#2 In a post on X, the SpaceX CEO said the company “was told repeatedly that hiring anyone who was not a permanent resident of the United States would violate international arms trafficking law, which would be a criminal offense.”

He was following the law for 4 years now the weaponized government says he is not. These idiots really want us to start shooting, don't they?

#4 There are 'folk stories' in the food industry about government departments acting like independent nations. One was about a meat packing plant in [Amarillo, TX, supposedly] where the OSHA saw a line of 'swinging beef' carcasses moving over a floor trench to catch the drips and offal -- 'No good! Install a safety barrier immediately!' Okay, so they did and the FDA inspector showed up and had an aneurysm because 'that barrier can can cause contamination so remove it immediately!' ...the fact that OSHA had mandated it didn't make any difference. Supposedly they just made the barrier removable and only put it up when OSAHA was due... Amusing if cynical story and possibly true about the 'Food Biz' of 20 odd years ago.

TL/DR: Having two government agencies demanding contradictory things at the same time is believable and doesn't require actual 'political malice'. The fact that SpaceX couldn't "make a few calls' and solve the issue might imply that malice exists.
