The U.S. Justice Department has decided to dismiss a case against SpaceX that involved accusations of discrimination based on citizenship status in its hiring practices. The August 2023 lawsuit claimed SpaceX unfairly evaluated applications from refugees and asylees, discouraged their job applications, and unlawfully discriminated against them. The dismissal, filed without opposition in a Texas court, prevents the Department from bringing these charges again. Elon Musk previously attributed the hiring restrictions to export control laws, which the Justice Department disputed, asserting those laws do not limit hiring practices in the alleged manner.
The U.S. Justice Department announced it would dismiss its discrimination case against SpaceX over citizenship status, indicating no further charges could be filed.
