No
For one, SpaceX can't even hire non-citizens from what I understand

- somenameforme 2y agoThat's nothing to do with SpaceX specifically. The same applies to any American company building long range rockets. The government classifies this as weapons technology, and so it falls under ITAR - the International Traffic in Arms Regulations [1]. And hiring a foreign employee (or even a multi-national employee) is considered equivalent to a transfer of the underlying technology to that individual's home country or countries. In cases where this would be unlawful, which is most, hiring such persons would be unlawful.
