A new lawsuit against Elon Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX is an example of the politicization of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Tesla Inc. CEO and Twitter owner says.

The Biden administration on Aug. 24 sued Mr. Musk’s company over its alleged preference to hire U.S. citizens and permanent residents over people granted asylum or refugee status.
