Biden DOJ targeting of Elon Musk is intimidation, pure and simple
NY Post ^ | Sep. 20, 2023 | David Harsanyi

Posted on 09/21/2023 8:37:56 AM PDT by lasereye

In a string of remarkable coincidences, President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice has taken a keen interest in all things Elon Musk.

The US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York is reportedly pursuing criminal charges against Musk, scrutinizing whether the Tesla CEO failed to disclose personal benefits he received from his car company.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the new inquiry centers around Tesla’s “Project 42,” an alleged plan for a weird glass home and structure that Musk talked about constructing in Texas but never built.

It is quite the happenstance that only last month, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division also launched a bizarre suit against Musk’s SpaceX, alleging the company engaged in employment discrimination against non-US citizens.

Or, to put it more plainly, the Biden administration, which, as we speak, is overseeing a historic surge of illegal border crossings, is suing America’s most successful legal immigrants for failing to hire noncitizens.

Among other things, SpaceX, which has partnered with the US military on projects, produces rockets that are considered advanced weapons technology.

As numerous commenters have pointed out, companies involved in comparable work, including Northrop Grumman, have used similar hiring practices.

Yet for some reason, the DOJ has singled out Musk.

Now a suspicious person might point out it would likely not be above a DOJ that indicts the opposition party’s leading presidential candidate, regularly sues states to overturn laws it doesn’t like and prosecutes parents who protest school boards and teachers unions to target a powerful political opponent.

After buying the social-media platform Twitter, he not only reinstated Donald Trump’s account but those of numerous other critics censored by the company’s previous regime.

Musk has opposed government COVID mandates, criticized the left’s “woke mind virus” and called Democrats the party of “division and hate.”

"Biden is Communist top to bottom"

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Totalitarian is more accurate. He's OK with private ownership, as long as appropriate tribute is paid, and it becomes a tool of The Reich.

Tyranny. We now have a racist government that is hell bent on destroying all of us. Our votes aren’t counted in a true fashion, our liberties are being squashed, and all that’s left is the cartridge box.

It’s Obama, the Kenyan rock sucker and his puppet masters at the WEF that control Biden.

Nice of someone in the media to finally figure that out, and/or admit it, since the media enables it.

Musk said things democrats didn’t like so they’re trying to hurt him and his companies. Democrat goons want to send a message to people who speak out against them.

President Trump called out the goons and thugs in DC so democrats and their goons and thugs are trying to destroy his ability to run for office.

It’s intimidation - the act of bullies and totalitarians. Spread the word to hate these jerks and to hate them at every step of the way.

I worked for a supplier to Boeing, Gulfstream, and Embraer.
There is this little government guidance called ITAR.
That's the International Traffic in Arms Regulation.
You must be a US citizen to work on ITAR items.
We made things as simple as monitor covers to as complex as leading edge slats.
All covered by ITAR.

Includes space-related technology because of application to missile technology
Includes technical data related to defense articles and services

two types of people under ITAR
US Person
Who’s been granted US citizenship,
Who’s a lawful permanent resident in the US,
Who’s been granted the status of “protected person”,
Or an employee of the US government.
Foreign Person
Who isn’t a US citizen,
Who isn’t a lawful permanent resident,
Who isn’t a “protected individual”,
Or, who isn’t an employee of the US government.
Also citizens of these countries can not work under ITAR

Our communist masters cannot permit the continuing disruptive example of innovation, ingenuity, efficiency, and independence to continue unabated...

Particularly when it lays bare the underlying inefficiency, corruption, and wasted taxpayer’s earnings that NASA represents so effectively...

This “problem” has an easy solution:

Hank Reardon “hired” Wesley Mouch to be his lobbyist/spokesman in WDC.

All Musk has to do is hire a “connected establishment” lobbyist (to pay off the thugs that are out to ruin him) and his problem will be solved!

Who will be Musk’s Wesley Mouch?

And, will he betray Musk as Mouch did Reardon?

Stay tuned!
