Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is pressing the Department of Justice for information regarding its lawsuit against SpaceX.
Vance goes on to question whether Justice’s lawsuit has to do with Musk’s recent acquisition of Twitter, stating there are “many intermediate steps that DOJ could have taken to inform SpaceX about current federal hiring rules and answer Mr. Musk’s [International Traffic in Arms Regulations] concerns before initiating a lawsuit,” adding that other aerospace jobs require employees to be citizens.

Was the DOJ investigation that precipitated this new discrimination lawsuit initiated in response to Mr. Musk’s acquisition of Twitter? The ITAR, which partially governs companies like SpaceX because of its lucrative government contracts and dealings in national security,that companies may need to obtain authorization to allow foreign hires to handle technology that is covered under the law.
