    Lol. Elon Musk signed China’s socialist pact. Maybe we should just take SpaceX and put it under a loyal American stewardship?

    It's funny how European morons think the role of government isn't to govern. Elon isn't any special cuz hes a billionaire. Sipping for billionaires and rich folks is the most pathetic thing in the world.

    The funny thing is about the elon bootlickers is elon wouldn't even be here today if it not for the government. The government bailed his ass out when he had no money numerous times with SpaceX and tesla but how dare the government regulate him!

    Man people are so effin pathetic. Sipping nd bootlicking for billionaire. Nothing more pathetic in this world than ass licking rich folks. Obviously the right wing European scumbags would sympathetic for elon

    How do we go from an employment discrimination suit to accusations of weaponizing the DOJ? Look, even if SpaceX completely loses this suit (call it getting railroaded by the DOJ and the woke Deep State judge, if you want), they might pay a fine and have to change their hiring practices, but it's about a million miles away from being an existential threat to SpaceX or twitter or Musk's right to free expression. If this really is an attempt to control or get back at Elon Musk, it's a terrible, pathetic attempt.

    What? The government can't enforce its laws?! How dare them!

    Imagine sipping for the world's richest man and claiming he's being trested unfairly lol. Genuinely the most pathetic thing in the world

    But, I think it's interesting because Space Ghost was telling me that SpaceX wasn't ITAR compliant in the Ukraine thread, and here I see they were citing ITAR as the reason they couldn't hire non-green-card-holders. Diving into ITAR, though, doesn't seem to be worth our effort.

    I'm all for weaponizing the justice system towards the world's wealthiest.

    I'll admit I haven't followed this story too closely so don't understand the issue. What I'm wondering is Tesla or SpaceX being singled out? I know other companies have been sued over hiring practices.

    I don't think the world's wealthiest should get a break but I don't think justice system should be weaponized against them or anyone. Equal justice.

    I don't know if this is weaponizing and as I've said before regarding the investigations of Trump, or Biden, I don't see them as being weaponized.

    I think the natural course of humanity will eventually result in a justice system that is weaponized towards the wealthy. We see it most most nations that destabilize due to rampant wealth inequality. The working class violently takes over and then weaponized the court to punish the wealthy. I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing. Just stating what is.

    We don't live in an ideal world.

    It’s not entirely surprising for a persona that consistently forms loosely connected ideas, akin to the confident hallucinations of an advanced LLM.

    Frankly that sounds like the French Revolution complete with Madame Guillotine or the Khmer Rouge. I wouldn't call either justice.

    I'm not either. But that's how humanity goes.

    So does that mean you're not all for weaponizing the justice system against the wealthy?

    I'm ambivalent to it. Like I said I don't think it's morally.jist. I think it is. I think suppressing basic human emotions in mass is worthless endeavor.
