> In job postings and public statements over several years, SpaceX wrongly claimed that under federal regulations known as “export control laws,” SpaceX could hire only U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, sometimes referred to as “green card holders.”
I would say it's totally fair if you're trying to discriminate based upon said regulations.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoThis reads more like trying to comply with the regulations and doing so imperfectly, rather than using the regs as a pretext to discriminate.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoThis verge article[1] lays out some of the timeline, and it seems that even a week after the investigation opened Elon tweeted about how at least a green card was required[2]. At best it feels like they were not interpreting the law in good faith.

- NotYourLawyer 3y agoCan you teach me how to read minds the way you apparently do?
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoNo, you're right, it could also be years of ignorance from multiple levels of SpaceX combined with an obstinance to not consider changing their position even in the light of a federal investigation.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoWhat is even the motive to misconstrue the regs here? Just a hatred of asylees?
