As soon as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> made himself an enemy of &#8220;democracy&#8221; by supporting free speech on social media, (we know, that makes no sense) he put a target on his back from the Biden administration. In fact, the president even telegraphed that his goons in the government would come after Musk after he bought Twitter — but it wasn&#8217;t clear what exactly he meant.
On Thursday, Americans got their answer: President Joe Biden&#8217;s Department of Justice <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-spacex-discriminating-against-asylees-and-refugees-hiring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> a lawsuit Thursday against Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX for “allegedly discriminating against asylees and refugees in hiring.” The DOJ <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-spacex-discriminating-against-asylees-and-refugees-hiring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleges</a> that SpaceX violated the Immigration and Nationality Act by discouraging asylees and refugees from applying and refusing to hire them. The Justice Department claims SpaceX instead chose to hire U.S. citizens and legal residents.
Yes, that&#8217;s right — Musk is being investigated for putting Americans first.
So, how did we know that some sort of federal action would come down the pike against Musk? Well, last November, Biden was asked point blank if he thought that Musk was a &#8220;national security threat&#8221; and whether or not Twitter (now known as X) should be investigated.
Biden refused to answer whether Musk threatened national security, but said that his purchase of the platform was &#8220;worth being looked at.&#8221; 
When asked how he would go about doing that, Biden chuckled, &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of ways.&#8221; It was ominous then, and seems even more sinister now.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
BIDEN: I think that Elon Musk&#39;s cooperation and or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at. Whether or not he is doing anything inappropriate — I&#39;m not suggesting that — I&#39;m suggesting that it&#39;s worth being looked at. But that&#39;s all I&#39;ll say. <a href="https://t.co/I11l87M5FQ">pic.twitter.com/I11l87M5FQ</a>

From the outside, it looks like Biden&#8217;s response was effectively a sign to the powers that be to go after Musk. This isn&#8217;t the first time something like this has happened.

Consider that the president, and other Democrats, have made it a habit in recent years to make vague statements about the power of the U.S. government against their enemies &#8212; only for events to happen as they predict.
For example, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) warned Trump in January 2017, &#8220;You take on the intelligence community, they have six ways till Sunday at getting at you. So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he&#8217;s being real dumb to do this.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Schumer Warns Trump: Intel Community Has Many Ways to &#039;Get Back at You&#039; (FLASHBACK)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6OYyXv2l4-I?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
And what happened? Well, Russiagate, the Ukrainian impeachment, and Hunter Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/congrats-to-the-u-s-intelligence-community-back-to-back-u-s-presidential-election-interference-champs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">laptop</a> are just a few of the examples of the intelligence community &#8220;getting back&#8221; at Trump.
Then, Biden forecasted that if Russia invaded Ukraine, the Nordstream Pipeline 2 would &#8220;no longer&#8221; be there. How would that happen, he was asked. Biden responded,  &#8220;We, will uh&#8230;I promise you will be able to do that.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Biden says he&#039;ll shut down Nord Stream 2 pipeline if Russia further invades Ukraine" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FVbEoZXhCrM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
He was right. A portion of the pipeline was blown to smithereens. When it first happened, the intelligence community blamed Russia. Now, sources say that Ukrainian special forces did it and that the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/06/06/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-ukraine-russia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. knew it was going to happen months in advance</a>.
The Biden administration, and Democrats at large, find a way to get back at their political enemies. Just ask the pro-life father of seven Mark Houck, Catholics, parents, and former President Donald J. Trump how the Left is unafraid to wield government force to punish their opponents.
Musk is an opponent of the Left. So it makes sense that Biden&#8217;s DOJ is coming after him. GOP Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno summarized the situation nicely.
&#8220;Instead of punishing @elonmusk for hiring American citizens over non-citizens, we should be celebrating him for putting our people first. This is all really just about the Dem thugs in the Biden DOJ being furious that Elon ended the censorship and brought Freedom of Speech to @X.&#8221;

Indeed, that&#8217;s the best explanation thus far.
