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.

Once again proving that this so called "Global American Empire" is a foreign occupation of America.

The sooner Mars is colonized, the sooner the Martian Revolutionary War can take place.

And then President Clark, who took office after narrowly avoiding being on the former president's ship that exploded, declares martial law, and begins bombing all the colonies that made a move for independence.

So yeah, you fellas will have to build a solar farm. Its totally a solar farm and not a device built to fire a gamma ray burst capable of causing a mass extinction event at earth. Trust me, solar farms GOOD.

It takes 3 months to 2 years to get an army out there. Just cut the communications with Earth, which you have a 4 to 20 minute window to do so, then all you have to deal with are the local forces.

This has to be the most corrupt AND retarded official action I've seen from the DOJ so far. It's corruptarded. My first assumption was that the story must be slanted and not presenting the government's case accurately. It's amazing that this is the best the DOJ could come up with if they wanted to "punish" Musk over Twitter. Maybe they hope supporting "muh refugees" will score political points with Dem voters?

Random thoughts...

  • How the hell would "back pay" make any sense? For what? They have no offer, no contract, were never assigned work, and did no work!

  • Why does the DOJ even represent "asylees and refugees"? Why can't those people sue SpaceX themselves? When did this become the federal government's responsibility? I don't necessarily agree with it, but there's a "civil rights" principle that the federal government can sue to protect someone's constitutional rights under the law. This was filed by the "civil rights division" but I don't think it's actually an issue of rights (how?), and THEY AREN'T AMERICANS. Why do our tax dollars go to support lawsuits by foreigners who are competing with Americans?

  • Is there actually a law that says American companies have to hire non-Americans? Is it isolated to certain industries? Why would the United States have such a law? Something like that on the books completely undermines any politician promising "America First" to American workers. I can't be bothered reading the 1972 EEO Act but if that's what allows the government to do this then the whole thing needs to be scrapped. I'd support any presidential candidate calling for it's repeal.

  • They said SpaceX “wrongly claimed” that export control laws limited its hiring to U.S. citizens. Ok, so if that is the case is SpaceX the ONLY company doing that? Are the others going to be sued? If other companies hire non-citizens, why couldn't these non-citizens apply at those companies?

  • I'd appreciate the troll if Elon created a division just for non-citizens to twiddle their thumbs far away from rocket engines - and made it very clear that despite getting paid, they are all worthless parasites and were only hired to meet legal requirements.

But I hope this is thrown out of court. In non-clown world it would be, but it also wouldn't have been filed in the first place.
