I am sure, all of you know about Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX)
After the Space Shuttle was retired, American Astronauts had to hitch a ride on Russian spacecraft to get to the International Space Station. Musk then started SpaceX, to get the USA back into the Spacebiz.
Musk’s rockets have been delivering supplies to the ISS, and this year astronauts are supposed to visit the ISS on board one of his rockets.
One of Musk’s big dreams is to send humans to Mars. His giant Mars rocket was tested for the first time, a few weeks ago.
All was well, until the new administration took office. As we all know, the new administration cancels or reverses most things that were done under the Trump administration.
Apparently, the Mars project was severely affected by the new rulings, and Musk said that with the new rulings, we will never send man to Mars.
Of course, this was a public criticism of the Biden Administration…. big mistake!
Now the DoJ is investigating SpaceX.
Their complaint…..he is only hiring Americans. He is discriminating against foreigners.
Yeap…. reversal of Trump’s goal to provide work for Americans!

so all things American will soon be reversed even the spirit of adventure and discovery....But we have the new lbgt flags hanging everywhere, right?

Ahh, Weaponizing Federal Agencies to use againt opposition. A proud Dem tradition that gained solid footing during the Obama years. And don't you dare question it or there will be a knock on your door.
Since we live in a country where you are now breaking a few laws just walking to your mailbox, if they want you, they can get you for something. Heck, if they want you bad enough, they can manufacture crimes out of thin air.
From the article, maybe you missed it:
”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.”
June 8th, Boy Biden does work fast. He has some sort of time machine.
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Elon Musk’s SpaceX over whether the company discriminates against non-U.S. citizens in its hiring, according to court documents filed on Thursday.
Surely you know these things take time. The original complaint was in March, the DOJ started the process, this is the only the latest step.
I don’t think any department was more influenced by trump more than the DOJ.
This is totally on trump, no amount of ignoring the facts can change that.
Good try however, nice to know nothing changes. Well actually is wasn’t such a good try, anyone who read the article would understand the facts.
I‘m sure junior read it.
Also from the article :
”IER then obtained a subpoena on Oct. 7, but SpaceX refused to produce the subpoenaed documents, the filing said.”
Yes, it appears this has been in motion for some time, certainly pre-datng the Biden admin.
I apologize for jumping to the conclusion that dems had once again weaponized a federal agency.
same here... I apoligize for falsely accusing the Biden administration
Well that is refreshing, my hat is off to the two of you.
(soon to be three?)
I think this illustrates two things. One, and I am certainly guilty as the next fellow, many times we see what we want to see. Even when the opposite is right in front of us.
Second, and this applies to the right and left equally, news items can be twisted. I can envision a blogger just spouting Thursday‘s development and not relating the what led up to it.
Many times I have read a headline and then find after reading the story that the reporter and the editor came to different conclusions. The headline writer wants the clicks, while hopefully the reporter wants the facts.
"I think this illustrates two things. One, and I am certainly guilty as the next fellow, many times we see what we want to see. Even when the opposite is right in front of us."
mcfarmer,
I think this thread and your quotes deserve to be in the Quote of the day thread!
It is also deserving of how to make the world a better place with Tim and Gunter and mcfarm initially jumping the gun.........but then, most importantly looking at your objective facts with an open mind........and acknowledging them.
the link does not connect but I should of found it somewhere else and checked. Agree with you guys of course
