SpaceX has been through the wringer on this one, so just copy & paste from their listing:
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

- TeaBrain 2y agoThe SpaceX case was centered around ITAR regulations. ITAR jobs do not necessarily require security clearance. As the person you responded to mentioned, you have to be a citizen to get security clearance and related jobs. Asylum seekers and refugees can't get clearance.

- nunez 2y agoYeah, SpaceX needs to conform to ITAR for most of their jobs given their industry but any cleared roles require US citizenship. That said, if Elon used Tesla employees for Twitter business, what to say that he doesn't do the same for SpaceX business?
