crimson
“Melanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities”
among other things.

A person likes that should not even HAVE a job at DoJ. I think this nails it shut. DoJ is not about fighting crime. It ud the political persecution arm of the party in power.

Full stop.

If she were white, and had written this about white people she would not work for the DOJ and her history of racist rantings would be the lead story on every network right now.

You know it.

We all know it.

Well, as long as we get all the good spots before the Chinese and Indians do.

Their orbit is about 17,000 in diameter and over 53,000 miles in circumference. If they were all lined up in single file around Earth there would be ten miles plus between them. Just having fun lol.

Except ITAR does no such thing…in fact, it defines asylees and refugees as “US Persons”.
