SpaceX Being Investigated Over Hiring Discrimination Complaint

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating Elon Musk's SpaceX over allegations the company discriminated against non-U.S. citizens in its hiring practices.

The department opened an investigation into SpaceX last June after receiving a complaint from a job applicant who had applied for a position last March. In a legal filing Thursday, the government said the complaint alleges that SpaceX asked about the applicant's citizenship status, "and ultimately failed to hire him for the position because he is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident."
