Justice Department Sues SpaceX Over Alleged Discrimination Against Refugees and Asylum Seekers

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit accusing SpaceX of discriminating against refugees and asylum seekers in hiring.
SpaceX allegedly discouraged these groups from applying and refused to hire qualified individuals, violating federal law.
The company falsely claimed federal regulations prevented hiring non-citizens and green card holders.
Online job ads and statements from CEO Elon Musk indicated discriminatory practices, according to the DOJ.
The lawsuit seeks fair hiring consideration, back pay, penalties, and policy changes from SpaceX.
