Musk Faces Discrimination Charges: Will DOGE Suffer the Effects?

  • U.S. DOJ files lawsuit against SpaceX for alleged discrimination against refugees.
  • SpaceX CEO Elon Musk defends their decision saying there are rules preventing the hiring of refugees in the U.S.
  • DOGE’s performance has slightly improved since last week, standing at $0.06227.

According to the latest reports, the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s spacecraft company SpaceX for discrimination against refugees.

As per the case, SpaceX discouraged refugees from applying to roles in the company. And even if they did apply, the firm refused to consider them because of their citizenship status. This, according to the DOJ, is in direct violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

The DOJ alleges that in job postings and public statements, the tech firm claimed that under federal regulations known as “export control laws,” they could hire only “U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.” Such persons would be also known as “green card holders” in the U.S. However, the law does not mandate such a hiring practice.

In response to these allegations, Musk claimed that the decision to hire refugees did not come under their purview. “… you’re working on rocket technology that’s considered an advanced weapons technology. So even a normal work visa isn’t sufficient unless you get special permission from the secretary of defense,” said the tech billionaire.

This is not the first time this week that Musk was in the news. Earlier this week, reports emerged that a considerable percentage of the billionaires’s Twitter followers were idle on the app, denoting that they could be bots. According to Culture Crave’s post, 42% of Elon Musk’s 153M Twitter followers have zero followers and over 62.5M of Musk’s followers have posted zero tweets.

Musk is a figure the crypto community looks up to, not only because of his entrepreneurial spirit and tech-focused ventures but also because of his love of DOGE. Musk’s favorite crypto DOGE appears to still be in the red zone. Standing at $0.06227 at press time, DOGE suffered from a dip of 0.38% over the past week. It is, however, doing considerably better than its miserable performance last week.

Core's Revolutionary Satoshi Plus Consensus Marries Decentralization, Security, and Scalability

Image
Singapore, Singapore, 30th March, 2023, Chainwire Core is a novel layer one blockchain that is pushing the boundaries within the crypto space. Inspired by Bitcoin and Ethereum, Core progresses beyond those blockchain behemoths by synthesizing each of their superpowers. A student of blockchain history, philosophy, and innovation, Core optimally balances decentralization, security, and scalability. Without Core’s advancements, crypto has been plagued by the “Blockchain Trilemma,” which states that decentralization, security, and scalability can never be achieved simultaneously. Tackling the Trilemma head-on, Core DAO contributors have designed a unique consensus mechanism known as Satoshi Plus, which marries the decentralization and security of Bitcoin’s Proof of Work (PoW) with the scalability of Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS).  With Satoshi Plus consensus, both Bitcoin miners and CORE token holders can participate in network security by delegating their BT...
